Key benefits
Betaine HCl is made with a formula containing 750 mg of betaine hydrochloride (HCl) paired with pepsin, a vital enzyme responsible for protein breakdown within the body. Made to enhance digestive efficacy, Betaine HCl is particularly beneficial for people who have low stomach acid levels, as it facilitates optimal protein digestion.
Betaine HCl acts as a crucial source of hydrochloric acid (HCl), fundamental for effective digestion. Functioning as a digestive powerhouse, HCl disassembles food, particularly proteins, within the stomach before it moves along to the small intestine for further processing and absorption. Additionally, HCl triggers the secretion of pepsin, an indispensable enzyme key for protein digestion. Designs for Health's formulation includes pepsin to counteract diminished levels resulting from low stomach acid, ensuring comprehensive digestive support.
Beyond its role in digestion, stomach acid plays a pivotal role in micronutrient absorption, including essential elements such as vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and selenium. Insufficient stomach acid levels can disrupt digestive processes, particularly protein breakdown. Furthermore, HCl serves as a protective barrier for the stomach against potential pathogenic threats, effectively protecting against harmful bacteria and microbes.
Delivered in convenient capsule form, each serving provides 750 mg of betaine HCl and 40 mg of pepsin.
