NOW Betaine HCI 648mg 120 capsules

NOW® Betaine HCl is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it supports protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes. Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in food. HCl production typically declines with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin can help maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity similar to animal pepsin.
