Nutricost Betaine HCl + Pepsin — 790 mg – 240 Capsules

Description

Betaine HCL + pepsin is a digestive aid used to treat indigestion, heart burn, and nutritional deficiencies caused by insufficient stomach acid. Risk of low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) increases with factors such as age, stress and smoking, or long-term use of antacids.   Betaine HCL is a combination of betaine (an amino acid derivative) and hydrochloric acid. Betaine HCL may also play a role in aiding heart health by decreasing homocysteine (an amino acid associated with plaque buildup in the blood stream) levels in healthy individuals.
