Thorne Research Betaine HCL & Pepsin Capsules

Description

Stomach acid does more work than most people realize. It activates pepsin, the enzyme that starts breaking down dietary protein, and it also plays a role in how well the body absorbs certain minerals and fat-soluble vitamins. Thorne’s Betaine HCL & Pepsin pairs betaine hydrochloride with pepsin to support that process directly.

Betaine HCL helps maintain a normal, healthy level of stomach acidity, which supports the early stages of digestion.* Pepsin works alongside it to help break down proteins into smaller, absorbable components.* Together, they support digestive comfort after meals and help the body make use of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, along with minerals such as calcium and magnesium.*

• Betaine hydrochloride plus pepsin
• Supports normal stomach acid levels and protein digestion*
• Supports absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals*
• Supports digestive comfort after meals*

This is typically taken with a protein-containing meal rather than on an empty stomach. Betaine HCL is not appropriate for everyone, particularly people with a history of stomach ulcers, so check with your provider before starting, and stop use if you notice any burning or discomfort.
