Promotes protein digestion
• For optimal stomach acidity
• Promotes protein breakdown and absorption
• Benefits individuals with occasional indigestion
• Contains betaine HCL and pepsin
• Hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach
assists protein digestion by activating
pepsinogen to pepsin, which renders the
stomach sterile against ingested pathogens.
Also inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the
small intestine, encourages the flow of bile
and pancreatic enzymes plus facilitates the
absorption of nutrients.
• Numerous studies have shown hydrochloric
acid secretions decline with advancing age.
• Thorne offers hydrochloric acid and pepsin
from a porcine source which is pure,
undiluted and lactose-free.
Suggested use: 1–2 capsules with each
meal. It is not recommended to remove the
Betaine HCL & Pepsin powder from the
capsule, as it can be irritating to the oral
mucosa.
