Product Information
This is a specialist product for aiding digestion which supplies a relevant level of betaine, a compound that releases hydrochloric acid, plus pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins in food.
The stomach naturally produces hydrochloric acid to keep its contents acidic. This is important for effective digestion by enzymes and for killing pathogenic bacteria present in the food so that the ingested food is sterilised. It also allows Vitamin B12 to be extracted from the food we eat. However as we age, we tend to produce less acid and so a supplement can be useful to help replace some of the lost acidity.

"Made no difference"

I bought this for my husband who has severe bloating every evening after a light dinner. I had read somewhere that HCI could help, but unfortunately it made absolutely no difference to him. I suppose I was hoping for a miracle cure, so am disappointed.

I am taking this product in the middle of my main meal to help with my excess acidity. I have been living on antacids and now find that although it is early days yet, I have cut right down on my antiacids and am feeling a lot better. Other people have managed to balance their stomach acids and give up antacids altogether. I hope to achieve this. Well worth a try.
