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.

I was recommended to take this as I struggle with digestion. I was always bloated and just couldn’t enjoy the post-part of a meal. I would always turn out to be very sleepy after food and taking HCL from Nature’s Best is one of the best supplements I’ve taken to assist with breaking down foods and to feel good after a meal.

I noticed that not all my food was being properly digested eg sweetcorn and beetroot. This product was recommended to improve my stomach acid and aid digestion.

It worked to increase my stomach acid, just as I was advised to do and it has stopped my symptoms. Now my stomach is starting to behave itself.

We would normally suggest that anyone wishing to use this product should get their stomach acid level tested by their doctor prior to using this product, as this may cause irritation if the digestive issues are not being caused by low stomach acid. I have contacted you directly to discuss this further.

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.
