The healthy stomach normally secretes adequate amounts of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Pepsin for the complete digestion of foods, in particular proteins. Many factors can disrupt acid production such as infections (even something as simple as a cold), surgery, stress or trauma, fever, candidiasis, spicy foods, foods eaten too hot or too cold and certain drugs.
One capsule taken three times daily with food, or as professionally directed. NB: HCL & Pepsin capsules should not be opened or chewed.
Provides HCl as betaine hydrochloride and pepsin
Pepsin hydrolyses all types of proteins, reducing them to polypeptides
HCl provides the optimal environment (around pH 2) for pepsin activity
Adequate levels of HCl are required for the absorption of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc
HCl provides an inhibitory environment for potential pathogenic bacteria ingested with food
Encapsulation allows for a quicker release of the ingredients and reduces the likelihood of gastric wall irritation that can sometimes occur with tablets
Low potency and allows for more flexibility in adjusting individual requirements
