NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648mg - 120 Veg Capsules
About NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648mg - 120 Veg Capsules
NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648mg is a vegetarian digestive-support supplement formulated to help maintain proper digestive conditions within the stomach.
Hydrochloric acid, commonly abbreviated as HCl, is naturally produced in the stomach. It contributes to the acidic environment required for normal digestion and helps activate enzymes involved in breaking down dietary protein.
Each vegetarian capsule provides 648mg of Betaine HCl along with 150mg of acid-stable protease, providing 150 SAPU of enzyme activity.
The acid-stable protease is a fungal enzyme derived from Aspergillus niger. It provides activity comparable to animal-derived pepsin while allowing the product to remain suitable for vegetarian and vegan users.
Pepsin and similar protease enzymes help break dietary proteins into smaller components during normal digestion. The combination of Betaine HCl and acid-stable protease is designed to support the stomach environment and normal protein digestion.
Stomach-acid production may naturally change with age and other individual factors. This formula provides supplemental Betaine HCl together with a vegetarian protein-digesting enzyme.
The supplied physical label recommends taking one capsule at the beginning of each meal. The capsule must be taken with food and should never be taken on an empty stomach.
Each bottle contains 120 vegetarian capsules. At one capsule with three meals per day, one bottle provides approximately a 40-day supply.
This product is Non-GMO, vegan, Halal, Kosher and keto friendly. It is manufactured and quality tested in the USA using globally sourced ingredients.
