NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648mg – 120 Veg Caps | Protein Digestion Support

NOW Foods Betaine HCl 648mg – Stomach Acid & Digestive Support with Vegetarian Pepsin

Proper stomach acid levels are essential for healthy digestion — yet HCl production naturally declines with age, leading to bloating, indigestion, and poor nutrient absorption. NOW Foods Betaine HCl is formulated to support optimal digestive conditions in the stomach, combining 648mg of Betaine Hydrochloride with a vegetarian acid-stable protease (fungal pepsin) equivalent in activity to animal-derived pepsin.

Key Benefits

• ✅ Supports healthy stomach acid levels — Betaine HCl helps restore and maintain proper gastric acid for efficient digestion
• ✅ Activates pepsin for protein digestion — HCl activates pepsin, the primary enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary proteins
• ✅ Promotes healthy gut flora balance — adequate stomach acid helps maintain a healthy microbial environment in the GI tract
• ✅ Stimulates intestinal enzyme release — proper gastric acid signals downstream digestive enzyme secretion for complete nutrient breakdown
• ✅ Vegetarian formula — uses acid-stable fungal protease (Aspergillus niger) as a vegetarian alternative to animal-derived pepsin
• ✅ GMP certified — produced in a GMP facility; free from yeast, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts
