High potency hydrocholoric acid with pepsin to support digestive function. Use where the need for additional HCI is determined.
Low levels of stomach acid are extremely common, with the risk of too little emerging as young as 35 years of age. When one requires a higher potency of HCl, and in order to reduce the number of tablets of HydroZyme and HCl Plus, Betaine Plus HP™can provide the right level of digestive support. Protein digestion relies on adequate HCl, and pancreatic enzymes and bile also require sufficient HCl in order to be produced adequately.
Low stomach acid has many potential negative effects, but particularly with regard to protein digestion and mineral absorption.
