Key features

- Supplied in vegetable capsules
Background
Hydrochloric acid is produced naturally in the stomach, where it activates pepsin, an enzyme that begins breaking down protein from food. Betaine HCl is a source of hydrochloric acid, and many digestive formulas pair it with a protein-digesting enzyme. Here the enzyme is vegetarian, which makes the product suitable for people who avoid animal-derived pepsin.
Available in a 120 vcaps tub.
