Product overview Description 648 mgDigestive SupportVegetarian FormulaNon-GMOA Dietary SupplementVeganKosherHalalFamily Owned Since 1968GMP Quality AssuredNOW® Betaine HCI is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCI) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes. Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods. HCI production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCI and pepsin may help to maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin. Suggested use Take 1-2 capsule at the beginning of each meal. Do not take on an empty stomach. Other ingredients Hypromellose (cellulose capsule), magnesium stearate (vegetable source), silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose. Not manufactured with yeast, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut or sesame ingredients.
