Betaine HCL & Pepsin by Thorne at TheMinusShop.com. Free shipping.

For improved protein digestion. Enhances stomach acidity. Promotes protein breakdown and absorption. Benefits individuals with occasional indigestion. Indigestion affects millions of people every day. Although what we eat greatly influences the frequency and severity of indigestion, this discomfort could be related to an underlying problem - poor digestive enzyme activity. Situations such as illness, gall bladder removal, overuse of antacids, and normal aging can contribute to insufficient secretion of stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile, and can adversely affect digestive enzyme activity and lead to occasional heartburn, gas, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort. Hydrochloric acid secretion assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin. It renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens, it inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine and it encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients. Thorne offers hydrochloric acid and pure pepsin from a porcine source. Unlike many supplement companies, the pepsin utilized in Thorne's product is pure, undiluted and lactose-free.
