Key Betaine HCl & Pepsin Benefits

• Supports healthy protein digestion and normal digestive enzyme activity.
• Promotes an optimal gastric environment for nutrient absorption.
• Assists digestive comfort after meals that contain protein.
• Provides betaine hydrochloride with porcine-sourced pepsin.

How Betaine HCl & Pepsin Works

Healthy digestion begins in the stomach, where hydrochloric acid helps create the acidic environment needed to begin breaking down food. Betaine HCl supports this normal stomach acidity, which is especially important for the digestion of protein-rich meals. Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme that works within this acidic environment to help break proteins into smaller peptides, making them easier for the body to process.

By supporting normal stomach acid and enzyme activity, this Thorne digestive enzyme formula helps maintain efficient meal breakdown and supports the body’s natural process of absorbing key nutrients. It is best suited for individuals who have been advised by a healthcare practitioner to use hydrochloric acid supplement support with food.

Key Functional Ingredients Include:

• Betaine Hydrochloride: Supports normal gastric acidity and helps maintain the stomach environment needed for efficient digestion.
• Pepsin (Porcine): A digestive enzyme that assists the breakdown of dietary proteins during the digestive process.

This formula contains pepsin from a porcine source. It is designed for individuals who want focused GI health support without unnecessary extras and should be taken only as directed with meals.

Betaine HCl & Pepsin Is Formulated For

• Adults seeking meal-time digestive support.
• Individuals wanting help with normal protein breakdown.
• Those looking to support healthy stomach acidity.
