Betaine HCl & Pepsin: A Foundational Formula for Stomach Acid Support
Thorne’s Betaine HCl & Pepsin is a targeted supplement designed to support a healthy and acidic stomach environment, which is crucial for optimal digestion. This formula provides hydrochloric acid and the protein-digesting enzyme pepsin for individuals who have low stomach acid production (hypochlorhydria). It is an excellent choice for promoting the proper digestion of proteins, supporting the absorption of essential minerals, and maintaining a healthy balance of flora in the GI tract.
How It Works: Optimizing the First Stage of Digestion
Digestion begins in the stomach, and a sufficient level of acidity is the critical first step. This formula provides the key components to support this process.
Supporting Healthy Stomach Acidity
As we age, or due to the overuse of antacids, the stomach’s production of hydrochloric acid (HCl) can decline. Betaine HCl helps to re-acidify the stomach, creating the necessary environment to begin breaking down food, particularly proteins. A properly acidic stomach also acts as a crucial barrier against unwanted microbes entering the digestive tract.
Promoting Efficient Protein Digestion
Pepsin is the primary enzyme that the body naturally produces in an acidic environment to start breaking down proteins into smaller, more absorbable components called peptides. By providing both HCl and pepsin, this formula ensures the first and most critical phase of protein digestion is fully supported. This can help to relieve occasional indigestion, gas, and bloating after meals.
