As we age, hydrochloric acid production in the stomach frequently declines and this can give rise to gut symptoms including bloating and feeling excessively full for long periods after eating.
- Hydrochloric acid has a number of important functions within the stomach
- It assists with the digestion of food and creates an acidic environment in the stomach necessary for the protein-digesting enzyme pepsin to work
- It is also required for the absorption of some minerals e.g. iron, calcium and zinc
- Hydrochloric acid also kills undesirable bacteria in food (i.e. sterilises ingested food)
- Pepsin is a protein digesting enzyme produced in the stomach, where protein digestion begins
- It works best at a low pH (i.e. an acidic environment)
- Each Betaine & Pepsin capsule provides 345mg of betaine hcl and 10mg of pepsin
