Betaine HCl and pepsin are naturally occurring
gastric-juice components that render nutrients available for absorption and
biological activity. Specifically, betaine HCl is an acidic form of betaine,
which promotes optimal gastric lumen acidity and pepsin is a protein-digesting
enzyme that catalyzes the splitting of peptide bonds.* Healthy Digestive Function: Betaine HCl and pepsin
promote the solubilization of food particles and the healthy absorption and
utilization of nutrients, including protein, calcium, vitamin B12, and iron.
Contact with gastric juices causes protein and polysaccharide degradation,
allowing them to become more accessible to the actions of the hydrolytic enzymes
in the duodenum and jejunum. Furthermore, HCl contributes to the naturally
acidic environment of the stomach necessary for healthy microbial balance.* Pure Encapsulations Betaine HCl is synthetically
derived. Pepsin is sourced from porcine. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is
derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Hypo-allergenic plant
fiber is derived from pine cellulose. Pure Encapsulations recommends 1 capsule with each
meal. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. Large amounts of betaine HCl may cause stomach
irritation. Individuals with a history of peptic ulcers, gastritis, or
gastrointestinal symptoms should consult their physician before taking betaine
HCl. People taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), cortisone-like drugs, or other medications that might cause a peptic
ulcer should not take betaine HCl. Consult with your physician for more
