Doctor best, Betaine HCl Pepsin and Gentian Bitters - 120 Capsules

Doctor's Best Betaine HCl Pepsin and Gentian Bitters combines three nutritional factors with complementary functions designed to support the efficiency of the digestive process. Each bottle contains 120 capsules.

How It Works

Betaine HCl: formulated to support proper digestive conditions and the digestive capacity of the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes. Pepsin: a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods, working with stomach acid to support protein digestion. Gentian: a herb used to promote digestive capacity and tone the digestive tract. Its bitter nature may help stimulate the body's production of digestive enzymes.

Why Supplement? HCl production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help maintain normal digestive function. This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to animal-derived pepsin.
