Thorne Betaine HCL&Pepsin

Thorne Betaine HCl & Pepsin

Thorne Betaine HCl & Pepsin is a digestive support supplement designed to help maintain optimal stomach acidity, support protein digestion, and promote healthy enzyme activity.* Occasional indigestion can be influenced by many factors, including inadequate levels of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach.*

Formulated by Thorne, this targeted formula combines betaine hydrochloride with pepsin, a key digestive enzyme involved in protein breakdown.* Adequate stomach acid plays an essential role in activating pepsinogen to pepsin, supporting digestive sterility against ingested pathogens, inhibiting undesirable bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, and encouraging healthy bile flow and pancreatic enzyme secretion.*

Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of several essential nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, and certain forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc.* Research indicates that stomach acid production can decline with age, which may contribute to reduced protein digestion efficiency.* Thorne Betaine HCl & Pepsin is sourced from porcine pepsin and manufactured to strict quality standards for purity and potency.
