Ingredients explained
Betaine (from betaine hydrochloride)
Betaine hydrochloride releases hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which may help acidify stomach contents to support protein breakdown and normal digestion.
Caution: Avoid if you have stomach or duodenal ulcers or persistent heartburn, as added acidity may worsen discomfort; take only with meals to reduce irritation.
Pepsin
Pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme that helps cleave dietary proteins into smaller peptides in the acidic environment of the stomach.
Caution: Use with meals containing protein to match its function; discontinue if you notice gastric irritation or unusual discomfort.
Calcium (from calcium carbonate)
Calcium supports normal digestive enzyme function and overall mineral balance, though this small amount is nutritionally modest.
Caution: This is a low amount, but those tracking total calcium intake should include it in their daily tally.
How they work together
Betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acidity, creating an environment in which pepsin is active. Pepsin then breaks down dietary proteins more efficiently in the acidic gastric environment.
