What is Thorne Betaine HCl & Pepsin good for?
Thorne Betaine HCl & Pepsin is designed to support healthy digestion by promoting adequate stomach acid levels. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) plays a vital role in breaking down proteins, activating digestive enzymes, sterilising food against pathogens, and improving nutrient absorption. Pepsin, an enzyme activated by HCl, works to efficiently digest dietary proteins.
Low stomach acid—whether due to ageing, illness, gallbladder removal, or frequent antacid use—can contribute to occasional indigestion, bloating, and nutrient deficiencies. This targeted supplement helps maintain digestive efficiency, supports the breakdown of proteins, and enhances the absorption of key vitamins and minerals, including B12, folate, vitamin C, iron, and zinc.
Key Ingredients in Thorne Betaine HCl & Pepsin
