Betaine HCl, Pepsin & Gentian Bitters 120 Capsules

Product description:

• Unique formula based on three ingredients that synergistically support the digestive system
• Supports protein digestion, enzyme activation, appetite and helps to eliminate feelings of heaviness after meals

• Betaine HCl is the foundational ingredient for the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. In turn, hydrochloric acid plays a key role in the digestive process - it activates digestive enzymes such as pepsin, helps break down proteins and protects the body from harmful microorganisms that may enter the digestive system with food. A deficiency of gastric acid is associated with a number of unpleasant consequences - it can lead to bloating, a feeling of heaviness after meals and problems with the absorption of nutrients.
• Pepsin is a digestive enzyme that works with hydrochloric acid to efficiently break down proteins into smaller molecules called peptides. It is naturally produced in the stomach, but its action is dependent on adequate levels of hydrochloric acid. Due to the presence of pepsin in the supplement, the digestion process of proteins becomes more efficient, promoting better absorption of nutrients such as amino acids.
• Gentian root (Gentiana lutea) is an ingredient with a long history of use in natural medicine. As far back as antiquity, the Greeks and Romans used gentian as a means of promoting digestion and relieving stomach disorders. Nowadays, gentian is known to stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, including bile and enzymes, which facilitates the breakdown of food and improves appetite. Additionally, its properties help to alleviate feelings of heaviness after meals and support the overall balance of the digestive system.
