Premier Research Labs Premier HCL - Betaine HCL, Betaine Hydrochloride Supplement for Optimal Digestive Function, Nutrient Absorption, Betaine-HCL for Low Stomach Acid- 90 Vegetarian Capsules

This is crazy. My daughter has been suffering increasing food allergies. So much so that we were getting very concerned. Mom was ready to pay a so called holistic doctor (I'm very much in favor of holistic medicine, but like everything, there are a lot of charlatans banking on peoples ignorance and desperation). All eyes were on me to step it up and cough up at least half in not the whole account. I spent 3 days researching the issues of food allergies. In my daughters case, it turned out to be a digestive issue. She suffered from heart burn as well. Which was odd cause she neither indulges in drink nor unhealthy eating habits (she can't afford to). One day she called in somewhat of a panic because or worsening conditioning lead to a bout of a serious case of heart burn. She had just recieved much of the products I bought from Amazon (including Primier HCL), and pleaded with me what can she take. Non of the antacids she took was helping. I told her try half the HCL, but beware, it could make things worse. She took reluctantly. We hung up. 20 minutes latter she called to tell me it work. What I learned, and the reason I bought the HCL, is that heart burn can be caused by both to much acid, or to little acid. In her case, it's to little. Coupled with the best digestive enzymes, probotics, fish oil, tumeric acid, liquid sublingual B12 Complex that money can buy (all of which is available on Amazon) - for the first time in her young adult life, my daughter has been free from having to take benadryl every time she ate something. Incredible!!! And I'm the Hero. Do your research, in anything. The key is recognizing the BS mixed in with all the good stuff. Good luck there though. It's a knack that comes from having done a lot of reading, research, and experience. But it can be done.

I'm getting a little older and was having problems eating anything that was even slightly difficult to digest. I saw friend, much older than I eating things like French fries with impunity. Over time, my diet had changed to almost always just turkey sandwiches. I'd get indigestion at the slightest hint of grease of excess protein (even peanuts) and it feel full for a long time...occasionally days. I originally thought it was acid reflux, and someone suggested it may be a low stomach acid problem. I did a little research and decided to give Premier Research Labs Premier HCL a try. It's fabulous. If I anticipate a large meal or one that may be hard to digest, I simply take 2 or these before I eat and no more problems with digestions. I don't always remember and when I start to feel bloated, I'll take 2. Same results, this product just works. I had been taking antacid in the past, which worked in my youth. It clearly wasn't working anymore, the problem wasn't too much acid, it was that I didn't have enough. Can't say enough good things about this HCL.

Does the job. You have to work on the dosage. It works for me.

I wish it contained pepsin, but this product really supported my digestion. I'm able to enjoy food again.

I have been using this product for about 3 years. For an older person like me this helps in my digestion of foods. Sometimes I am able to cut back to half of the v-cap.

Top quality

These have really helped me with my digestive issues.

Pretty good, I like the fact that their line is pure without fillers, but this lacks pepsin, so not as effective for me. Pricey, too. The Premier product line forces you to take too many different products just to digest your food. I think they require 4 products...this one, their Digest, and the booster for the HCL...and the Gastroven to heal the stomach. I tried them all, but it became too complicated and cumbersome, especially when traveling, to have to deal with so many products just to digest food, not to mention the other regular supplements that I took. I am now taking Thorne Betaine HCL & Pepsin. It is more effective due to the higher potency and the pepsin in it. I had to take 8 of the Premier HCL + boosters, etc. and now I only need 2 of the Thorne. So much nicer and simpler!!
