## Description

Betaine hcl is a form of hcl used as a nutrient to supplement the stomach's own production of hcl, or stomach acid. While occasional indigestion may be a result of acid irritating tissue in the structure above the stomach known as the esophagus, a line of research suggests that the cause of this irritation may actually be less than optimal stomach acid production. Stomach acid is normally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and the function of stomach acid is to break down food that enters the stomach into smaller fragments and nutrient components. These components move through the stomach into the small intestine where they are further broken down by digestive enzymes in the upper part of the small intestine. Individual nutrients that result from the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates can then be absorbed and assimilated by the body and used for metabolism and growth.

Review: It really works! Take with protein meals only! - Lately I’ve been having gut issues including acid reflux, bloating, indigestion etc. When I eat certain meals I notice I get full really fast then the other symptoms follow. After doing some research I decided to buy this. I took it with my first bite of breakfast and feel fine! But do your research and only take this with meals where there is PROTEIN as this will help break them down properly. Also make sure to get some l glutamine, aloe Vera gel, and zinc carnosine to help attack your gut issues at the source and heal them. These won’t heal your gut but they are a good supplement to take while you are in the process of healing and make digesting food so much easier.
Review: Improved digestion - Taking one with meals and really noticed no more bloating and belly pain. Digestion has improved . Will continue !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Pepsin derived from bovine or porcine?**
A: I called  DB customer service & was told porcine

**Q: What is the source of the Pepsin used in this product? The Amazon description states "all vegetarian" but label says "not suitable for vegetarians".**
A: Manufacturers were efficient in responding to email. This product is made from BOTH porcine and bovine (pork and beef). The pepsin is pork the capsules are bovine. Beware if ALLERGIC.

**Q: How many mg are there in this product?**
A: Betaine HCL 650 mg, Pepsin (1:10,000) 25 mg, and Gentian root 20 mg per capsule.

**Q: Mine is about to expire next month, oct,2017. Is it still potent or should I buy a new bottle**
A: Manufacturers put a 'safe' expiration date on the label. If things are kept at the recommended temperature, or cooler, it will last LONG after that date. Some medications, which were found to be between 21 and 40 years 'outdated' in the shelves of a pharmacy, after testing, still retained 90%+ of potency. I would not expect this stuff to last as long, not even close, but it does not lose potency suddenly; from one day to the other.
Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GAME CHANGER
*by L***I on January 21, 2026*

Two words - game changer. I’ve been suffering with diarrhea ever since I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and put on levothyroxine. Sorry for the TMI upfront, but this supplement gives me regular bowel movements every day. After reading all the reviews, I thought I would give it a try. I have been using this product for 2 weeks. Every morning a normal bm. I take one before every meal with digestive enzymes. I also eat gluten free as well. And no sweets. So far VERY happy with the results…
