Thorne Research’s Betaine HCl & Pepsin delivers valuable digestive support in an exclusive, effective, and hypoallergenic formula.
Indigestion is a problem that millions of people suffer from each day. The ailment can be triggered by a
variety of factors: in some cases, indigestion is brought on by eating very spicy foods, while some people may experience discomfort from fatty foods. Basic carbohydrates, such as bread and pasta, may be to blame in other instances.
Experiencing extreme stress can also result in digestive difficulties. However, your dietary choices have a great deal to do with your body’s ability to digest and process nutrients. Despite that, the heart of many cases of chronic
indigestion is actually inadequate production of digestive enzymes.
There are several contributing factors to your body’s inability to generate enough of the enzymes that are critical to proper digestion. These reasons include the overuse
of indigestion medicines, removal of the gallbladder, general illness, and the normal aging process. This occurs because the production of stomach acid, bile, and enzymes originating in the pancreas may be hindered significantly; the
result of this can be the disruption of the proper digestion process—leading to heartburn, gas, and overall discomfort.
Chronic digestive difficulties may prevent your body from adequate absorption of nutrients, which in turn causes
nutritional deficiencies and the related health problems. This is especially common with regard to fat-soluble vitamins; these include vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. In addition, food allergies often appear in response
to improperly-digested proteins that pass through the gut: the body tends to identify such proteins as trespassers, and produces antibodies when reacting to them, resulting in an allergic reaction to that food. In effect, you’re wasting
the money you spend on food or other supplements, because you can’t experience their full benefits! Adequate enzyme support from a supplement like Betaine HCl & Pepsin vegetarian capsules can remedy frequent problems with digestion,
allowing you to enjoy life again without the chronic discomfort.

An Amazing cure for me!
By Michelle from Washington on March 31, 2011
I recently went to my naturopathic Dr. and found out my body doesn't produce HCL (thus the tummy trouble). She put me on Thorne's HCL. I take between 1-3 capsules per meal and feel amazing now. I like this particular one because it isn't as strong as the other. As for PureFormula - their prices are amazing and getting the product out the door was equally amazing. I ordered on a Sunday and had by Monday. Thank you for the excellent prices and great service!
Pros:
Price, quantity, ease of use to swollow, perfect dose
I would recommend this item to a friend.
it helps
By NTmomma from Campbell CA on December 27, 2010
we used to buy Pure Encapsulations HCl, but they seem to be unavailable so we tried Thorne. Same potency, cap size, seems to work just fine.
Pros:
no stearates , bigger bottle than Pure Encapsulations
Cons:
price is higher than Pure Encapsulations HCl
I would recommend this item to a friend.
