Betaine HCl

Betaine HCl capsules

Betaine Hydrochloride is a chemical substance made in a laboratory by combining betaine and hydrochloric acid (HCl). It’s sold as a supplement source of hydrochloric acid for those who may have low acid in the stomach.* 

A healthy stomach can produce enough hydrochloric acid to support digestion, nutrient absorption, and immunity. With age or under certain health conditions, people can suffer a deficiency of hydrochloric acid making them susceptible to various infections, indigestion, and other gastrointestinal problems. Hydrochloric acid is crucial for bile secretion which plays a role in detoxification and digestion. Both betaine and HCl are crucial for the breakdown of fat and disposal of chemicals that accumulate in our body and thus protect the liver and gallbladder.  Supplementation of betaine HCl may be beneficial to those with inadequate production of HCl.*

The main role of Betaine HCl is to maintain a proper level of acids in the stomach. (1)* Stomach acid is an important part of our immune system that kills the potentially dangerous pathogens in food. It prevents us from getting various infections and its deficiency could cause vulnerabilities. (2)*
