Improve protein digestion and nutrient absorption with betaine hydrochloride
Betaine HCl provides supplemental hydrochloric acid to support stomach acid levels during meals. Adequate stomach acid is essential for protein digestion, mineral absorption (particularly iron, calcium and zinc), B12 absorption, and as a first line defence against ingested bacteria.
Each capsule provides 450mg of betaine hydrochloride. Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) is more common than most people realise, particularly in adults over 50, those taking proton pump inhibitors, and anyone experiencing bloating, heaviness or reflux after eating. Counterintuitively, many cases of reflux are caused by insufficient acid rather than excess acid.
Betaine HCl is taken immediately before meals to support the digestive process. It is a different product from Betaine (betaine citrate), which is used for methylation support rather than digestive acid production.
Do not take Betaine HCl if you have active gastric ulcers, gastritis or are taking NSAIDs regularly, as these conditions involve compromised stomach lining integrity.
Key benefits:
- Better digestion of protein rich meals
- Improved absorption of key nutrients
- Less bloating and heaviness after eating
| Each capsule contains: | %NRV* | |
|---|---|---|
| Betaine HCI | 450 mg | † |
† Nutrient Reference Value (NRV*) not established
Betaine HCI, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule).
Directions for use:
Take 1 capsule before a meal, up to 3 times daily.
Take immediately before your main protein containing meals. Start with 1 capsule before one meal to assess tolerance, then increase to 1 capsule before each of your three main meals if well tolerated.
If you experience a warm or burning sensation in the stomach, reduce the dose. This indicates your acid levels may be adequate and supplementation is not needed at that dose.

Frequently asked questions
What is Betaine HCl good for?
Betaine HCl supports optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
When should I take digestive support?
Take at the start of meals for best results.
How do I know if I need digestive support?
Signs include bloating after meals and feeling overly full.
Can I become dependent on digestive enzymes?
No, enzymes support digestion without reducing your natural production. They are safe for long-term use.
What is the difference between enzymes and HCl?
Enzymes break down food. HCl (stomach acid) activates enzymes and kills pathogens. Some people need both.
Why do I bloat after eating healthy foods?
Fibre, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables can cause bloating if digestion is compromised. Enzymes can help.
