★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Betaine HCl Capsules give you betaine hydrochloride on its own, with no pepsin or fillers. Each capsule provides 450mg and you take one capsule before a meal, up to three times a day. One pot holds 180 capsules, which is a 60 day supply at three a day.
Benefits of taking betaine HCl
Betaine hydrochloride is a source of hydrochloric acid taken with food. Stomach acid begins protein digestion and helps release minerals from food, so people take betaine HCl immediately before meals when they want that support, usually on practitioner advice. Each capsule holds betaine HCl and the vegetable shell only, so the amount can be built up capsule by capsule as a practitioner directs.
- Hydrochloric acid arrives with the meal, from a fixed 450mg of betaine HCl per capsule.
- Pepsin is left out, so you get betaine HCl without the enzyme found in some blends.
- Building up is simple, because each capsule is one plain 450mg step.
- One pot covers two months at three capsules a day.
Who benefits
Betaine HCl Capsules are most useful for:
- People whose practitioner or nutritional therapist has suggested betaine HCl with protein meals.
- Anyone who wants a single ingredient capsule at a stated amount.
- Those who want it without pepsin.
If you want betaine HCl inside a before meal formula with turmeric, choline and bromelain, Digestade Capsules give 75mg in each capsule.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 450mg of betaine hydrochloride. There is nothing else in it apart from the vegetable capsule shell.
Betaine HCl is not the same product as betaine TMG. They share a core molecule but have opposite purposes. Betaine HCl releases hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is taken immediately before meals, while betaine TMG, which is betaine citrate, is a methyl donor taken with food. There is no authorised health claim for betaine HCl, so Nutri Tailor describes it by what it contains.
How to take it
Take one capsule immediately before a meal, up to three times a day. It is usually taken before meals that contain protein, built up capsule by capsule as a practitioner directs. Not everyone suits it, so anyone on prescribed tablets, or in doubt, speaks to a GP or pharmacist first.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
How is betaine HCl usually taken?
One capsule immediately before a protein meal, built up capsule by capsule as a practitioner directs. The label allows up to three capsules a day, one before each meal.
Does it contain pepsin?
No. Each capsule is betaine HCl and the vegetable shell only, for people who want it without the pepsin found in some blends.
What is the difference between betaine HCl and betaine TMG?
They share a core molecule but have opposite purposes. Betaine HCl releases hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is taken immediately before meals. The TMG form, which is betaine citrate, is a methyl donor taken with food. They are not interchangeable, so check which one you were advised.
How long does a pot last?
A pot of 180 capsules lasts 60 days at three a day, or 90 days at two a day.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes. It is often taken alongside Enzymase Digestive Enzyme Capsules, which add more enzymes, or inside the Digestade formula if you want the combination in one capsule.
Does betaine HCl have side effects?
Keep it to immediately before meals, as the label directs, because the acid is meant to meet food. Not everyone suits it. If you take prescribed tablets, are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your GP or pharmacist first.

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 is betaine HCl usually taken?
One capsule immediately before a protein meal, built up capsule by capsule as a practitioner directs.
Does betaine HCl contain pepsin?
No. Each capsule is betaine HCl and the vegetable shell only, for people who want it without the pepsin found in some blends.
Who is betaine HCl best for?
People whose practitioner or nutritional therapist has suggested a stomach-acid supplement with protein meals and who want a single-ingredient capsule at a stated dose. Not suitable for everyone; anyone on prescribed tablets or in doubt speaks to a GP or pharmacist first. There is no authorised health claim, so Nutri Tailor does not promise an outcome.
What is the difference between betaine HCl and betaine TMG?
Same core molecule, opposite purpose. Betaine HCl releases hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is taken immediately before meals. Betaine TMG (betaine citrate) is a methyl donor taken with food. They are not interchangeable.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
