How to Use It

How to Use It

  • daily dose

    1-2 capsules before each meal or as recommended by your health care professional

What the Research Shows

  • Betaine (also known as trimethylglycine) is a natural substance found in foods such as beets and spinach. Research suggests that betaine supports cell health by acting as a methyl donor. This, in turn, supports healthy methionine, homocysteine and hepatic fat metabolism. Betaine also functions as an osmolyte, which supports the integrity of cells and proteins during fluctuations in hydration, salinity and temperature. Betaine HCl, the acidic form of betaine, has been used for years to support digestion and absorption due to its ability to lower gastric pH. HCl also serves as the body’s primary mechanism against unhealthy agents found in food.*
  • Pepsin is one of the first enzymes to initiate protein digestion, pepsin is synthesized in the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa and secreted as the inactive precursor, pepsinogen. HCl activates pepsinogen to convert it to pepsin once it is outside the cell. Pepsin is released by the chief cells and is responsible for breaking down proteins into peptides. This activation sets up a chain reaction that produces more pepsin allowing for better protein digestion.*

Reviews

Awful HCL

"Do yourself a favor and get your PepsinHcl from Living Well with Dr. Michelle. I bought from this company because the other was sold out. Horrible burning in my stomach everytime. Went back to the other brand and it works beautifully. Dr Ruscio won't refund my money because the bottle is open. Total waste."

— Anna T. (1/5)

DIGESTIVE ACID HCl

"At first I hesitated to write a review since the product did not help me. I had hoped to replace the Omeprazole I've been taking for many years on the theory that my stomach doesn't make enough HCl, but after skipping one Omeprazole in favor of the DA HCl, I had the worst heartburn of my life and had to go back on the Omeprazole. I've seen a physician and am going to have a gastro consult since I've never had one; perhaps that will shed some light on why the GERD has not been treatable through natural means, something I firmly believe in."

— Sharon R. (1/5)

Works great for me in the morning

"I’ve found that this works best for me at my first meal but not later in the day. I’ll keep up the protocol using this early. I want to recommend Dr. Ruscio’s book. It’s so readable and has so much information."

— Cynthia P. (5/5)

Pleasant Surprise

"1capsule before each meal has really helped my IBS/SIBO/symptoms-wonderful finding after living with gut issues for 9+ years!"

— Kathy S. (5/5)

Bad reaction

"I'm sure it's a good product but I did not react well to it."

— Matt F. (3/5)

No more heart burn!

"I love this high dose HCl because it gives my gut what it needs to break down the protein that I need so my GI symptoms like heartburn and bloating has disappeared!"

— Lacy D. (5/5)

This helps keep my acid

"This helps keep my acid reflux down."

— Cynthia S. (5/5)

Bothered my stomach

"To be fair, I may not have low stomach acid, but this did bother my stomach."

— Jill R. (1/5)

Digestive Acid HCL

"I think this product helps me if I have a heavy protein meal. I can’t take more than one, and I take it at the end of the meal."

— Katherine S. (5/5)

I think it's working

"I always take digestive enzymes when I eat due to my digestive issues. This seems to be working fine."

— Vicki S. (4/5)
