Digestive Support (Science-Based)Betaine (trimethylglycine) is an essential human nutrient found in most tissues and synthesized endogenously from choline in the liver and kidneys. Betaine plays several important biological roles, including osmoprotectant, methyl group donor, reduction of plasma homocysteine levels, and amelioration of inflammation and oxidative stress. Hypochlorhydria is common in several medical conditions, including Helicobacter pylori infection and in the geriatric population with atrophic gastritis. Hypochlorhydria can also result from repeated use of acid-reducing pharmacological agents. A hydrochloric acid (HCl) supplement such as betaine HCl is very helpful in this scenario, where free HCl is produced by dissociation once it reaches the stomach. HCl-Pepsin SAP offers an optimal combination of betaine HCl and pepsin that can help support digestion and improve liver function.
