Each tablet provides 324mg of betaine hydrochloride along with pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins in food. As we age, Hydrochloric Acid production frequently declines, but remains important for the breakdown of food in the gut. This supplement helps to replace some of the lost acidity in the stomach, thus aiding the digestion of food. It may be favoured by those who wish to ensure a sufficiency of Hydrochloric Acid.
