As
people age, hydrochloric acid secretion may be reduced, resulting
in decreased levels of pepsin, which is needed to break down
proteins into smaller, more easily absorbed substances.
Without proper pepsin levels, the body
has a difficult time digesting food. Betaine hydrochloride
is a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid, which can be
utilised by the stomach to produce pepsin. In many cases of
indigestion the stomach acid is too low as opposed to too
high. The combination of betaine hydrochloride and pepsin
provide an excellent stomach tonic.

Allergies,
