Betaine HCl from Enzymedica is a food supplement that contributes to digestive comfort when there is a lack of stomach acidity. Betaine HCl is a safe form of both betaine and HCl to be used as a supplement. Betaine HCl provides hydrochloric acid for the stomach , where specialized cells and lining compounds prevent the powerful acid from causing any damage. The stomach is designed to be highly acidic when empty. Its pH ranges from 1.5 to 2.5. When you have to process food, your stomach cells generate more HCl along with a protein-digesting enzyme called pepsin. This combination is really important to break down consumed proteins and destroy ingested microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
