Three-in-One Digestive Support
This formula combines three ingredients with complementary functions. Betaine HCl helps provide a favorable acidic environment in the stomach. Pepsin is the primary enzyme the body produces to break down proteins in this acidic setting. Finally, Gentian, a traditional bitter herb, helps to stimulate the body’s own production of digestive enzymes, further supporting digestive capacity.*
Promotes Optimal Protein Digestion*
Properly digesting protein-rich foods is crucial for muscle maintenance, hormone production, and more. The combination of Betaine HCl and Pepsin in this digestive enzyme supplement works in harmony with your body’s mechanisms. It supports the breakdown of proteins into smaller, absorbable amino acids, ensuring you get the maximum nutritional value from your diet.*
