Hypo-Allergenic Betaine
Hydrochloride and Pepsin and Ox Bile
Product Description and Nutritional Activity
HCL Plus is designed to provide Betaine Hydrochloride combined
with pepsin to enhance protein assimilation and to stimulate
the normal release of gastric HCL. Enhancement of gall bladder
activity is also aided by the presence of ox bile extract.
Normal acidity of the stomach is required to ensure solubility
of minerals for optimum absorption. For instance, without
sufficient levels of HCL, iron absorption is significantly
reduced.
HCL
is required for normal protein digestion by converting
pepsinogen to the active protein-splitting enzyme, pepsin. HCL
deficiency is a leading contributor to indigestion in the
elderly.
