Betaine HCl with protease for low stomach acid digestion.
STOMACH ACID RESTORATION
Provides hydrochloric acid directly, supporting the gastric pH that triggers proper pepsin activation and protein digestion.
MINERAL ABSORPTION
Adequate stomach acid is required for absorption of B12, iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Low acid means low mineral status, regardless of intake.
REDUCES BLOATING AFTER PROTEIN
For users who feel bloated and full after protein-heavy meals, betaine HCl can ease the issue by improving protein breakdown.
ACID-STABLE PROTEASE
300 mg of fungal pepsin enzyme that works at low pH alongside the HCl, addressing both the acid and the enzyme sides of protein digestion.

Primary Active Ingredients & Mechanisms
- Betaine HCl 1296 mg (per 2-capsule serving, 648 mg per capsule)
- Trimethylglycine bonded to hydrochloric acid. When the capsule dissolves in the stomach, it releases HCl, lowering gastric pH to the range required for pepsin activation and protein digestion.
- Acid-Stable Protease (300 SAPU) 300 mg from Aspergillus niger
- Fungal pepsin that retains activity in low-pH gastric conditions, breaking down protein into smaller peptides for downstream digestion.
Who is it for?
Adults with low stomach acid symptoms: bloating after protein meals, undigested food in stool, bad breath, B12 or iron deficiency despite intake. Particularly older adults (acid production declines with age) and post-PPI medication users.
Why use it?
Most digestive supplements provide enzymes alone. Stomach acid is the upstream requirement for pepsin activation; without enough acid, enzyme supplementation only solves half the problem. Betaine HCl addresses the acid side directly.
When to use it
Take at the start of a protein-containing meal (within the first few bites). Do not take on an empty stomach; the HCl needs food to work on and to protect the stomach lining.
How to use it
Start with one capsule with a protein-containing meal. Increase by one capsule per meal until you feel mild warmth in the stomach, then back off by one capsule. This is your personal dose.

Forever Natural - Castor oil wrap Medium
Debloat (Kiko Vitals) addresses bloating and digestive comfort through a different angle (botanical carminatives and gut-soothing herbs). The two work as a complementary digestive support stack: betaine HCl for upstream acid, Debloat for downstream comfort.
