Provides betaine HCI, a source of hydochloric acid necessary to initiate the digestion process. Betaine HCL is used to treat a condition known as hypochlorhydria which means the parietal cells in the stomach can no longer produce enough acid. Many are surprised to learn that most people who have recurrent heartburn actually do not make enough stomach acid. Other signs and symptoms that can be attributed to hypochlorhydria include eczema, cystic acne, candidiasis, chronic gas and bloating, gas with a strong odor, food allergies, mineral deficiencies, amino acid deficiencies and indirect bone loss. Metagest betaine HCL is combined with the proteolytic enzyme, pepsin and gentian root, an herbal bitter traditionally used to support digestion. Do not take betaine HCL if you suspect you have an ulcer or with NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofin, motrin, vioxx, etc.)
