AH Betaine HCl + Pepsin is a dietary supplement containing a synergistic combination of betaine hydrochloride and pepsin. It is intended for healthy adults.
The use of this supplement is recommended at the beginning of the largest meal of the day, especially when protein sources are abundant.
Betaine hydrochloride
Due to the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the molecule, betaine hydrochloride has a very acidic reaction - the pH is in the range of 0.8-1.2. It is particularly popular for supplementation by people with gastric insufficiency, as a source of hydrochloric acid, such as that naturally found in gastric juice.
Pepsin
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme - it participates in the digestion of proteins. It is naturally produced in the human stomach in the form of pepsinogen. Pepsin breaks down long protein chains into shorter fragments, or polypeptides. This supplement uses natural pepsin obtained by fermentation by the fungus Aspergillus niger. It has high enzymatic activity (2000 SAPU/g), making it effective in small amounts. Pepsin contained in one capsule of this supplement generates activity as high as 200 SAPU.
In summary, AH Betaine HCl + Pepsin is a synergistic dietary supplement that delivers hydrochloric acid betaine and protein-digesting pepsin to the stomach.
