Problems with protein? We all need protein in our diets, but for some of us, it poses a special challenge to our digestive systems. Swanson Betaine HCl is a special formula that gives your stomach a little assistance to help it break down proteins more efficiently. It features VegPeptase™—a vegan-sourced pepsin—an enzyme that helps digest proteins, plus betaine hydrochloride to promote proper pH levels in the stomach. Together they make an excellent digestive team to help tackle protein problems.

FAQ

What are the benefits of taking a Betaine HCl and pepsin supplement?
Swanson Hydrochloric Acid & Pepsin combines betaine hydrochloride (HCl) and pepsin, two key components involved in normal protein digestion. Betaine HCl helps support a healthy acidic stomach environment, while pepsin is a digestive enzyme that helps break down dietary proteins. Together, they support healthy digestion, nutrient utilization and digestive comfort as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
How does Betaine HCl support healthy digestion?
Betaine HCl helps maintain a healthy stomach environment that supports the normal breakdown of food, particularly protein-rich meals. Adequate stomach acidity plays an important role in the digestive process and helps prepare nutrients for absorption further along the digestive tract. Swanson Hydrochloric Acid & Pepsin provides nutritional support for healthy digestive function when taken as directed with meals.
Why does this formula include pepsin?
Pepsin is a naturally occurring digestive enzyme that works in the stomach to help break down proteins into smaller peptides for normal digestion. Because pepsin functions best in an acidic environment, it is often paired with betaine HCl to provide complementary support for protein digestion. Swanson Hydrochloric Acid & Pepsin combines these ingredients to promote efficient digestion of protein-containing meals.
When is the best time to take Betaine HCl and pepsin?
Swanson Hydrochloric Acid & Pepsin is generally best taken with meals, especially meals that contain protein, to support normal digestive processes. Always follow the suggested serving directions on the product label. Individuals with stomach ulcers, gastritis or those taking acid-reducing medications should consult a healthcare provider before using this product.
Does the body's ability to digest food change as we age?
Yes. As part of the normal aging process, changes in digestion can occur, including shifts in stomach acid production, digestive enzyme activity and gastrointestinal function. These natural changes may affect how efficiently the body breaks down and utilizes nutrients, particularly from protein-rich foods. Swanson Hydrochloric Acid & Pepsin is formulated with betaine hydrochloride and VegPeptase™, a vegan-sourced pepsin, to support normal protein digestion and help maintain a healthy stomach environment. When taken with meals as directed, this formula can help support healthy digestive function and nutrient utilization as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.Important: Individuals with stomach ulcers, gastritis, acid reflux or those taking acid-reducing medications should consult their healthcare provider before using a betaine HCl supplement.
