As we age, gastric acid production declines, resulting in less efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients. Betaine Hydrochloride with Fenugreek is a Natural Factors product that promotes healthy digestion by stimulating pancreatic enzyme secretion and reducing gastric inflammation.
Betaine hydrochloride increases the level of hydrochloric acid necessary for proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients in the stomach. HCl aids the complete digestion of proteins by converting pepsinogen into pepsin; it promotes the circulation of bile and pancreatic enzymes; it neutralizes orally ingested pathogens; it prevents bacterial or fungal proliferation in the small intestine; it facilitates the absorption of a wide range of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
When HCl is insufficient, digestion can suffer, resulting in various digestive symptoms such as bloating, belching, diarrhea or constipation. Betaine hydrochloride helps to restore normal stomach acidity and keep the gastrointestinal system functioning properly. Taking betaine hydrochloride before or during meals can help to activate the digestive process, helping the body to digest and break down food.
Fenugreek seeds have a lenitive action on the gastrointestinal tract, providing mucilage that lines the walls of the stomach and intestines, calming inflammation. Betaine hydrochloride with fenugreek from Natural Factors promotes healthy digestion and helps relieve all symptoms of digestive insufficiency.
