Betaine HCIIn many digestive enzyme supplements, the compound is combined with Pepsin, for effective protein utilization and calcium absorption. Overall, Betaine Hydrochloride promotes enzyme production which ultimately assists in overall food break down and absorption. From anti aging perspective, low stomach acid levels are associated with aging and many types of chronic unwellness. According to research, lower hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach, in particular, are associated with increased risks of chronic fungal or Candida infection, chronic dysbiosis or bacterial imbalances within the large intestine and digestive tract. Adequate acidification of the stomach is also required for normal absorption of certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12. In general, the research suggests that one would not want to use the compound if there is a history of ulcer or significant gastritis. Betaine HCI - StudiesSelhub J. Homocysteine metabolism.
