HCI & Pepsin combines HCl as betaine hydrochloride and pepsin to provide digestive support.
Pepsin hydrolyses all types of proteins, reducing them to polypeptides. HCI provides the optimal environment (around pH 2) for pepsin activity.
Adequate levels of HCI are required for the absorption of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc.
Features of HCI amp; Pepsin:
- Provides HCI as betaine hydrochloride and pepsin.
- Pepsin hydrolyses all types of proteins, reducing them to polypeptides.
- HCI provides the optimal environment (around pH 2) for pepsin activity.
- Adequate levels of HCI are required for the absorption of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc.
- HCI provides an inhibitory environment for potential pathogenic bacteria ingested with food.
- Encapsulation allows for a quicker release of the ingredients and reduces the likelihood of gastric wall irritation that can sometimes occur with tablets.
- Low potency and allows for more flexibility in adjusting individual requirements.
