Betaine HCL supplementation increases stomach acid levels to improve protein digestion, nutrient absorption, and protect against harmful bacteria. It is beneficial for individuals with low stomach acid production.
Betaine HCL supplementation aims to increase hydrochloric acid (HCl) levels in the stomach. HCl is crucial for protein digestion by activating pepsinogen into pepsin, aiding in nutrient absorption, especially minerals like iron and vitamin B12, and acting as a barrier against ingested pathogens by creating an acidic environment. Supplementation is intended to improve gastric acidity in individuals with hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), thereby supporting digestion, nutrient uptake, and reducing the risk of bacterial overgrowth in the gut.
