What does it do?

Betaine hydrochloride is a form of betaine combined with hydrochloric acid, the main component of gastric acid, and is used to alleviate indigestion caused by insufficient gastric acid. It is included in digestive aids or vitamin preparations to support digestive function.

Betaine hydrochloride supplies hydrochloric acid in the stomach, increasing the concentration of gastric acid. This facilitates the digestion of food and improves the environment within the gastrointestinal tract, alleviating symptoms of indigestion.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Betaine hydrochloride focuses primarily on supplementing gastric acid and, unlike other gastric acid stimulants, combines with the naturally derived substance betaine, placing less strain on the stomach.
