Karuna Health HCl-Pepsin

• Karuna Health HCl-Pepsin supports optimal gastric function.

• Secretion of hydrochloric acid diminishes with age, and older adults have low stomach acid.

• Hypochlorhydria and achlorhydria are associated with faulty digestion, impaired absorption of several vitamins and minerals.

• Excessive absorption of food antigens, and disruptions of intestinal pH that unfavorably impact populations of gut flora.

• HCl-Pepsin provides betaine and glutamic hydrochloride which release hydrochloric acid at a rate which approximates that of normal physiological secretion.

Suggested use:
One or more capsules, taken with meals, or as directed. Warning: patients with active peptic ulcer should use HCl products with caution.
