Description
- Bioclinic Naturals Betaine HCl w/100mg Fenugreek supports hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach to maintain normal digestion, while the addition of fenugreek may help soothe and support a healthy stomach lining. Low stomach acid is more common with age and may be associated with suboptimal digestion. Combining betaine HCl with fenugreek may help support normal digestion and maintain a healthy digestive tract.
- The stomach’s natural HCl assists in protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin. It also helps maintain a pH that is supportive of healthy digestion, food safety, and a healthy microbiome in the small intestine. The stomach’s natural HCl also encourages the healthy flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes and facilitates the normal absorption of nutrients such as vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, calcium, iron, and magnesium. However, in the absence of adequate stomach HCl, symptoms such as bloating, belching, indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation can arise.
- Numerous studies have shown that acid secretion declines with advancing age, and suboptimal HCl production and secretion are correlated with various potential repercussions. While the underlying etiological factors leading to suboptimal HCl secretion are not well understood, supplementation is generally safe and may be helpful in certain populations. Combining betaine HCl with fenugreek further supports digestive function and health, as fenugreek seeds are an excellent source of mucilage10, which may help soothe gastrointestinal tissue by maintaining a healthy lining of the stomach and intestine.
