Description
- Karuna Health HCl-Pepsin provides betaine and glutamic hydrochloride which release hydrochloric acid at a rate which approximates that of normal physiological secretion.
- 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.
Suggested Use:
One or more capsules, taken with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
