Benefits individuals with occasional indigestion*

Thorne’s Betaine HCl & Pepsin supports healthy digestion by promoting optimal levels of stomach acid. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is essential for breaking down proteins, absorbing key nutrients, and maintaining a sterile digestive environment. With age, stress, illness, or overuse of antacids, stomach acid levels can decline, leading to symptoms like gas, bloating, and indigestion. This formula combines betaine HCl and pepsin (from a porcine source) to support protein digestion and nutrient absorption—especially for those with low stomach acid. Maintaining proper HCl levels can also help protect against food sensitivities and support a healthy gut barrier.*
