A Digestive Aid
Product Description and Nutritional Activity HCL Plus is designed to provide Betaine Hydrochloride combined with pepsin to enhance protein assimilation and to stimulate the normal release of gastric HCL. Enhancement of gall bladder activity is also aided by the presence of ox bile extract. Normal acidity of the stomach is required to ensure solubility of minerals for optimum absorption.
For instance, without sufficient levels of HCL, iron absorption is significantly reduced. HCL is required for normal protein digestion by converting pepsinogen to the active protein-splitting enzyme, pepsin. HCL deficiency is a leading contributor to indigestion in the elderly.
