Betaine HCl with Pepsin 250 mg Supplement for Men & Women - Digestive Support, Betaine Hydrochloride Capsules, Gut Health Support Formula, Gluten Free - 180 Veg Cap Ct

I was in need of a digestive enzyme or supplement. The one I was taking was great but just too expensive. I came across this one. And solaray is an amazing brand that's been around for years and has other high quality supplements. The bottle does say take before you eat which is kind of a pain in the butt but I've been taking this for a while now and if you take it during the meal or even after or works just as good. It's easy to swallow. I've even opened up the capsules and put them in water or my smoothie. Does a great job of getting rid of digestive bloating, stomach pain and just improving all over digestion. I particularly like this one because of the variety of ingredients. Many of digestive enzymes just have one main ingredient. This one is combining several for just heavy hitting. And with 180 capsules inside for the price it's 100% worth it. Okay I travel with these everywhere I go. As with any supplement just make sure you're always staying fully hydrated to help for maximum absorption but also improve digestion.

Did you know that sometimes GERD is caused by low levels of stomach acid? Your esophagus fails to close if the level of acidity in your stomach falls too low. I had GERD for over 10 years. It was the side effect of a medication I was on. My internist mistakenly thought my stomach acid was too high and put me on proton pump inhibitors. Which pretty much guaranteed that I would have GERD forever. Luckily I have a new doctor. She correctly diagnosed me with low stomach acid, not high stomach acid. So first I tried one of these capsules with every meal , things improved but the problems didn't go away. Then my doctor said double it up. That did the trick. In less than a week, the results were obvious. My GERD was greatly improved. My gas went away, along with bloating, and the gut cramps. Within six weeks, I was able to try skipping the HCl and the digestive enzymes, without experiencing relapse. Now the reason why I was producing so little stomach acid was because my digestion was broken. In order to heal your digestion , you need to support it using HCl and digestive enzymes. You will probably need more digestive enzymes than the ones contained in this product but there are many excellent ones on the market. In order to heal the gut, you need to support it with glutamine . Glutamine is an amino acid that is used by the gut for energy, and it is required for essential function. It is also used to produce glutathione . Glutathione is the master enzyme that regenerates all of your other antioxidant enzymes . Periods of high stress can strip all of the glutathione in your body. Finally glutamine is also required to produce GABA . Fluctuating levels of GABA in your brain can alter your mood drastically. It's best not to exceed the recommended dose of glutamine in order to prevent this. During periods of trauma or broken digestion or high stress your daily need for glutamine will exceed any normal diet. Therefore doctors will recommend 2 to 3 g of glutamine taken on an empty stomach. Collagen : collagen is required for gut function. In order to heal the gut you need to supplement with collagen. You can do this by drinking bone broth or by taking a powdered collagen supplement. Vitamins. You need all your vitamins and minerals in order in order to heal. This is actually a very complicated topic because many vitamins will block absorption of other vitamins and minerals . Or they can only be absorbed in very precise ratios. But it's safe to say, that centrum or One-A-Day are lousy vitamins. It's mostly because they're not very bioavailable. In order to find a good bioavailable multivitamin you will need to do a lot of research . I would normally recommend Hardy.'s Essential Nutrients except it's such an expensive brand. Vitamin C is required for healing collagen . I was supplementing with 4 to 6 g when I noticed my collagen was healing at an accelerated rate. Make sure you get bioavailable versions of magnesium and zinc supplements. Saccharomyces boulardii: is good if you have some kind of gut trauma. The Saccharomyces actually fights gut inflammation. Bob's Red Mill unmodified potato starch: is resistant starch. Resistant starches are not digested by the gut , instead they are digested by your helpful probiotics. The body doesn't absorb the resistance starch therefore it does not raise glucose levels. Some of the byproducts of the resistance starch help feed the gut as well as feeding your good probiotics. Potato starch is the most concentrated source of resistance starch that you can use. The therapeutic dose is 1 tablespoon taken up to three times per day. Start with 1 teaspoon if you're not used to this stuff. Fiber: it was an eye-opening revelation to me, the difference in fiber quality . It turns out one of the key characteristics of fiber quality is the length of the fiber. Shorter fiber unfortunately feeds some of the bad inhabitants of your gut as well as the more helpful probiotics. Longer fiber feeds your helpful probiotics while starving the parasites. PGX is a trademark form of glucomannan which is extracted from the Konjac root. PGX has undergone a special form of processing which preserves the length of the fiber. I went from Metamucil , to glucomannan , to PGX . And as I upgraded from bad to best, my diarrhea went from relentless to gone. Protein synthesis: healing is by definition the production of new materials to replace that which is broken or gone. Therefore you need to initiate the production of new proteins . To do this you must eat 30 g of proteins in one meal. For example that would be five large eggs. It's an unfortunate amount of food, but nutritionists recommend for anyone trying to heal from a major trauma or medical condition, that you need to eat 30 g of protein three times a day for maximum healing. I find it difficult to do more than 30 g per day , and ended up rearranging my protein intake so that I would eat it all in one meal. But if you want your gut to heal quickly, you really do need to initiate protein synthesis so that you can start replacing some of your missing body functions. Good luck and good health!

Works great when my husband, who can't take pain relievers, gets a headache. He takes two.

I had my Gaul bladder removed 12 years ago. I have been dealing with digestion and IBS issues ever since and it has been getting worse ever since. I tried another Digestive enzyme but the probiotics bothered my stomach and I did not see much of a change. So I tried this because it seemed to have a lot of natural ingredients. This stuff is a game changer.... within the first couple times taking it, I noticed.... Not only has my IBS quieted down, I also feel like I am not sick every time I eat something slightly fatty. At first I thought it made me constipated, but after a day, I realized it was just my digestive system normalizing again after 12 years. Another positive... I feel full quicker and more often, which before taking this, felt impossible most days. Now I just have to remember to take it. LOL Day by day it is getting easier.

Can't see that its made a huge difference but will continue to use as will do anything for eye health. But honestly dont feel as if anything has changed

Amazing product! It's easy to digest, minimal smell, and IT WORKS!!! This product helps my digestive issues which also includes (& it's embarrassing but..) I have BMs. Due to medications my doctor has to put me on ,one of the side effects is constipation (which I HATE) . I've been taking this now for 2 weeks now and my gut feels good along with a daily probiotic. I've had my sibling try this out and needless to say, she will order it too. When bottle runs out, so will I

Gave this a shot didn’t notice any difference maybe it’ll work on you

First time buying this brand. Easy to swallow but notice quite a lot of capsules broken in the container .

Super capsule for digestive issues, but don't know the side effects.
