Nature's LifeBetaine HCL Capsules 648 Mg 250 Count

Back in 2006 I started having bad allergies and food sensitivities - though I did not know food was a factor at the time. One doctor thought I had GERD so I started taking an antacid and felt better. However, I kept having to take stronger antacids as time progressed. In Oct 2007 I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with gastritis and esophagitis. The GI doctor told me to take more antacids - hard to believe that was his solution! I continued to struggle with food sensitivities on and off since then. I eventually was taking 40 mg of Omeprazole two times a day!In 2009 my allergy doc thought I had leaky gut but did not know much about treating it. Since then I've tried various treatments with some up and down results.I finally started weaning off of the antacids in 2015. I still battled digestive issues on and off and had a lot of food sensitivities. Last July I had about 3 weeks of intense stress, some of it being emotional. In August I had a flare up with foods again and ended up going on Tagament because the doc said I had Gastritis. I was on Tagament for about 3 or 4 months. In this time I started paying attention more to my digestive symptoms and started reading more about digestive aids. Previously I have used apple cider vinegar some and had positive results with it.I noticed I was having regular trouble with oils and fats and I eat a high fat diet (Keto). I've had trouble with oils in times past as well. I asked my chiropractor about that and she said to take Bile Salts. I tried a product called LipoComplex which seemed to help at first but then I went back to have trouble with oils and fats after a week.I started testing various digestive aids and acid reflux aids such as: Licorice Root; Slippery Elm; OxBile; and Butyrate. I could not find any consistency. Then I read about low stomach acid and it all seemed to make sense. If I didn't have enough acid, I wouldn't be digesting as well. So many times I'd feel like food was still sitting in my stomach 3 or 4 hours after eating. I'd be bloated and feel like I ate too much. I read how when the food sits there then it can ferment and lead to symptoms like bloating and indigestion. In times past I would take antacids which helped the symptoms but made the problem worse because the food would enter my digestive tract not digested all of the way, and also make leaky gut worse and cause more food sensitivities!One day when I was having a lot of bloating I tested having about 1/2 tsp of apple cider vinegar with a little water. In about 10-15 minutes my stomach felt tons better! The evidence pointed to low stomach acid. I had read about HCL so I stopped at the natural foods store and picked up the Nature's Life brand. Since I started using it, I have been able to use oils regularly again, and had less reactions to my meals because of fats or oils.I read someone post about how they take these for indigestion like they take aspirin for a headache. This made me laugh but made complete sense to me. It took some trial and error to figure out when to take it and how many. For most meals, I take 3 of these right after the meal - mind you all of my meals consist of meat and veggies. For meals with less protein, less is needed. If I get bloating or fullness I'll take another and wait at least 30 minutes. If I'm still bloated I'll usually take another. If I ever get a burning sensation in my stomach, then I know it was too much and to take 1 less next time. I have found some meats I eat don't require as much, such as chicken. If I eat a little too much then I end up needing more HCL.I've only been taking these for probably 5 or 6 weeks but they have been an answer to my prayers in helping me to be able to eat with less symptoms!

Hallo,habe bisher immer Betain Hcl als Compretten von einem anderen Hersteller gekauft und habe immer mal eine nachder Mahlzeit genommen... 2 davon zugleich waren zuviel.Habe mich dann hinreissen lassen und dieses Produkt gekauft, die Angaben zur HCL und Pepsin waren die gleichen (preis hat Rolle gespielt),allerdings sind diese Pillen verkapselt.Von der Wirkung von dieser Pillen bin ich aber enttäuscht, ich könnte locker 2 oder 3 davon schlucken ohne merkliche Veränderung....bis jetzt habe ich 6 Stk am Tag genommen ohne jegliches Brennen und habe auch sonst nichts positives gemerkt.Abwechslungsweise habe dann das "Alte" Betain genommen und die Wirkung war nach 1x Comprette wieder da.(den Namen/Hersteller vom "Alten" Betain möchte ich nicht nennen damit man mir nichts unterstellt)Kann dieses Produkt niemandem empfehlen.

Excellent product and I use this 1 lot buy over and overcagain

My husband and I both take 2 to 3 of these about 10min before eating a meal and they work very well at keeping down acid reflux! Sometimes for a heavier meal of more protein and fat, I will take even more. A very inexpensive product with awesome return!! Well worth the buy!

Best ive tried. Acid reflux gone
