NutricostBetaine HCl + Pepsin 790mg, 240 Capsules - Vegetarian & GMO Free

These are the best to use. The capsules work fast, so food digestion is something you don't even think about..

had emergency gallbladder surgery last year, and continued to have digestive issues afterwards, was recommended this product by a family member that also had their gallbladder removed, and said it helps in digestion. they were right, and now i take one before every meal, and have rarely had the digestive pain i had before, no side effects, and no taste or smell when taking them

The instructions on the bottle say to take one capsule a day with water…Although the supplement works very well, the instructions are nonsense and misleading.Because my system seems to produce little or no hydrochloric acid I have been taking HCL for many years now - as many as a dozen with a meal.You NEVER take HCL on an empty stomach for fear of doing damage to your stomach lining. You always take it with food and not until you have taken at least a couple of bites.How many capsules you are required to take depends on your individual needs. I may be an extreme case, but the clinic that originally got me started on these capsules told me that eight with a meal is not an uncommon number once you get older. Having said that many people get by with just a couple or three capsules. The only way you can figure out how many you need is to take one capsule and if it doesn’t irritate your stomach, you try two with the next meal, and keep going from there until you hit your sweet spot.Unfortunately, it is trial and error because different foods require different amounts of HCL. Wheat is my nemesis and there’s never any question of eating something like a steakOn a side note, it is amazing how many people get prescribed antacids when they complain of acid reflux. A large percentage of them are very likely to have the opposite problem - low acid. This is probably because they do not have enough acid to digest the meal therefore it seems to just sit there and come back into their throat.But does the medical profession ever even CONSIDER low acid? Of course not! My son was diagnosed with too much acid however, he did try one tablet with a meal which made his stomach burn pretty badly, so he genuinely hd too much acid in his system.If you ever find that you have taken too many tablets and your stomach is either burning or hurting. All you have to do is take a few sips of whole milk. Problem solved.

Helps with heartburn. But have to take at least right now two before a meal. Price is good. Definitely make sure to take them during the meal if before don't wait to long to eat. They will start heartburn. So at this rate four a day that is about two months Worth but still good at the current price. As for carrageenan there isn't any at least on my label can't say what is inside the bottle don't have a lab. And I'm not a lab technician lol. The date is good on the bottle. They do smell funny. But most supplements do. My ageless male smells like maple syrup haha. Haven't gotten sick like on person on here says he did say least not yet anyway and I've been using them for five days now. As far as I can tell they do what they say they are supposed to do just have to do a little experienmenting. May get another bottle or may change in a few months to another brand that I saw that has 1in 15000 pepsin which is my understanding is pure where this brand is diluted 1in 10000 but they give you more milligram of pepsin which is probably about the same amount anyway given the other brand is only 48 milligrams and this brand is 140 milligrams so rather its diluted or not it probably balances out to be about the same amount of pepsin any way I recommend it to anyone that wants help with their acid reflux.

I've had a cough for years and tried everything. Finally, I found a doctor (chiropractor) who told me to take this. It was days before I noticed I hadn't coughed! My family was sick of me coughing and my friends too. But only my family would tell me. I was sick of it too. If you're coughing too, you need MORE acid, not less. Betaine with pepsin gives you that. I was told not to take Betaine without pepsin. When I found this one, I knew it was right and would work. And it has. I'm very relieved and thank the makers of this product.
