Swanson Hydrochloric Acid w/Pepsin 250 Capsules

This really works wonders. I took it daily for a few months, started with 1 then and it didn't do anything so I went on to 3 I believe then brought it down to 2 and then to 1. I have not taken the pills now in months and the heartburn was completely gone for months. It seems it's slowly coming back but not to the point where I have to take the pills again. I don't take the Omeprazole which has terrible side effects and I gave this a try when I read an article that states new studies have found heartburn is due to lack of acid in your stomach as opposed to what the Dr's tell you that it's excess acid and the article referenced hydrochloric acid and of course I bought it to give it a try and low and behold that was the solution. SO VERY thankful for this item. Highly recommend. I have heaving heartburn day and night and it was terrible. Now I have no issues.

Recomiendo estas pastillas por si tienen alguna acidez son perfectas para el reflujo y para las personas que sufren para ir al baño me ayudado un montón gracias

Take in middle of high fat meal, leads to better digestion

This works great for fixing an upset stomach. Many naturopathic professionals say that heartburn or 'acid reflux', is caused by too little stomach acid, and taking antacids only make things worse. If you have heartburn, and take Hydrochloric Acid and your stomach feels better, then that is your problem, NOT too much acid. There is a way I was told by my doctor to do it to see: Start with taking one capsule after a meal, if no change then next time take two capsules after a meal. Increase each meal up to a maximum of five capsules. If at any point along the way your stomach feels more acidic, then you know you should take one less number of capsules for relieve of your heartburn after meals. I found one capsule is enough, my husband takes two capsules for relief. He doesn't take antacids anymore. Another thing that works real well if you need a quick stomach settling is to use Papaya Enzymes. The extra strength is fast acting.

I had been on the Keto diet for 4 months and lost 40 pounds. Unfortunately, I also lost a big patch of hair. My dermatologist said that can happen after a very rapid weight loss. It doesn't happen often but it did to me. A nutritional specialist suggested I start taking these tablets to stop the hair loss. I did and two days later the hair loss stopped. I was very happy. She told me to take them for at least a year. This is my second order. The dermatologist said my hair would grow back but it would take time. I love this ;product! No more hair loss!

This product made my heartburn worse. I had to go back to omeprazol to control my gerd.

I like that the dosage was only 300 mg and also that it didn't have pepsin. I have silent reflux and the pepsin was triggering my acid reflux.

I used to work for a nutritional scientist (Rheo Blair, amazing man) and his 4 most important supplements he always recommended to all was;Betain Pepsin HCL (hydrochloric acid) = to break down proteins and digest foodB complexCholineLiver tabletsYou definitely need to be able to digest your food, esp. proteins. HCL does that, with pepsin.For other foods you might try "papain" (made from pineapple) for digestive purposes. Recommend.
