Provides HCl as betaine hydrochloride and pepsin

Pepsin hydrolyses all types of proteins, reducing them to polypeptides

HCl provides the optimal environment (around pH 2) for pepsin activity

Adequate levels of HCl are required for the absorption of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc

HCl provides an inhibitory environment for potential pathogenic bacteria ingested with food

Encapsulation allows for a quicker release of the ingredients and reduces the likelihood of gastric wall irritation that can sometimes occur with tablets

Low potency and allows for more flexibility in adjusting individual requirements
