Betaine hydrochloride is also known as hydrochloric acid (HCL) or stomach acid. It helps digest food by breaking up fats and proteins. The low pH of the stomach's hydrochloric acid also destroys ingested bacteria and other microorganisms. Adequate levels of HCL are necessary for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron.

Assists the body’s natural stomach acids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, especially protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, B-12*

Healthy stomach acid is needed for a healthy digestive tract. If you have low stomach acid, even the best food cannot be properly digested. If you are unable to absorb nutrients properly, this can lead to terrible health problems. Healthy stomach acid helps kill disease-causing microbes and parasites routinely found in the food you eat. If you have low stomach acid, these infecting invaders may not be destroyed by your stomach's acid bath. They can then cause many types of infections. Now you can see why low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) is associated with so many common health problems. If these infections are not cleared, over time they can cause many symptoms, paving the way for full-blown disease.

Low stomach acid can also cause indigestion. Believe it or not, too little stomach acid is the most common cause of an acid stomach, not excess acid. Some people take antacids to relieve the uncomfortable acid feeling in their stomachs (common after eating high protein or high fat meals). But the vast majority of those with an "acid stomach" suffer from not enough acid. They simply can't digest what they've eaten. For some, an antacid may temporarily relieve a queasy stomach, but in the long run, regular use of antacids make the problem worse*.

We recommend taking our HCL Activator, Quantum 90Vcaps at the same time which is designed to accompany the HCL to liberate its well -known detox capacity to promote efficiency of the entire immune system and it extensive role in whole body health. The two of these products combined is known as the HCL Detox Kit. Here is what Dr. Bob Marshall says about the Hcl Kit.

“Whether you have ongoing immune concerns or just want a much higher level of great health, I’m an ardent supporter of the HCL Detox Kit. Just as the insightful medical doctors wrote about in the 1930s, I also have found that HCL, when combined with HCL syner­gistic activators, acts as an amazing cleanser of the body’s blood and GI tract – not harming any of your own beneficial flora but targeting and relentlessly cleansing mucus membranes and other factors. That’s why I routinely use the HCL Detox Kit in my practice.
Welcome to the HCL Kit – and its impressive health benefits.* Try it – you’ll like it – no, I think you’ll love it.”
