Betaine & Pepsin – Gastric Acid & Protein Digestion Support

Supports Healthy Stomach pH and Optimal Nutrient Absorption


Product Overview

Betaine & Pepsin by Ortho Molecular Products delivers two essential components for healthy digestion: hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the digestive enzyme pepsin. Adequate stomach acidity is critical for protein breakdown, vitamin and mineral absorption, and maintaining a balanced gastric microbiome.

Contrary to popular belief, many cases of indigestion are due to low stomach acid rather than excess. Insufficient HCl can lead to impaired protein digestion, reduced nutrient availability, and unwanted shifts in gut flora. Betaine & Pepsin helps restore optimal gastric pH, enhancing digestive efficiency and supporting overall gastrointestinal health.
