NOW Betaine HCl 648 mg with Protease, 120 Veg Capsules

NOW Betaine HCl 648 mg with Protease is a meal-time digestive support supplement designed to help maintain proper digestive conditions in the stomach. Each vegetarian capsule provides 648 mg of betaine hydrochloride, and a two-capsule serving supplies 1,296 mg of Betaine HCl plus 300 mg of acid-stable protease to support the normal digestion of dietary protein.

Hydrochloric acid is naturally produced in the stomach and plays an important role in activating the enzymes involved in protein digestion. This formula uses a fungal protease derived from Aspergillus niger, offering activity comparable to animal-derived pepsin while remaining suitable for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
