About this item
Highlights

- Vegetarian Formula
Description
NOW Betaine HCl is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach.* Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes.* Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods.* HCl production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help to maintain normal digestive function.* This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin.

Noticeable and Substantial Improvement

Over the years, I have used digestive enzymes without really noticing much of an improvement in my digestion. NOW Betaine HCI is the only digestive supplement that I've ever tried that works for me.
Shouldn't have "Fixed" what wasn't broken.

Not the same as it once was. Used to be made in a non vegetarian way and they actually worked. Will find another digestive enzyme.

When my sinus drainage is severe (upsets my stomach digestive process), I have found this product quite effective.
Great for after prolonged fasting.

A few times a year I fast for about 3 days. When I would break my fast and have type of food, even some broth or something light I would get really bloated and nauseous. When you fast your stomach doesn’t produce as much acid and it can be hard to digest food. Now I just have a betaine HCI and I don’t get an upset stomach.
Does help with my indigestion.

I am so glad I tried this brand.... I had been using the Swanson’s HCL which was okay, but not quite powerful enough for my needs~ this Now brand however is some strong stuff!!! It works great, and I use the Swanson HCL when I need just a *little* bit more betaine/ hydrochloric acid, but don’t want to take 2 of the Now’s, as that would be too much.... feeling better than I have in ages!!!! So much ENERGY!

There are less expensive Betaine HCL supplements. I like this one because the quality, potency, and value exceed all the others.

These capsules smell like cat urine and taste the same. It is one of the worst products I have ever used, and I am a frequent supplement buyer. I generally like Now products, but this one is so bad that I have to return it.

For several years I took this supplement in tablet form from a different vitamin company and recently switched to this capsule form from NOW Vitamins. I find the capsule form much more reliable and fast-acting -- and I'm a big fan of NOW Vitamins.

I use for age related decline in stomach acid. 3 with a large meal create a warm glow in the stomach and better digestion of nutrients. Dose depends on need.

I take this anytime I plan to have a protein laden meal-- as I don't handle digesting protein very well. No after meal discomfort when I do.

I don't know why but, although it should have been good for me, I had severe stomach burns and upsets. Although this might be good for others, it was not for me.

I never realized how helpful taking a digestive enzyme could be until I started taking this one. And it's the best price at Swanson's then anywhere else I have found it.
