Directions for use
- Adults: 1–4 capsules during protein-rich meals. Start with 1 capsule and increase gradually by 1 capsule, monitoring your body’s response for 15 minutes after finishing the meal. A warming sensation in the throat or chest, or mild discomfort or heaviness in the upper abdominal area, indicates that the optimal dose has been exceeded; the previous amount before these sensations is sufficient to ensure the necessary gastric juice levels.
Warnings
- Do not take with low-protein meals. Do not exceed 4 capsules per meal. Not recommended for individuals with hyperacidity or a history of ulcers or chronic gastritis. Individuals with gastrointestinal symptoms (heartburn, acid reflux) should consult a physician before taking Betaine HCl.
- Avoid if using NSAIDs, cortisone, or medications that may cause peptic ulcers. Discontinue Betaine HCl immediately if gastric burning occurs.
Storage conditions
- Keep in the original packaging, tightly closed, in a dry place, away from light and heat.
- Best consumed before the expiration date printed on the packaging (see Exp and Lot on the cap).

Fight gastric hypoacidity with Betaine HCL & Pepsin! Supports optimal digestion and provides antioxidant action
Betaine HCL & Pepsin is a dietary supplement recommended for combating gastric hypoacidity and supporting digestion. The product is a source of hydrochloric acid and pepsin, contributing to healthy digestion by regulating gastric acidity and gastrointestinal motility. It supports protein digestion, mineral and nutrient absorption, and helps maintain normal homocysteine levels.
Normally, the stomach produces hydrochloric acid, which plays a key role in breaking down food and destroying pathogenic bacteria ingested with meals. However, as we age, the stomach produces less hydrochloric acid, making supplementation sometimes necessary.
Betaine HCL & Pepsin is recommended as a source of hydrochloric acid and pepsin for individuals with hypochlorhydria (gastric acid deficiency), those with unbalanced diets, people under stress or experiencing prolonged dehydration, as well as menopausal women and older adults.
How does Betaine HCL & Pepsin from Zenyth help you?
- Supports optimal digestion.
- Combats gastric hypoacidity.
- Promotes protein digestion, mineral absorption, and the uptake of other nutrients essential for the body.
- Helps maintain normal homocysteine levels.
- May protect cardiovascular health thanks to its antioxidant properties.
- Supports the immune system.
Betaine, the amino acid beneficial for your digestion
Betaine hydrochloride can serve as a source of hydrochloric acid for individuals with low gastric acid production (hypochlorhydria).
Betaine is an amino acid with potential benefits in supporting cardiovascular health, while also promoting protein synthesis in the body to aid muscle growth and fat loss.
Betaine is a naturally occurring amino acid compound, also known as trimethylglycine (TMG). It consists of the amino acid glycine attached to three methyl groups. Like certain B vitamins, including folic acid and vitamin B12, betaine is considered a “methyl donor.” Therefore, betaine supports healthy liver function, detoxification, and overall cellular function in the body.
Why do we need hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a natural component of the gastric acid in the stomach. It is secreted by stomach cells and plays several important roles in protecting the body against infections. Gastric fluids help break down the foods we eat so that nutrients can be absorbed and waste products eliminated.
The most important role of gastric acid is to aid in the breakdown of ingested food.
Gastric acid levels must be maintained within an optimal range: too high concentrations can lead to gastric ulcers and other digestive problems, while too low levels of gastric acid can cause difficulties in protein digestion and proper nutrient absorption. Optimal stomach acid production supports the rest of the digestive process, including the production of pancreatic enzymes. Therefore, maintaining the right balance of gastric acidity is essential for overall digestive health.
How to recognize hypochlorhydria?
Hypochlorhydria is a condition characterized by insufficient production of gastric acid in the stomach. People with hypochlorhydria may experience symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, and difficulty absorbing essential nutrients. This can lead to poor digestion, malnutrition, and sometimes excessive bacterial growth. Betaine HCL & Pepsin can help restore the stomach’s acid balance and reduce the associated symptoms.
ATTENTION! About 50% of so-called cases of HYPERACIDITY are actually cases of HYPOCHLORHYDRIA.
The symptoms of hyperacidity are often mistaken for those of hypochlorhydria. Many people take antacids to combat supposed hyperacidity, while in reality, they are suffering from low stomach acid.
Gastroesophageal reflux can also occur due to hypochlorhydria. Studies suggest that 1 in 3 people with acid reflux actually has low stomach acid.
In such cases, taking antacids is completely counterproductive.
Betaine HCL & Pepsin: Useful in Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s
Hypothyroidism is often associated with hypochlorhydria, meaning a reduced ability of stomach cells to secrete gastric acid. The result? Many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis experience slow digestion, bloating, gastroesophageal reflux, and constipation. In many cases, these issues are attributed to anything but the thyroid…
Additionally, nutrient absorption decreases due to low stomach acid, and individuals with thyroid problems often have deficiencies in iron, vitamin B12, and vitamin D.
How do betaine and pepsin help patients with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s? The Betaine HCL & Pepsin supplement helps regulate digestion. Once you start taking betaine and pepsin, and protein digestion is functioning properly, other benefits occur as well:
- The body uses less energy for digestion (remember, digestion is one of the largest energy consumers), leaving more energy available for daily activities.
- Amino acids from proteins become bioavailable, supporting neurotransmitter production and energy metabolism.
- You feel better after meals and are less likely to experience post-meal cravings once digestion is efficient.
Betaine HCL & Pepsin is a food supplement.
