Specifically, betaine HCl is an acidic form of betaine, which promotes optimal gastric lumen acidity  and  pepsin  is  a  protein-digesting  enzyme  that  catalyzes the  splitting  of  peptide bonds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUses For Betaine HCl Pepsin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHealthy Digestive Function: Betaine HCl and pepsin promote the solubilization of food particles and the healthy absorption and utilization of nutrients, including protein, calcium, vitamin B\u003cbr\u003e12, and iron. Contact with gastric juices causes protein and  polysaccharide  degradation,  allowing  them  to  become  more  accessible to the actions of the hydrolytic enzymes in the duodenum and jejunum. Furthermore, HCl contributes to the naturally acidic environment of the stomach necessary for healthy microbial balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePure Encapsulations Betaine HCl is synthetic.
