    Product Details

    • Provides hydrochloric acid to help maintain gastric pH
    • Promotes healthy digestion, especially protein
    • Supports overall nutrient absorption

    Problems with protein? We all need protein in our diets, but for some of us, it poses a special challenge to our digestive systems. Swanson Betaine HCl is a special formula that gives your stomach a little assistance to help it break down proteins more efficiently. It features VegPeptase™—a vegan-sourced pepsin—an enzyme that helps digest proteins, plus betaine hydrochloride to promote proper pH levels in the stomach. Together they make an excellent digestive team to help tackle protein problems.

    is this gluten, lactose, soy, yeast and corn free? (a picture of the other side of the bottle would be great!)

    Janel H. on Jan 27, 2023
    Best Answer: This product is not considered gluten, lactose, soy, yeast, or corn free. If a product is free from those allergens it would be clearly mentioned on the items page. You may scroll down the items description page to read the supplement facts. -Tiffany, staff

    where does the pepsin come from? Is it porcine?

    Katherine D. on Mar 23, 2021
    Best Answer: The pepsin is derived from pork.
    Tiffany-staff • Apr 01, 2021
    The pepsin is derived from pork.
    Tiffany-staff • Apr 01, 2021
    This pepsin is derived from plants not pork. It's rather sad that neither one of your read the product description, which clearly states this.

    Excellent HCI Hydrochloric Acid

    This HCI Hydrochloric Acid is a high quality product. I like the fact that these are 325 mg capsules instead of the common 500 mg capsules from other brands because I don't need that much acid with my meals. Thank you Swanson!

    helps with digestion

    I use Betaine as a digestion aid. Since I don't have a gall bladder I need all the help I can get. I like that it comes in a 250 cap bottle. I like that I can take before or after, whereas others u have to only take before.

    I seem to have low stomach acid, and this product helps with digestion, thus helping the gastrointestinal system to function better. I would recommend this product for this purpose.
