Betaine hydrochloride increases hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach to improve digestion, while fenugreek helps soothe and protect the stomach lining. Lack of stomach acid is more common with age and can be associated with a number of health problems. The combination of betaine HCl and fenugreek can help stimulate digestion and soothe the digestive tract.
HCl helps with protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin, helping to inactivate orally ingested pathogens, preventing bacterial or fungal overgrowth in the small intestine, encouraging the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes, and facilitating the absorption of several nutrients, including vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, calcium, iron, and magnesium. However, poor digestion can occur in the absence of adequate HCl, leading to bloating, belching, indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation. Numerous studies have shown that acid secretion declines with age and that deficient HCl production and secretion correlates with a variety of clinical conditions. Although the underlying etiological factors leading to impaired or absent HCl secretion are not well understood, long-term supplementation is generally safe and may be effective in certain patient populations and under certain clinical conditions. The combination of betaine hydrochloride and fenugreek further supports digestive function and health, as fenugreek seeds are an excellent source of mucilage, which can help relieve gastrointestinal inflammation by coating the lining of the stomach and intestine.
