The healthy stomach normally secretes adequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and pepsin for the complete digestion of foods, in particular proteins.

Many factors can disrupt acid production, such as:

• infections (even something as simple as a cold)

• surgery

• stress or trauma

• fever

• candidiasis

• spicy foods

• foods eaten too hot or too cold

• certain drugs

Features of BioCare HCl & Pepsin

• Provides HCl as betaine hydrochloride and pepsin

• Pepsin hydrolyses all types of proteins, reducing them to polypeptides

• HCl provides the optimal environment (around pH2 for pepsin activity

• Adequate levels of HCl are required for the absorption of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc

• HCl provides an inhibitory environment for potential pathogenic bacteria ingested with food

• Encapsulation allows for a quicker release of the ingredients and reduces the likelihood of gastric wall irritation that can sometimes occur with tablets

• Low potency and allows for more flexibility in adjusting individual requirements
