Earthborn Elements Betaine HCL, 200 Capsules, 560mg Serving, Potent, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Lab-d for Purity, No Filler or Additives, Made in USA

This is the best HCl I have tried. The price is good and no pepsin or fillers, just HCL In combination with a beet green supplement, it keeps my digestion working well. Will continue to buy.

Perfect. it works even if you think you don't need it, it helps a lot, better digestion, I take one or two before a meal, better with a meal, add some enzymes if you can afford it. After a month you might have replenish your natural HCL so you will know when you need it. Stress lowers acidity necessary for digestion. So far so good

I have been using this for a while. Has really helped with my digestion. I will continue to use it daily. I am over 7 decades old.

I like the fact that this product has only one ingredient, Betaine HCL. Most other formulations include pepsin. And if you only take one of them, that is fine. But if you are like me and take 2-4 of these with each meal, all that pepsin is way too much. If I take more than one pepsin-containing pill per day, soon my lips will start getting very chapped and that will persist until I take a day or two off of pepsin and any other digestive enzymes. So apparently, I have enough enzyme, I just need the extra acid. This works very well for my circumstance. By the way, after a couple of weeks of taking these with every meal, I found that I needed to take some bicarbonate about 2-3 hours after one meal each day to give my body the alkali it needs to balance out the extra acid intake. I make my own magnesium and calcium bicarbonate (you can find out how on the internet) as too much sodium bicarbonate does not sit well with me. Additionally, after about a month of this, I found that I need less of it each meal to get the same effect. Great!

After much research on very slow digestion, and I mean hours to digest a small meal, I found I could have low stomach hcl. I thought I would try these as the price was nice and if it didn't work I wouldn't be out too much as that was my experiences with other products in the past. Within the first day I could feel it. I took 2 the first meal and hadn't felt that warm feeling in my stomach like research had stated. I took another and then I felt the warmth. The first day it took about an hour for my food to digest. I stayed at 3 capsules for about a week, then went to 2 to see how my food digests and so far so good. I stayed at 2 for another week and now I am at 1 with every meal. It sure sucks getting older and the body slowing in all areas. I am grateful for products like these! I also lost 10 pounds with the help of the hcl and other supplements. I don't feel like a bloated whale anymore.
