Betaine HCI Pepsin & Gentian Bitters, Digestive Enzymes for Protein Breakdown & Absorption, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, 360 Count (Pack of 1)

It is good. I basically use it twice a day with breakfast and lunch, but if I eat a big meal for dinner, I take additional capsule. It helps with digestion. I recommend it.

Amazing product. I am suffering from Acid Reflux due to lack of stomach acid production. These pills have been a boon for me. I do have to take more pills like 4-5 tablets before each meal. That's expensive as the product with 120 capsules doesn't last a month for me. Overall a very potent product.

very effective preparation but is extremely costly for we indians.we suggest you to make it more cost effective

Effective

To say that this product has changed my life would be the understatement of the century! After several years of health issues, I was diagnosed with a 4.5 cm ovarian cyst. Since then, my already poor digestion has gotten exponentially worse by the day and so has the pain and other symptoms I was experiencing- acid reflux/heartburn, bloating, deep pelvic and lower back aching, fatigue, exhaustion, low energy, anxiety, depression, insomnia, having to pee 8-10 times a night, constipation, crazy menstrual cycles that would sometimes last a month, I couldn’t stand up for two minutes without having to sit because my body hurt so bad… I was associating all of these things with my ovarian cyst and so were my doctors… I honestly didn’t think I would make it through until my surgery that was scheduled to take place in a month… Well, one day while awaiting my surgery, I randomly happened upon this product through my mom who had, against her doctor’s advice, just started taking it for her acid reflux/GERD. Out of desperation I swallowed one capsule when my heartburn was flaring up. Low and behold, my heartburn completely subsided in under 2 minutes… And thus begun my journey of research and self healing. Among many other things that I learned was the fact that vegetarians almost always have low stomach acid- I’ve been a vegetarian for 28 years. Turns out that if you have low stomach acid, which I clearly did, the sphincter in your esophagus stays open and you will experience acid reflux… however, more importantly, you should know that you cannot break down or digest your food either and therefore you cannot absorb the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients in ANYTHING you are ingesting- not only food but vitamins, minerals, and any herbal supplements as well. The longer this goes on for the more malnourished you will get. Then, the white coats tell you to take antacids to relieve your acid reflux, which is the complete OPPOSITE of what you need and hardly even a bandaid on the situation. Antacids, while they temporarily relieve your symptoms, will only further reduce your stomach acid and thus exasperate your digestion, your health will go into a downward spiral. Not only can low stomach acid lead to physical illness but mental illness as well, i.e. depression and anxiety, both of which I believe are your body trying to signal you that something is wrong and you aren’t getting the nutrients you need! A week ago I ordered some for my little sister who has suffered from debilitating fibromyalgia for over a decade, gone to numerous doctors, specialists, had every test under the sun, and never gotten a single answer or even any temporary relief. Her symptoms have continued to worsen and her health, both physical and mental, have declined as well. She has been taking HCL now for a week and already getting significant relief. I will update this review when more time has passed but judging by how much she has already improved I expect her to make a fully recovery. If you are suffering from any of the symptoms or health issues mentioned, I advise you to do your own independent research because, as was exemplified the past two years (and longer), the white coats can’t be trusted!
