Each capsule contains 200 mg Betaine HCl USP and 4 mg Pepsin USP in a vegetable capsule. Other Ingredients: Plant derived cellulose (capsule), magnesium stearate (vegetable). Nutrivene Betaine with Pepsin contains no yeast, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, egg, salt, sugar, preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors. People with abnormal gut flora almost without exception have low stomach acid production. Toxins produced by overgrowth of Candida species, Clostridia and other pathogens have a strong ability to reduce secretion of stomach acid. Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome, recommends that GAPS patients supplement with stomach acid. The most physiological preparation available is Betaine HCl with Pepsin. Individuals suffering with stomach and intestinal problems most frequently assume that heartburn, indigestion, gas, and reflux are caused by overproduction of stomach acid. This common misconception has been strongly reinforced by our conventional medical profession, whose practitioners routinely prescribe stomach acid blocking medications at the slightest sign of stomach dysfunction. Strangely enough, the symptoms of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid, HCl) over-production and under production are virtually identical.
