Betaine Hydrochloride

DESCRIPTION
Betaine Hydrochloride (Absorption Support), provided by Blood Detective™ Nutritionals, is a powdered dietary supplement containing hydrochloric acid supplied in two-piece gelatin capsules.

FUNCTIONS
The breakdown of dietary protein begins in the stomach where gastric hydrochloric acid assumes an important role in protein digestion and other processes. Hydrochloric acid acts as a catalyst in the activation of pepsin from pepsinogen. Active pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme which splits large protein molecules into
smaller polypeptides. Additionally, hydrochloric acid acts directly on dietary proteins by loosening up their macromolecular structure (denaturing). Gastric hydrochloric acid also helps reduce poorly available trivalent ferric iron into more soluble and absorbable divalent ferrous iron.
Another physiological role of gastric hydrochloric acid is to protect the body from food-borne enteric infections through its antibacterial properties. HCL balance isneeded for ionization of calcium, zinc, magnesium B12 inflammation and pH balance.
