Free from lactose, gluten, and common allergens, it supports occasional indigestion and promotes optimal nutrient absorption. Manufactured in the USA with rigorous four-stage testing, this supplement combines purity, potency, and sustainability for the health-conscious professional. ## Description Product description Betaine HCl & Pepsin promotes optimal stomach acidity, protein digestion, and enzyme activity.* It can provide benefit for occasional gastrointestinal discomfort.* Unique Formula Thorne's Betaine HCl & Pepsin is derived from a porcine source. Well-Researched Benefits Indigestion can be caused by many things – including inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl secretion in the stomach assists protein digestion, inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes.* Free of Additives This product is not diluted with lactose. Purest Ingredients There are no unnecessary fillers or additives in Thorne supplements. Thorne is committed to providing high-quality supplements that contain research-backed ingredients, in efficacious amounts, that retain the potency to meet label claims until the day of expiration. The gut isn’t just the stomach. The gut is the entire digestive tract and is a complex mix of organs, microbes, hormones, and enzymes. How this complex mix of organs interacts dictates how well you will absorb the foods you eat. So what happens or doesn’t happen in your gut will inevitably impact your daily lifestyle. Because the digestive tract delivers the nutrients we eat to our bodies, there are many steps we can take to make sure we reap the full reward from these nutrients in terms of absorption, especially if someone is prone to gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, or other distress after eating. Optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is vital to nutrient absorption, nutrient synthesis, the production of short-chain fatty acids for colon health, the elimination of waste, and proper immune function. An unhealthy diet, insufficient digestive enzymes, and taking various prescriptions can cause imbalances in the gut flora. That’s why supplementation is important, and it's is why Thorne offers well-researched, high-quality supplements that support a healthy gut. When the highest standards have been met, Thorne creates higher ones. Sourcing Exceptional Ingredients We develop better standards for higher quality ingredients. Thorne cares deeply about where our ingredients come from. We partner only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality, science, and responsibility. Better ingredients means better potency, absorption, and digestibility - and ultimately better health. Manufacturing the Right Way We produce our own products to ensure full supply chain transparency. For more than 30 years, we have invested in clean manufacturing practices. We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified. Four Rounds of Testing We run four rounds of testing for each of our products. We have invested in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories that allow us to conduct four rounds of testing, while most competitors test only one or two times. We test our raw materials, in-process batches, finish products, and product stability for each product. Thinking Sustainably We're thinking sustainably to protect our environment. We believe the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain. At Thorne, we believe that doing our part to protect the environment and its most valuable resources goes hand in hand with our product quality standards.
