Swanson Hydrochloric Acid with Pepsin, 250 Capsules

Works like a charm. Definitely purchase!

I have suffered through 10 years of heartburn. I would eat, burp, and burn. The docs kept putting me on proton pump inhibitors which kept the heartburn away while I was on them. However, while I was on them my stomach didn't feel good in many different ways. I started taking one tablet of this with meals. The first day my stomach felt a little warm when I took them, but not painful and no heart burn. (and yes I had the tums on stand-by just in case.) I can now say that I am three days with no heartburn, no tums, no pump inhibitors. I can eat pain free for the first time in a decade.

This is a helpful product for many people however it was a little too strong for my needs - which is just a sometimes sluggish digestion. I would take 1 capsule of these with a meal (containing meat) and sometimes if I didn't drink plenty of water with it OR if I took it too close to bedtime, I would wake up with a slightly nauseous stomach (not fun at 2am.) This product contains 325 mg of Betaine HCL per capsule, along with Pepsin. Hydrochloric Acid is actually a component of our gastric juices but as we age or take certain meds or whatever, our body doesn't make it sufficiently so then we can get a digestive situation where we might burp a lot or get acid reflux or a full feeling after eating very little. I think a little Hydrochloric Acid can help with this but we need to find our own personal optimal dosage. In the past I've taken a Swanson product called Digestive Enzymes which contained only 5 mg of Betaine HCL and that never gave me problems, so I'll most likely return to that. There's also a really popular enzyme product by NOW called Super Enzymes and that contains 200 mg of Betaine HCL which I've taken successfully. I'm not sure why I decided to up the dosage but I now know 325 mg is too much for my own needs.

Gentle. I only take one when I have included meat or cheese in a meal because I am on protein pump inhibitors. I never have stomach pain from it

Have to say, I really didn’t think this would work. Only ordered it to appease husband. THANK GOODNESS! This works soooo soooo great! Took a day or three of using. Will not be without this because it works so good!!

This product made my heartburn worse. I had to go back to omeprazol to control my gerd.

This really works wonders. I took it daily for a few months, started with 1 then and it didn't do anything so I went on to 3 I believe then brought it down to 2 and then to 1. I have not taken the pills now in months and the heartburn was completely gone for months. It seems it's slowly coming back but not to the point where I have to take the pills again. I don't take the Omeprazole which has terrible side effects and I gave this a try when I read an article that states new studies have found heartburn is due to lack of acid in your stomach as opposed to what the Dr's tell you that it's excess acid and the article referenced hydrochloric acid and of course I bought it to give it a try and low and behold that was the solution. SO VERY thankful for this item. Highly recommend. I have heaving heartburn day and night and it was terrible. Now I have no issues.

Recomiendo estas pastillas por si tienen alguna acidez son perfectas para el reflujo y para las personas que sufren para ir al baño me ayudado un montón gracias
