Active Ingredients & Science
Betaine HCl (650mg per dose) is a natural compound found in the body that plays an important role in the digestive process. Betaine is an amino acid derivative that helps maintain an optimal stomach environment. The hydrochloride (HCl) form makes the ingredient particularly effective for digestive support. Betaine works by supporting the stomach's natural functions and contributes to an environment suitable for optimal digestion. This form of betaine is well absorbed by the body and has been used in traditional health practices for many years. Scientific studies have shown that betaine plays a role in several metabolic processes, and its inclusion in this formula is based on long-term experience and traditional use in natural health care.
Pepsin (250,000 FCC Pepsin Units per dose) is an enzyme naturally produced in the stomach and is crucial for protein breakdown. Pepsin is one of the key components in this formula as it directly contributes to digestive efficiency. FCC units (Food Chemicals Codex) are a standardized measurement ensuring you receive a consistent and reliable amount of enzyme activity in each capsule. Pepsin works optimally in an acidic environment, which is why it is combined with betaine HCl in this formula. The enzyme breaks down protein molecules into smaller components that the body can more easily absorb and utilise. This is especially important when consuming larger amounts of protein or when digestion requires extra support.
Gentian (Gentiana lutea) root extract (20mg per dose) is a traditional herb used for centuries to support digestive health. Gentian is known for its bitter taste, which can naturally stimulate the body's own digestive processes. The plant contains bioactive compounds that have been used in traditional medicine to support stomach function and overall digestive efficiency. Gentian is particularly valued for its ability to contribute to a balanced digestive environment. This herb has a long history of use in European natural health care and is known to be safe and well tolerated by most people. The combination of gentian with the other ingredients creates a synergistic effect that enhances the overall formula.
