Medverita Betain + Pepsin 120 capsules

Dietary supplement Medverita Betain + Pepsin 120 capsules is a product containing betaine HCL and pepsin, which are ingredients that facilitate the digestion process in the form of convenient capsules. It does not contain additional preservatives or fillers.

Food digestion involves breaking down large food particles into smaller, absorbable nutrients necessary for energy production, growth, and cell repair. Mechanical digestion is the physical degradation of large food particles into smaller pieces, which digestive enzymes access through chemical digestion. Chemical digestion involves enzymatic breaking down of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into small amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids.

Betaine is a compound similar to glycine, containing three methyl groups. Its other name is trimethylglycine. Its function is in homocysteine metabolism. Excess homocysteine in the blood is associated with an increased risk of many diseases.

Pepsin is an enzyme – an endopeptidase that breaks down dietary proteins reaching the stomach into individual amino acids. It works by digesting peptide bonds, the dominant chemical bonds found in proteins. Physiologically, it exists in an inactive form – pepsinogen. Low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsinogen, converting it into pepsin. [1]

In summary, Medverita Betain + Pepsin 120 capsules is a dietary supplement containing a complex of betaine and pepsin. The product does not contain unnecessary synthetic fillers or preservatives.
