Product Information
What is Cytoplan Betaine & Pepsin good for?
Cytoplan Betaine & Pepsin is designed to support digestive function in those with low stomach acid. Each capsule provides 345mg of betaine hydrochloride, which helps create an acidic stomach environment, and 10mg of pepsin, a natural enzyme that aids protein digestion. Together, these ingredients help break down protein-rich foods and enhance nutrient absorption.
Low stomach acid is common with ageing, stress, poor diet, certain medications or digestive disorders. Symptoms can include bloating, fullness after meals and difficulty digesting protein. Betaine & Pepsin helps restore optimal stomach acidity, improving digestion and supporting the absorption of key nutrients like vitamin B12 and zinc. It also plays an important role in immune defence, as stomach acid is the first barrier against harmful pathogens.
Key Ingredients in Cytoplan Betaine & Pepsin
- Betaine Hydrochloride (345mg): Supports a healthy acidic environment for digestion and nutrient absorption
