Supports digestive power and absorption of nutrients, detoxification, and vibrant stomach function

Premier Digestive and Detoxification Support | Betaine Hydrochloride. This formula contains 100% natural-source betaine hydrochloride, created to assist the body’s natural stomach acids in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, especially protein, vitamin B12, calcium, iron and other minerals. As we age, we typically produce less hydrochloric acid (HCL) which reduces our ability to efficiently absorb nutrients from food. Reduced HCL production affects the amount of protein and calcium we can absorb and can interfere with bone metabolism. Incomplete protein metabolism can imbalance intestinal flora. Betaine hydrochloride promotes absorption of nutrients. Recommended to anyone over age of 40 to build up digestion and assimilate food better.

HCL - Hydrochloric Acid

So, the digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid, with age, people go lower. After the age of 45 people stop producing, slow down in their production of hydrochloric acid. At the age of 65, I think 80% of people are not producing hydrochloric acid. Well, what do you need hydrochloric acid for? Well, yeah, B12, folic acid, mineral absorption, iron absorption, calcium absorption, magnesium absorption. You need hydrochloric acid. Okay, that's one advantage.

The second thing is we need CH3 groups, okay, and you get that with hydrochloric acid. Methyl groups. And methyl groups are needed to repair the DNA in enzymes. Every cell has 90,000,000 methyl groups. Every cell. When we eat food, we lose about 18,000,000 methyl groups per meal. If you do live food you lose about 12,000,000 methyl groups per meal. And there we go. So, live food will cut it down by a third, but what we do, we have the betaine hydrochloride or the one we sell has all the natural methyl groups in beet and is vegan, it's how to get a vegan hydrochloric acid, you're replacing the methyl groups, and therefore regenerating your system. That's the key concept here.

So these are the two concepts. One, so you can absorb your protein, your B12, and folic acid and your minerals. And two, the use of methyl groups, you know, that that will rebuild and repair your DNA.

Digestive Enzymes

Now, the other thing is same thing. The digestive enzymes that we have, and there are many good ones out there, I use Beauty Enzymes a lot. Dr. Howell is also very good, the father of enzyme research.

When and How to take HCL and Digestive Enzymes:

And you take the hydrochloric acid and the digestive enzymes after a meal. The optimum time is an hour after a meal, but most people will never take it then. So if you are good enough to just remember to take it after your meal you're good. Every meal? Yes. - Every meal. - Yes. The bigger the meal the more enzymes you take, but the bottom line of what I'm saying is with age we lose digestive power. And you don't want to do that because you want to be able to assimilate your nutrients.

[Questions]

What about taking food acids like vinegar and lemon juice ?

Apple cider vinegar can indeed stimulate hydrochloric acid. The trouble is it makes your body acid. That's the down side of that. If I get too alkaline I'll take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and I'll bring my alkalinity back into order. But I don't recommend doing that because of the acidity problem. Talk about the quantity you put into your salad. I'm talking about a teaspoon to a tablespoon. And I'm telling you, it makes you acid. That's what I'm saying. Literally, when I'm fasting I'll go to a pH of 8 in my urine, and I'll take one tablespoon. That's it, resets the whole thing, and I'll get back to 6.4, 6.4 to 6.8 immediately. And it will stay there, you know. So what I am saying is those things, they have a role, but I don't recommend it so much because most people are too acidic to begin with, and it does make you acidic. Is it the same with lemon juice? Not so clear. Apple cider vinegar is much more acidic. It is acidic acid. PH of 2, I mean it's strong. Lemon juice... sometimes it's going to make you alkaline, sometimes it will make it acid It's really not the same level. But the hydrochloric acid you need to do these jobs, the apple cider vinegar has been known to stimulate hydrochloric acid. Magnesium chloride is another trick to build your hydrochloric acid as is salt. Good salt will bring chloride in for the HCL. Those are all things that help, but again at a certain age you're pushing the limit, and you're better off taking hydrochloric acid to get your kind of reliable results.

What age limit?

45 and up. But if you did eat salad, which is alkaline, and you put only a half tablespoon or half teaspoon, does it make such a big effect? Well in me it does, I'll tell you that. It's very powerful. It's much more than Paul Bragg kind of talks about. That's all I can say. You can check yourself, check your urine before and after, and see if it makes an effect. So what you're saying basically everyone, if you checked and found that it didn't have that much of a difference, for him personally it would be okay to take it? Right, right. But again, it's up to you. Getting acid, I mean, apple cider vinegar doesn't mean you're gonna make hydrochloric acid. We're just saying it helps stimulate it. And ultimately, how are you gonna know, if you get gas and bloating because you're not making it, you take hydrochloric acid and you are able to digest, and you don't get gas and bloating, that's how you know if it's working. So, otherwise it's just a theoretical discussion, okay?

Enzymes 

Last thing before we end, is again the other regular enzymes, I like Beauty Enzymes. It is a mix of protease, amylase, and lots and lots of lipase, which is good for fatty, you know, for fat digestion. Generally, the same principal, your digestive power goes down with age.

Overview
Betaine hydrochloride, the active compound in this supplement, plays a crucial role in supporting digestive processes by aiding in the breakdown of food components. Betaine hydrochloride functions as a source of hydrochloric acid (HCL) in the stomach, which is essential for the activation of pepsin, an enzyme responsible for protein digestion. By providing supplemental HCL, betaine hydrochloride enhances the body's ability to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, facilitating their absorption in the small intestine. The biochemical pathway involved in the action of betaine hydrochloride begins with its conversion into hydrochloric acid and trimethylglycine in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment necessary for the activation of pepsinogen to pepsin, which initiates the proteolytic digestion of dietary proteins. Additionally, betaine, a methyl donor, participates in the methylation cycle, contributing to various physiological processes, including detoxification and neurotransmitter synthesis. Scientific evidence supports the role of betaine hydrochloride in promoting efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, particularly in individuals with age-related decline in HCL production. Clinical studies have demonstrated that betaine supplementation can improve protein digestion and enhance the absorption of essential nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, and iron. By supporting optimal stomach function, betaine hydrochloride may help prevent nutrient deficiencies and promote overall health and vitality in aging populations. At a cellular level, betaine hydrochloride acts on the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa, stimulating the secretion of hydrochloric acid to maintain proper pH levels in the stomach. This mechanism of action enhances the solubilization of nutrients and facilitates their transport across the intestinal epithelium for systemic distribution. Moreover, betaine hydrochloride may modulate the gut microbiota by promoting the digestion of proteins, thereby preventing dysbiosis and supporting a healthy microbial balance in the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of nutrients is intricately linked to the efficiency of the digestive process, which can be optimized by betaine hydrochloride supplementation. By enhancing HCL levels, betaine hydrochloride improves the breakdown of macronutrients and micronutrients, increasing their bioavailability for absorption in the intestines. This enhanced bioavailability ensures that essential nutrients are effectively assimilated by the body, supporting overall health and well-being. Synergistically, betaine hydrochloride works in conjunction with the body's endogenous HCL to promote efficient digestion and nutrient absorption. The combined action of exogenous betaine hydrochloride and endogenous HCL optimizes the digestive process, ensuring that dietary proteins are adequately broken down and essential nutrients are effectively absorbed. This synergistic effect enhances the overall efficiency of nutrient utilization, supporting optimal health outcomes and promoting vibrant digestive function. In conclusion, betaine hydrochloride, as a natural-source supplement, offers targeted support for digestive power, nutrient absorption, and detoxification processes. By enhancing stomach acid levels and promoting efficient protein digestion, betaine hydrochloride facilitates the absorption of essential nutrients critical for overall health. Its molecular mechanisms of action, physiological interactions, and synergistic effects underscore its significance in promoting digestive wellness and supporting optimal nutrient assimilation.

Hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) is necessary for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12, iron, folic acid, and minerals in general. Because it helps calcium absorption, I regularly use it for reversing osteoporosis. The low pH of the stomach's hydrochloric acid not only breaks down nutrients like fats and proteins, but is also destroys ingested bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms. If you have deficient stomach acid even the best food cannot be properly digested, and when we are unable to absorb nutrients it can lead to a variety of health problems.

Many over the age of 40 and 50% of the people over age 60 have deficient stomach acid. By age 85, 80% have deficient stomach acid. Weak stomach acid can cause indigestion, and believe it or not, too little stomach acid is the common cause of an acid stomach, not excess acid. Many people use antacids to temporarily relieve a queasy stomach, but in the long run, regular use of antacids makes the problem worse. This vegan natural plant- source (beets) hydrochloric acid supplement is a must have for anyone who is trying to improve and maintain the best possible digestion and nutrient absorption. Efficient and complete digestion is critical to health and longevity, making this supplement invaluable. In addition, one of the most important aspects of Betaine HCL is its ability to replace methyl groups, which is important for DNA and enzyme repair. Each cell has 90 million methyl groups in reserve. We lose 18 million per cooked food meal and 12 million per live food meal. It primarily builds chi, as well as post-natal jing.

I recommend at least 2 capsules at the end of a meal for anyone over the age of 40.
