Review: Helps with digestion immensely. Very noticeable difference. - I should have ordered more. I went about 3-4 weeks without it and pad the price. I have an HPylori overgrowth and need this to support my digestive system while trying to heal my gut. Thank you for a great product.
Review: Good combo of ingredients and works well - Good concentration of HCL with buffers. Taken 20-30 min before food works exceptionally well. Must have a good 20+ minute head start to prepare stomach to receive food and help breakdown and digest. It leaves terrible heartburn without adequate lead time to dissolve capsule ahead of food.

## Features

- Most Bioavailable Pepsin: Pepsin is a powerful protein breakdown enzyme in the stomach that is only activated at proper acid pH levels. Ours is pork based which means it may be 40% stronger than beef pepsin.
- Includes Intrinsic Factor: Needed to protect vitamin B12 and allow it to be absorbed in the lower part of the small intestine. While it’s a normal part of stomach juices, it can be depleted in low acid situations causing B12 malabsorption issues.
- Powerful Motility Support: We include a generous amount of organic ginger powder, which is traditionally known to support the stomach, but in recent research it’s shown to help the lower stomach to produce stronger peristalsis waves.
- Powerful Acid Support: Our hydrochloric acid supplement includes 550mg of betaine hydrochloride which is the main component of stomach acid and has been shown in research studies to restore proper acid levels. Also includes Asian Stomach Soothing Herb: DGL is a special form of licorice root that doesn’t raise blood pressure that is used to heal digestive cells and your stomach’s lining.
- No GMO’s, Gluten-Free, Zero Major Allergens, No Fillers, No Flow Agents, No Junk: Rest easy knowing we use no added fillers or junk into our capsules. Nothing here but powerful ingredients to support your body.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps with digestion immensely. Very noticeable difference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good combo of ingredients and works well
*by J***M on August 22, 2025*

Good concentration of HCL with buffers. Taken 20-30 min before food works exceptionally well. Must have a good 20+ minute head start to prepare stomach to receive food and help breakdown and digest. It leaves terrible heartburn without adequate lead time to dissolve capsule ahead of food.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want to reduce bloating this is it
*by D***D on October 23, 2022*

I always see people talking about bloating and gas and no one understands why. And while most people are taking tums, they're doing the wrong thing for their gut and digestion. When you digest food, your first line of defense is your stomach acid. If your stomach acid is not enough, you will not break down the food and on digested food will go into your gut and ferment, which is the gas effect. So essentially if you take this product the sibo you think you have is usually just not enough stomach acid and if you take this with enzymes you will reduce all the bad effects of non-digestion that in most of the population has. I take two of these with every meal and I take it with two holozymes and I have had such an improvement in gut health it's astounding. This is the biggest thing you can do for repairing leaky gut.
