Digestive support, Protein digestion, Stomach acid support
Adults who eat protein-rich meals and want digestive support or those with busy schedules seeking enzyme-focused support at mealtime.
Adults take 2 tablets with each protein-containing meal, up to 3 times daily; take only with food to reduce potential stomach discomfort from acid and enzymes.
Certified Gluten-Free; No yeast or wheat; No soy or salt; No artificial colors or sweeteners; Manufactured in a GMP registered facility; Recyclable packaging.
Provides a source of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which may support protein breakdown and normal gastric acidity for digestion.
Caution: Avoid if you have ulcers or acid-sensitive stomach conditions because added acidity may cause irritation or discomfort.
Pepsin is a protein-digesting enzyme that helps break proteins into smaller peptides in the acidic environment of the stomach.
Caution: Use with meals as enzymes may cause stomach discomfort if taken without food.
Papain is a proteolytic enzyme from papaya that helps cleave dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Caution: People with papaya or latex sensitivities should be cautious due to potential cross-reactivity.
Provides calcium ions that play structural and signaling roles in the body and may slightly buffer stomach acidity.
Caution: Take with food to improve tolerance; high intakes may interact with certain minerals and medications.
Supplies chloride ions, an essential electrolyte that is a component of gastric hydrochloric acid and supports fluid balance.
Caution: Those limiting sodium for dietary reasons should note overall electrolyte balance, even though this form is not sodium chloride.
Betaine hydrochloride increases gastric acidity while pepsin and papain provide proteolytic activity, working together to support protein digestion. Chloride contributes to gastric acid composition, and calcium carbonate adds a small buffering effect that may influence comfort.
Label Warning: Not for use by pregnant or nursing women, or by individuals with stomach acid conditions, including ulcers. If you are diabetic, hypoglycemic, taking medication, have a medical condition, or planning surgery, consult a doctor before use. Stop use and consult a doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People with stomach or duodenal ulcers, gastritis, reflux, or other high stomach acid concerns may need caution. Those with pineapple or papaya sensitivities should be aware this product includes pineapple juice powder and papain. If you take medications regularly or manage blood sugar concerns, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
