Betaine (trimethylglycine) is a key human nutrient present in most tissues and is endogenously synthesized from choline in the liver and kidney.* Betaine plays several important biological roles including its role as an osmoprotectant, methyl group donor, reducing plasma homocysteine levels and improving inflammation and oxidative stress.* Emerging evidence suggests its potential therapeutic application for alleviating fat accumulation in the liver and the associated liver injury.*
Hypochlorhydria is common in several medical conditions including Helicobacter pylori infection and prevalent in geriatric population suffering from atrophic gastritis.* Hypochlorhydria can also result due to repeated usage of acid-reducing pharmacological agents.* A hydrochloric acid (HCl) supplement such as betaine HCl is very useful in this scenario, where free HCl is produced by dissociation once it reaches the stomach.* HCl-Pepsin SAP delivers an optimal combination of betaine HCl and pepsin that can help support digestion and improve liver function.*
