Betaine Hydrochloride is a source of hydrochloric acid (HCl), the acid naturally present in the stomach. It is used as a food supplement by people who believe their stomach acid levels may be lower than optimal. Adequate stomach acid is needed for the digestion of protein and the absorption of certain nutrients including B12, iron and zinc.
-
No. Always take Betaine HCl with or immediately before a meal. Taking it on an empty stomach may cause burning, discomfort or irritation of the oesophagus and stomach lining. Never take this product without food.

If you are taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs such as omeprazole or lansoprazole), H2 blockers, antacids, NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or aspirin), or any other medication that affects stomach acid, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
