SPECIAL NOTE:November 2009 - Message from Thorne on extended out of stock for this item: "Two years ago, the only manufacturer in the United States of betaine hydrochloride (betained HCI) closed their manufacturing facility for a complete plant overhaul and refitting. Thorne Research purchased this manufacturer's entire remaining stock of betaine HCI (several thousand kilos) n anticipation of Thorne's future manufacturing needs. Then this reserve began to run low, we attempted to find another quality manufacturer of betaine HCI; unfortunately, to no avail. There are no U.S. Prime manufacturers, only brokes of this raw material manufactured in China. While many raw materials are manufactured in China in ISO level plants to high quality standards, many raw materials are not." |

Hydrochloric acid secretion assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin, renders the stomach sterile against orally-ingested pathogens, prevents bacterial or fungal overgrowth in the small intestine, and encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Hydrochloric acid
also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients, including folate, vitamin B12, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, non-heme iron, and some forms of calcium, magnesium, and zinc. Numerous studies have shown acid secretion declines with advancing age. Impaired HCl production and
secretion are also associated with a number of clinical conditions, requiring long-term supplementation.
Hypochlorhydria and achlorhydria are conditions in which the production of hydrochloric acid in the digestive juices of the stomach is low or absent, respectively. Overuse of antacids can lead to hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), which can result in poor protein digestion and the potential for development of allergies. Thorne offers HCl (hydrochloric acid) and pure pepsin from a porcine source. Unlike many supplement companies, the pepsin utilized in Thorne’s product is pure, undiluted, and lactose-free.
