Product Description

NOW Betaine HCl is formulated to support proper digestive conditions in the stomach.* Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is normally produced in the stomach, where it assists protein digestion by activating pepsin, helps to maintain a healthy balance of gut flora, and stimulates the release of intestinal enzymes.* Pepsin is a protease produced in the stomach that partially breaks down proteins in foods.* HCl production tends to decline with age, so supplementing with HCl and pepsin may help to maintain normal digestive function.* This product uses a vegetarian acid-stable protease with activity equivalent to that of animal-derived pepsin. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Probably a user error, but this product gave me heartburn out of this world. I have heartburn right now just thinking about it lol To be fair, I took the pill immediately after eating instead of right before because I forgot. Now I'm worried to try again. I'm sure the product is fine but thought I would share my experience for others.
Thank you for your feedback
