Description
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.
