| Betaine HCL (Hydrochloric Acid) |
Twinlab Betaine HCl caps contain
powdered Betaine HCl with pepsin in
gelatin capsules for quick acting and
enhanced effectiveness. They are well
tolerated by most highly allergic
individuals.
This is meant to be taken with food,
since its purpose is to free B12 and other
nutrients from the food. If your primary
interest is taking it to increase the
amount of B12 you get, then you do not
need to take it when you are eating
carbohydrates.

When I was making this Hydrochloric Acid page, it made me happy
to read that, "It often relieves the symptoms of heartburn, and
improves digestion in people with hypochlorhydria (low stomach
acid)."
I was happy because that was my experience. Although I rarely
have heartburn, when I did have it and would take hydrochloric
acid, the heartburn would immediately abate. It seemed strange
since the usual "cure" for heartburn is removing acid. However, I
know that taking hydrochloric acid removed my heartburn.

Studies indicate trimethylglycine
(TMG)(betaine HCl), will promote healthy
homocysteine levels, which lower risk of
stroke, heart attack and dementia. It is also
known to improve liver function.
Because Betaine HCl can irritate the
stomach lining, if you have a burning
sensation, betaine HCl should be
discontinued. (My impression is that this is
rare, but serious. I was scared the first few
times I took Hydrochloric Acid, but I
never had a problem. On the contrary, it
did a lot of good.)
Warning: People with a history of peptic
ulcers, gastritis, heartburn or other
gastrointestinal symptoms should see a
physician before taking betaine HCl.
People taking medications that may cause
a peptic ulcer should not take betaine HCl.

I just read that people with adequate stomach acid and those who
take hydrochloric acid reduce the possibility of h.pylori taking up
residence in their stomachs. h.pylori causes low B12. So, if you
don't have a reason not to take hydrocholoric acid, it could be very
useful. I can't put a credit here for the research because I had a lot
of pages open that it had taken me a long time to find, and my
computer shut down... I'm having some trouble with it right now.
I remember once decades ago having a really good book on
nutrition that ended with the author saying that if she were allowed
only a limited number of supplements, she would for sure include
hydrochloric acid among them.

Natural Approach: licorice, glutamine, and gentian acupuncture and sometimes stimulation of nerves to the stomach through chiropractic will help. |
| Symptoms of Low stomach acid: stomach bloating burping upset stomach burning flatulence diarrhea nausea from supplements rectal itching weak, peeling/cracked fingernails dilated capillaries in cheeks/nose (in non- alcoholics) post adolescent Acne iron deficiency other mineral deficiencies chronic intestinal infections undigested food in stool lines on your fingernails If you have symptoms of hypochlorhydria, but also have peptic ulcers or gastritis, or are taking NSAIDS, use methylcobalamin to lower your homocysteine and enhance your nerve and cardiovascular health. In my experience, the Betaine with pepsin works fine, and isn't irritating. |

Low magnesium can cause
pins and needles. If you have
pins and needles, hydrochloric
acid taken with foods containing
magnesium will help you get the
magnesium you need. If you
have kidney problems, then you
shouldn't take magnesium.
Hydrochloric acid is needed to
release magnesium from food.
