As we age, stomach acid production can decline, leading to incomplete protein digestion, nutrient malabsorption, and occasional bloating or gas. Betaine HCL supplementation helps restore a healthy stomach pH to support complete digestion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I open the capsule and mix it with food or water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No — do not open, crush, or chew the capsules. Betaine HCL is highly acidic and can cause irritation or damage to the mouth, throat, and esophagus if it contacts these tissues directly. Always swallow capsules whole with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this safe if I have a peptic ulcer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No — Thorne Betaine HCL \u0026amp; Pepsin is \u003cstrong\u003econtraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcers\u003c\/strong\u003e.
