The body does manufacture its own protein digesting enzymes, but we also need to obtain them from food. It is suggested that as we age the body’s ability to produce enzymes decrease. Symptoms of inability to digest protein include feeling bloated, and bad breath due to poorly digested protein.
Protein digestive aid contains betaine hydrochloride to supplement digestive hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin to supplement the body’s own protein digestive function.
Therapeutic Use
Each tablet contains 325mg of betaine hydrochloride, supplying dilute hydrochloric acid to supplement normal body secretion, and 65mg of pepsin (Activity 0.5Ph. Eur. U./mg), a natural protein digesting enzyme. This may assist in digestion and ease bad breath associated with indigestion.
