Betaine & Pepsin provides two essential components of healthy digestion: hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the digestive enzyme, pepsin. Hydrochloric acid is vital for the proper digestion of protein and the absorption of vitamins and minerals (especially vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc). HCl also plays an important role in signaling the pancreas to release digestive enzymes. Pepsin is one of the first enzymes to initiate protein digestion and works in synergy with HCl to provide complete protein digestive support.
Taking Betaine with Pepsin after a meal with protein may help you better digest and absorb the protein in your diet. It can improve the digestion of food, leading to less bloating.
Burping and belching after meals is often a clue that you might have low stomach acid (achlorhydria).
If low stomach acid is your problem, correcting it with Betaine and Pepsin can make a significant difference in your absorption of proteins, leading to improved hair growth, stronger nails, and much more.
It can also help in treating and preventing Dysbiosis, SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth), Candida and SIFO (Small Intestine Fungal Overgrowth).
If you DO NOT experience any burning after taking it (after food), this means you NEED it and you are not making enough stomach acid on your own.
If you experience some burning after taking it (after food), this means you DON'T NEED it, and that you are making enough stomach acid on your own. You can reverse any burning by drinking a glass of water with 1/4 tsp baking soda.

I’ve suffered from aggressive histamine intolerance for years both food based and environmental and have taken Zyrtec daily and explored different elimination diets. In just a couple weeks of taking this histamine support supplement I stopped taking allergy medication and can eat foods seemingly without consequence that would’ve previously had me covered in rashes. My eyes and skin aren’t itchy, my red inflammation patches all over have gone away and I don’t react remotely close to how I did prior when I eat certain foods. It hasn’t been a cure-all miracle, I still need to be mindful but it’s as close as something can get and for being a simple compound of natural ingredients experience has been incredible.
Easily managed supplements which stopped the H pylori after 4 weeks. Two rounds of antibiotics did not work on October and November last year. Thanks for another alternative that worked!
This unique Berberine combination formula has proved helpful and effective to myself in seeking relief from an unhappy gut microbiome. Today i am grateful to report I am recovering from my constipation issues nicely. Thank you, Dr Rajsree.
Dr. Rajsree's experience, treatment, direction, and supplements corrected my digestive issues.
I have suffered on and off for the past 10 years. These probiotics, along with my other OC integrative medicine protocols fixed me.
I'm forever grateful to be a patient.
I want to thank Dr. Nambudripad along with her amazing staff, Alex and Alexis. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I track my sleep with aura ring. Since taking 3 capsules of Calm each night, I am now getting the deep sleep that was missing for far too long. I just ordered two more bottles so I don’t run out.
I noticed a huge difference in my health the first day I started taking this enzyme. I have tried others and nothing has helped my health like this one. When I run out for a few days, my health suffers. I love Dr. Rajsree's videos and have learned alot from her. She has helped me more than my own doctor's (they haven't helped at all - I just pay the fees and premiums). Thank you Dr. Rajsree for your compassion and using your gift to help others.
I tackled my SIBO effectively by combining this product with Oregano Oil. The constant bloating I was experiencing is now a thing of the past, and my gut health has significantly improved. What's more, I've also noticed a decrease in my joint pain. This approach has truly helped me turn a corner in my health journey.
I've tried many different berberine products over the years, but this is by far the best! It's the first one where I see a difference in my metabolism and am finally losing the belly fat that I was holding on to since menopause. I feel great taking it!
After failing several rounds of antibiotics for SIBO, I found Dr. Rajsree's SIBO protocol and decided to try her herbal protocol. I was amazed that just after phase 1 and starting the Magnesium and Motility activator, that 75% of my symptoms had already improved. This Motility Activator really works, and makes a big difference for bloating in SIBO!
I had IBS for years with frequent stomach aches after food. I began taking this Glutamine powder and Digestive Enzyme Pro every day and within days my gut felt much better. My energy feels great and the IBS is practically gone!
This magnesium is amazing! My sleep is much deeper and I have more dreams. I wake up feeling rested and my bowels move like clockwork. This is my absolute favorite magnesium that's made a huge difference in my health.
Using this enzyme as part of the SIBO treatment protocol. I noticed improvement on day one. I had never used any type of digestive enzyme product before and now I know what it feels like to digest food properly! Amazing.
I would always have a hard time digesting meat and felt bloated and heavy after meals. I came across Dr. Rajsree's blog on stomach acid and decided to try this betaine. All I can say is Wow! This Betaine changed my digestion! I take 2 after every meal now.
I started adding this collagen to my coffee every morning and have noticed my hair has been shedding less and my nails are definitely less brittle! So easy to use and doesn't affect the taste of my coffee. Now I recommend this collagen to all my friends.
My wife bought this for me since I don't like drinking water. Finally, I'm actually drinking enough oz of water in a day. Tastes great, actually quite refreshing and quenches thirst better than any other sports beverage I've tried before.
