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. Other symptoms include phlegm in your throat after meals from silent reflux, or seeing undigested food fragments in your stool.
If low stomach acid is your problem, correcting it with Betaine and Pepsin can make a significant difference in the absorption of proteins, leading to less bloating, 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 love the magnesium supplement because it does not upset my stomach. It helps me go to sleep at night and it is been the perfect addition to my menopausal journey.
Excellent product, felt a major difference after day 1. Would highly recommend to anyone with inflammation in the gut. I feel like I can breathe better and joints feel better also! Thank you!!
Husband finished chemo that was accompanied by
antibiotics. He was taking Probiotics during this time. As soon as the chemo was completed I’ve started him on the Probiotic 225 Billion to rebuild his gut biom.
I appreciate all the educational videos from Dr Rajsree. So much information to build and maintain good health is at our fingertips to use.
Excellent Doctor
I have been having breast pain. All my diagnostic tests were all normal, so I don’t know what’s causing the pain. After taking this estrogen balancer, my breast pain is gone. I also take Calcium-D- Glucarate with it. I am so glad I found Dr RN Youtube video!
Essential magnesium has changed my life! I have regular bowel movements now, and I’m no longer constipated. It has also greatly helped with my anxiety, headaches and pms symptoms. I feel like a new person! I recommend this product to everyone! You will not regret it!
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!
