Betaine -- HCl

Betaine #1

Betaine #2


Source

BETAINE HCL 

 
BASICS

Betaine hydrochloride is a non-essential nutrient and a source of hydrochloric acid, a naturally occurring chemical in the stomach that helps digest food by breaking up fats and proteins. In particular, Betaine HCL is necessary for adequate absorption of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and iron. It is also known as hydrochloric acid and stomach acid. The low pH of the stomach's hydrochloric acid also destroys ingested bacteria and microorganisms.

 
REMEDY FOR

 
  • High homocysteine level (cause for severe coronary disease). 
  • Anemia.
  • Asthma.
  • Gallstones.
  • Indigestion and heartburn. 
  • Rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Thyroid conditions.
  • Tic douloureux.
  • Vitiligo.
  • Arteriosclerosis.
  • Diarrhea.
  • Food allergies.



 

PREVENTION OF

 
  • Malabsorption.
  • Osteoporosis.
  • Asthma.
  • Eczema.
  • Chronic hives.
  • Psoriasis.
  • Arthritis.
  • Thyroid disorder.
  • Vitiligo.



 

USAGE DIRECTION

Only people who have reduced levels of stomach acid should take Betaine HCL. A nutritionally oriented doctor can diagnose this condition. Some nutritionally oriented doctors recommend, when appropriate, taking one or more tablets or capsules, each 5-10 grains (325-650 mg), with a meal that contains protein.


 
SOURCES

No food source exists for Betaine HCL. It is, however, naturally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach. The acidity is quite strong in a normal stomach.
It is the most common hydrochloric acid-containing supplement in the form of tablets and capsules measured in grains or milligrams.


 
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

No adverse effects of the nutrient have been detected, although there is need for further studies.
Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or which is especially bothersome.


 
OVERDOSE

Acute overdose: Burns lining of the stomach.
Chronic overdose: None
What to do:If a burning sensation is experienced, Betaine HCL should be immediately discontinued. For an acute overdose, call your doctor, emergency medical services (EMS), or the nearest poison control center immediately. For symptoms of chronic overdose, contact your doctor.


 
CAUTION

 
  • No more than 10 grains (650 mg) of Betaine HCl should be taken without recommendation of a nutritionally oriented physician. 
  • All people with a history of ulcers, gastritis, or gastrointestinal symptoms -particularly heartburn - should see a nutritionally oriented doctor before taking Betaine HCl. 
  • People using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), cortisone-like drugs, or other medications that might cause a peptic ulcer should not take Betaine HCl. 
  • Young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease should avoid the nutrient, as safety for them has not been conclusively established.

BETAINE HCL

Hydrochloric acid (HCL) initiates the conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin & assists protein digestion. HCL renders your stomach sterile against orally ingested pathogens, prevents bacterial & fungal overgrowth of your small intestine, encourages the flow of bile & pancreatic enzymes, aids the absorption of folic acid, vitamin C, beta-carotene, iron, calcium, magnesium & zinc.

Numerous studies have shown stomach acid secretion declines with advancing age. Such decline may increase the risk of malabsorption & certain clinical conditions such as osteoporosis, asthma, eczema, chronic hives, psoriasis, arthritis, thyroid disorder, vitiligo,chronic candida, GI infections& parasites.

It is estimated that 30% of those over 60 years of age in the U.S. have atrophic gastritis, a condition of little or no acid secretion by the stomach. Forty percent of postmenopausal women have low basal gastric acid secretion.

Common symptoms of decreased stomach acidity, indicating the need for more:

  • Bloating, belching, burning, & flatulence immediately after meals.
  • Indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation.
  • A sense of fullness long after eating.
  • Multiple food sensitivities.
  • Nausea after taking supplements.
  • Rectal itching.
  • Iron & calcium deficiencies.
  • Acne.
  • Dilated blood vessels on the cheeks & nose.
  • Chronic candida, or intestinal parasites.
  • Undigested food in the stools.

Unfortunately, the symptoms of too little acid can mimic the symptoms of too much acid & an inflammation of the lining of the stomach can be associated with too little as well as too much acid. A general guideline is that hyperacid states may be more in those who are younger & low acid states are more likely in those over 50 years of age.

Contraindicated with stomach or duodenal ulcers.
