Nutricost Betaine HCl Powder 500 Grams - Gluten Free, Non-GMO

It works! If you haven't used this before, be prepared for the weird acrid taste. Worth it.

Works great

Can't beat the price!!! I did notice that it is a grainy powder, not a floury type of powder... It seems to mix well so maybe that does not matter.... Curious why that is as I have only used a full on powder when it come to this stuff... Hope it works out..I may report back if I'm not happy with it...

Fortunately, I found this product when my previous HCl product was no longer available. The Nutricost Betaine HCl Powder provides much more thorough and complete digestion than I have experienced for years and alleviates the nasty symptoms of incomplete digestion! Yes, the flavor is quite "tangy" when mixed with water, but becomes totally tolerable in time. I always take after having eaten small serving of yogurt mixed with digestive enzymes--definitely works very well for me and I'm totally convinced that my nutritional status has greatly improved!!

While I have never tasted urine, this tastes like urine smells. Tried mixing it with my protein shake which is very strong, and this product ruined it. Disgusting!

Good quality and fast shipping

I'm definitely going to continue buying this. If you have problems with indigestion, gas, or bloating after a meal, this is a total need! I take the recommended 1 gram during or after a meal, and it helps with digestion, preventing bloating and other problems. The entire idea here is that betaine hydrochloride increases stomach acid output, and I can attest to that. It does so without negative effects. The only caveat is: Make sure that you have something to drink it with immediately (or mix it with liquid when consuming it), as this form is strong, and it will burn your tongue if you don't.

Betaine HCL literally SAVED my life! I was on a feeding tube where food was being bypassed through my stomach, straight into my small intestine. Everything I ate made me severely sick. The doctors couldn’t figure it out and just kept telling me to take acid reducer medication. They finally did a gastric emptying test, where you have to eat radioactive eggs, to test how long they take to empty from your stomach. It look HOURS. My food was not digesting. I started taking this HCL and I was soon off my feeding tube. My food was finally digesting and I was no longer getting sick. Do you have burping? Acid reflux? Constipation? Nausea? Undigested food in stool? All of these are caused by LOW stomach acid not too HIGH. Like you are told by your doctors.

It's working wonders for me... Perhaps the fastest digestion I have ever experienced, I'm glad.
