Betaine Hydrochloride

Betaine's support for the digestive system is priceless for those with digestion issues. Betaine is an essential element in most digestive enzyme formulas because it facilitates the breakdown of nutrients in the digestive tract. 

Betaine protects cells, proteins and enzymes from stress.  Betaine helps the human body to secure nutrition the body cannot manufacture, such as methionine (a sulphur compound), critical to liver and kidney health.  In facilitating methionine to the body, Betaine helps joint pain sufferers to form cartilage in their joints.  As a beauty plus, Betaine helps to improve the hair and nails.  Betaine maintains liver health by improving the liver's fat metabolism to prevent accumulation of fat in the liver.

The clinical study "Betaine in Human Nutrition" concludes 'Betaine has been shown to protect internal organs, improve vascular risk factors, and enhance performance. Databases of betaine content in food are being developed for correlation with population health studies. The growing body of evidence shows that Betaine is an important nutrient for the prevention of disease.'  1
