Problems with protein? We all need protein in our diets, but for some of us, it poses a special challenge to our digestive systems. Swanson Betaine HCl is a special formula that gives your stomach a little assistance to help it break down proteins more efficiently. It features VegPeptase(TM)--a vegan-sourced pepsin--an enzyme that helps digest proteins, plus betaine hydrochloride to promote proper pH levels in the stomach. Together they make an excellent digestive team to help tackle protein problems.
