Protein Digestive Aid
Protein is the most important
component in our diets. Amongst its many uses in the
body, protein is needed for tissue growth,
maintenance and repair, to build muscle and make
both enzymes and anti-bodies. The availability of
hydrochloric acid in the body’s stomach is essential
in digesting protein, which assists in converting
pepsinogen to pepsin. Pepsin functions most
effectively within an acidic environment. As the
human body ages its ability to produce hydrochloric
acid can decrease, leading to diminished protein
digestion. Nature’s Sunshine’s Protein Digestive
Aid provides combined betaine hydrochloride and
pepsin to assist normal protein digestion.
|
|
Therapeutic Use
Each tablet contains 325mg of betaine
hydrochloride, supplying dilute hydrochloric acid to
supplement normal body secretion, and 65mg of pepsin
(Activity 0.5Ph. Eur U/mg), a natural protein digesting
enzyme. This may assist in digestion and can ease bad
breath associated with indigestion.

Each ‘preservative free’ tablet contains
powder of: Betaine hydrochloride 325mg, Pepsin (from
porcine) 65mg.
