Many ill and elderly people cannot digest their food properly and convert the food into energy. One of the reasons for this is lack of gastric acid.
Gastric acid is, chemically speaking, very close to hydrochloric acid. Quite a lot of people experience renewed power and strength when taking betaine hydrochloride just before eating.
If you have too much gastric acid you will immediately have an eructation of acid fluid - and it will not be necessary to take betaine hydrochloride.
Betaine hydrochloride can be found in capsules along with digestive enzymes. If you have problems tolerating the gastric acid, you should pay attention to this.
Dosage
10 - 20 mg. of betaine hydrochloride 3 times daily in connection with meals.
