Unique FormulaThorne's Betaine HCl & Pepsin is derived from a porcine source. |
Well-Researched BenefitsIndigestion can be caused by many things – including inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. HCl secretion in the stomach assists protein digestion, inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine, and encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes. |
Free of AdditivesThis product is not diluted with lactose. |
Purest IngredientsThere are no unnecessary fillers or additives in Thorne supplements. Thorne is committed to providing high-quality supplements that contain research-backed ingredients, in efficacious amounts, that retain the potency to meet label claims until the day of expiration. |
The gut isn’t just the stomach. The gut is the entire digestive tract (from the mouth to the rectum) and is a complex mix of organs, microbes, hormones, and enzymes. How this complex mix of organs interacts dictates how well you will absorb the foods you eat. So what happens or doesn’t happen in your gut will inevitably impact your daily lifestyle. Because the digestive tract delivers the nutrients we eat to our bodies, there are many steps we can take to make sure we reap the full reward from these nutrients in terms of absorption, especially if someone is prone to gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, or other distress after eating. Optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is vital to nutrient absorption, nutrient synthesis, the production of short-chain fatty acids for colon health, the elimination of waste, and proper immune function. An unhealthy diet, insufficient digestive enzymes, and taking various prescriptions can cause imbalances in the gut flora. That’s why supplementation is important, and it's is why Thorne offers well-researched, high-quality supplements that support a healthy gut.
When the highest standards have been met, Thorne creates higher ones.

Sourcing Exceptional IngredientsWe develop better standards for higher quality ingredients. Thorne cares deeply about where our ingredients come from. We partner only with suppliers whose practices emphasize quality, science, and responsibility. Better ingredients means better potency, absorption, and digestibility - and ultimately better health. |
Manufacturing the Right WayWe manufacture our own products to ensure full supply chain transparency. For more than 30 years, we have invested in clean manufacturing practices. We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified. |
Four Rounds of TestingWe run four rounds of testing for each of our products. We have invested in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories that allow us to conduct four rounds of testing, while most competitors test only one or two times. We test our raw materials, in-process batches, finish products, and product stability for each product. |
Thinking SustainablyWe're thinking sustainably to protect our environment. We believe the environment should never be compromised for the sake of business gain. At Thorne, we believe that doing our part to protect the environment and its most valuable resources goes hand in hand with our product quality standards. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When I took the very first Thorne capsules, I took 2 of them, which I thought would be perfectly fine because they contained less HCL per cap than the others. BIG mistake! My stomach burned for quite a few hours. I learned the hard way to only use one Thorne capsule.
In fact, I found out right away that just taking one of these with breakfast took care of my problems for the entire day, and somehow gave me the same results that I was getting with 12 per day of the others. (I have a particular digestive problem which responds well to HCL, and I get fast feedback the same day as to the effectiveness of HCL capsules.) So, for my particular health scenario, the Thorne capsules have consistantly worked well for me, the one per day makes me feel great, and obviously well worth paying a little extra for, since I only use one instead of 12. I don't take any more HCL during the day unless I eat meat, in which case I take one capsule just before I eat the meat. However, for this I purposely use another brand which isn't as strong as the Thorne. Taking more than one Thorne per day seems to be too much for me, and causes discomfort. I should probably experiment with taking half of a Thorne capsule.
There is one other positive effect of taking the Thorne that I find extremely important. When I was taking large numbers of HCL's of other brands, I was exposing myself to excessive heavy metal contamination, which I didn't understand at the time. But I've come to understand that contamination in supplements is common, so now I place particular value on the Thorne HCL's for doing the job with only one cap per day, thus minimizing my exposure to heavy metals and other impurities. Plus, being a higher quality product, the Thorne probably also has way fewer impurities than the average supplement.

Als ich angefangen habe mich selber zu dem Thema zu informieren bin ich über viele Artikel gestolpert in denen in denen die Annahme vertreten wird das nicht ein Zuviel sondern in Zuwenig an Magensäure der Auslöser der Beschwerden ist. Je weniger Magensäure vorhanden ist umso schlechter kann die Nahrung - vor allem Eiweiße - im Magen aufgespalten werden. Dies führt zu Gasbildung die wiederum die obere Magenklappe aufdrückt, so das die Säure austreten kann. Eine Zuführung künstlicher Magensäure hilft dabei das die Nahrung wieder besser verarbeitet werden kann.
Da ich nichts mehr zu verlieren hatte habe ich es mit künstlicher Magensäure, der Betaine HCL, probiert und habe es seitdem nie bereut. Ich nehme entweder diese Kapseln von Thorne oder die Betaine HCL von Doctor's Best, je nachdem welche Kapseln gerade lieferbar sind.
Die Kapseln von Doctors best sind auch für Veganer geeignet, die von Thorne enthalten Pepsin vom Schwein. Gute Erfahrungen habe ich mit beiden Präparaten gemacht. An die richtige, individuelle Dosierung muss man sich etwas herantasten. Diese kann auch je nach Art der Mahlzeit höher oder niedriger ausfallen. Esse ich z.B. Fisch (also Eiweiß) nehme ich eine Kapsel mehr. Bei einer reinen Salatmahlzeit verzichte ich komplett. Ich nehme 1 - 2 Kapseln direkt vor der Mahlzeit ein, allerhöchstens mal 3 Stück bei sehr üppigen Mahlzeiten. In Verbindung mit den Digest Gold Enzymkapseln habe ich mittlerweile keinerlei Probleme mehr mit Reflux oder Blähbauch.
Me sienta fenomenal. Estoy muy contenta con el producto.
