What is betaine HCl?
- Betaine HCl is a compound that can create an acidic environment in aqueous solution.
- Betaine is a naturally occurring compound that serves as a methyl group donor in metabolism and is involved in various biochemical processes.
- Certain enzymes require an acidic environment for their activation and function.
- The pH value in the stomach influences the structure and function of specific digestive enzymes.
Vegan enzyme alternative to pepsin
- Contains 50 mg of Aspergillopepsin I per capsule – an enzyme involved in the breakdown of proteins.
- Plant-based alternative to conventional pepsin, which is derived from animal sources
- Works at a pH value of 2-4
Areas of application
- Suitable for individuals with increased personal requirements.
- Betaine also contributes to the maintenance of normal homocysteine metabolism (from 1500 mg of betaine daily – equivalent to 3 capsules).
- Synergistic combination of Betaine HCl & Pepsin - Betaine HCl is a compound that can create an acidic environment in aqueous solution. Pepsin is an enzyme that is active in a low pH range and is involved in the breakdown of proteins.
- Vegan alternative to animal pepsin - Contains aspergillopepsin I, an enzyme from Aspergillus niger, which is already active at a pH value of 2-4.
- Ideal for increased needs – For experienced users or targeted use around meals.
- Betaine for homocysteine metabolism - Betaine contributes to the maintenance of normal homocysteine metabolism when at least 1500 mg of betaine is taken daily.
- Vegan and allergen-free: Free from animal ingredients, gluten, lactose and soy - ideal for vegans and allergy sufferers.
- No unnecessary additives: Contains no preservatives, artificial colors or magnesium stearate.
- Strict quality standards: Each batch is regularly and independently tested for purity and safety in German laboratories.
- Developed and produced by our experts at our headquarters in Nauheim, Hesse
- Long-standing tradition and passion - a family business since 1999
Take 1 capsules daily unchewed with sufficient water, ideally with a protein-rich meal. Do not open the capsules.

GI Balance Ultra
Stomach acid is a real all-rounder - it helps with digestion and protects the body from unwanted germs in food. With a pH value of 1-2, it is even stronger than lemon juice, which has a pH value of around 2! However, with increasing age or certain dietary habits, the production of this important acid can decrease.
If the acidity is too low, proteins are less easily broken down and nutrients such as vitamin B12 are absorbed less efficiently. Enzymes such as pepsin, which are essential for protein digestion, also need an acidic environment in order to work optimally.

Frequently asked questions
Can GI Balance Ultra be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the intake of betaine HCl & pepsin should only occur after consulting a physician. There are currently no sufficient studies on the safety during these phases, so an individual medical assessment is recommended.
Why should betaine HCl be taken with a protein-rich meal?
Betaine HCl is often used in combination with pepsin, an enzyme involved in protein breakdown. A protein-rich meal supports the optimal function of pepsin. Additionally, protein intake may help reduce potential stomach irritation caused by the acid.
When does betaine HCl + pepsin start to work?
The effect does not occur immediately after the first dose. The optimal dosage is individual and should be gradually increased until the desired support is achieved. Noticeable improvement can be observed after several days of consistent use.
Can GI Balance Ultra be taken long term?
Yes, due to its natural ingredients, long-term use is generally considered safe. In contrast, conventional acid blockers should only be used for a limited period, as long-term use may be associated with health risks.
Are there any side effects or interactions?
- Interactions with medications: Betaine HCl may affect the effectiveness of acid-suppressing medications (antacids, H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitors). If you are taking such medications, use caution and consult a physician.
- Not suitable in cases of ulcers or gastritis: People with gastric ulcers or inflammatory conditions of the stomach lining should not take betaine HCl, as it may further irritate the gastric mucosa
How should betaine HCl be combined with meals?
- It should be taken with a sufficiently large meal (at least 500 kcal), preferably one high in protein.
- Do not take on an empty stomach, as this may increase the risk of stomach irritation. If taken without food, a meal should follow immediately.
- For smaller meals, a reduced dose may be sufficient.
Why should the capsules not be opened or dissolved in liquids?
Betaine HCl contains hydrochloric acid, which can irritate sensitive tissue. The capsule shell protects the teeth, esophagus, and oral cavity from direct contact with the acid.
