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

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.
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.
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.
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.
  • 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
  • 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.
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.
