Product details

HCL Breakthrough is a 100% plant-based betaine hydrochloride supplement designed to help restore healthy stomach acid levels, support optimal digestion, and support the stomach's natural defenses.

Unlike many HCl supplements on the market, this formula contains no pepsin or animal byproducts, making it ideal for vegans and sensitive individuals. It also includes five digestive enzymes that work effectively in acidic environments, helping break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Benefits

Supports Balanced Stomach Acid. Helps restore adequate stomach acid levels, essential for efficient digestion and the stomach's natural defense against bacteria and pathogens.
Supports Nutrient Absorption. Supports the breakdown of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, promoting better cellular nutrition.
Supports the Body's Natural Elimination Process. Helps support regular intestinal movement, so the body can naturally clear out waste.
Suits Mindful Lifestyles. 100% plant-based, with no pepsin or animal derivatives. Derived from beets and enriched with trace minerals.
