مريح ويساعد على الهضم بطريقه مذهلة

Just noticed something weird. Expiration date was erased (on purpose) from the two ordered packs. Unfortunately discovered this after consuming the first pack and opened the second.

Good

After i got it , i found its not halal for muslims because one of it’s ingredients is pepsin and unfortunately it is derived from a porcine source so i threw it into the trash

Workable

I was suffering from GERD for past 2+ years. Tried various PPIs, antacids prescribed by different Gastroenterologists which gave relief initially but the issues(heart burn, indigestion, belchinh) were recurring. Finally found the issue was due to low stomach acid, after watching few YouTube videos who had similar problem for past 15+ years. So, I tried this betaine hcl supplement along with d-limonene supplement and it worked like a charm. I didn't had any issues mentioned above even after having dal and fried foods. My bowel movement improved as well. I ordered my 4th tub now. I will use this supplement for a couple more months with reduced dosage to bring my stomach acid level to normal level and planning to use it occasionally when necessary.

Llevo 25 años con síntomas de gastritis y reflujo que siempre atribuí a exceso de ácido clorhídrico, hace un par de meses vi un video del Dr. Carlos Jaramillo en Youtube y caí en cuenta que mi problema era precisamente lo contrario, hipoclorhidria, la cual a últimas fechas había llegado a afectar de manera muy significativa mi calidad de vida, así que dejé de tomar mi dosis diaria de famotidina y 3-4 días después empecé a tomar una cápsula de Betaine HCI Pepsin and Gentian Bitters con cada comida y el cambio ha sido increíble, todos los malestares estomacales prácticamente han desaparecido, recomiendo altamente este medicamento ya que ha hecho maravillas en mi sistema digestivo en general, adiós gastritis, síndrome de intestino irritable, naúseas, lengua blanca, mal aliento, ansiedad derivada de mi estado crónico de malestar, etc.

It may be too early to leave such a glowing review, but I'll update it if it turns out to be a false alarm. For over a decade, since about 2009, I've had almost constant loose stools and diarrhea. Not off and on, but every day. Pardon the TMI, but it became a daily ritual, to use the bathroom multiple times for number two. I almost forgot what a firm stool felt like. Well the first day of taking these pills, that's no more. I used the bathroom once, and it was solid! *Strike up Handel's Halleluiah Chorus!* It has been months since that happened. I honestly don't even remember the last time! It's not an exaggeration to say I've tried just about everything else for the past decade. I've tried psyllium husk fiber, which is the only thing that helped other than this, though the stool still wasn't totally firm. I've tried Benefiber. I tried probiotics of various sorts, kefir, yogurt, s. bolardii, l. reuteri, etc. etc. I tried IBS supplements. I tried Propolis. I went to a gastroenterologist who ran stool tests on me, did a colonoscopy, and prodded around with no success. I've had GERD, which I've taken pills to suppress my stomach acid, and all the while the problem just became worse. In my research I've learned that my symptoms, common symptoms of what doctors pass off as IBS because they don't know the root cause of them, can be caused by low stomach acid. Oddly enough, even the acid reflux apparently may be caused by it. When I read this, I came across something called the "baking soda test." Baking soda is a strong base, so when you put it in a strong acid, like stomach acid, it produces gas, enough to make you give off a strong belch. So you mix half a teaspoon of baking soda in about four ounces of water and swallow it. You time three minutes. If you don't belch, you aren't giving off the expected gas that one would expect if your stomach acid is strong enough. *This test should be run in the morning when you get up, before you've had food.* I took this test a couple mornings in a row and had very little gas. Didn't belch at all the second time I tried it, and the first time I did a slight bit immediately, probably because I swallowed some air. This convinced me to go ahead and try these pills. And boy am I glad I did. This may be a game changer if they continue to work like they did today. These pills are working in a way I haven't seen anything else work, and my first trip to the potty since I started taking them was a FIRM success. If you have symptoms of IBS, loose stools, diarrhea, frequent trips to the bathroom, etc., you owe it to yourself to give these a try.

I take one 10 minutes before eating and it sets my digestive system to do it's job. Helps with Reflux

Helpful in increasing the stomach acid and very genuinely stopping reflux. Felt a small amount of stomach pain after five days of taking it twice a day. However, continued it for three weeks along with ACD and very effective in reducing bloating, indigestion, and acid reflux.
