The stomach due to its hydrochloric acid content is a hostile environment for microbes. The acidity acts as a first line of defense against infections. Recent evidence shows that the loss of gastric acid production is the result of undiagnosed asymptomatic atrophic gastritis.
To set up a treatment program for atrophic gastritis, it is often beneficial to supplement with Betain HCL BETWEEN meals to minimize re-infection. A supplement that contains pepsin may cause irritation of the lining of the stomach if taken on the empty stomach. Thus Betain HCL can be taken with or without meals.
