3521	Beta-Gest	Occasionally we may overeat, overtaxing the capacity of the naturally occurring chemicals and enzymes in the stomach critical for complete digestion of foods. Hydrochloric acid directly assists the absorption of some nutrients (e.g. vitamin B12), prepares protein to be absorbed, and activates pepsin, an enzyme that contributes to protein digestion. The protein-digesting enzymes (proteases) and lactase, necessary for effective digestion of lactose (milk sugar), all work in the acidic stomach environment. Also, as people age, their bodies tend to produce less hydrochloric acid and less lactase.	Complete formula: Supplies naturally derived Betaine HCI, acid-activated protease and papain (another protein-digesting enzyme). Assists lactose digestion by providing the enzyme lactase. 100% plant-sourced enzymes function in the optimal pH ranges of stomach digestive activity. Controlled release of hydrochloric acid at a rate similar to normal secretion. Non-habit-forming: Addresses the causes of improper stomach digestion, not just the symptoms.
