Protein Digestive Aid - 200 Tabs

Protein is an important component of the diet. Among its uses, in the body protein is needed to build muscle. Hydrochloric acid is also necessary in the process of protein digestion, assisting in the conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin in the stomach. Pepsin also functions most effectively in an acidic environment. As the human body ages its ability to produce hydrochloric acid can decrease, leading to diminished protein digestion.

Nature’s Sunshine’s Protein Digestive Aid provides betaine hydrochloride and pepsin combined to assist normal protein digestion.
