As we age and when we are under stress, natural production of stomach acid commonly declines and can cause digestive problems including indigestion, gas and bloating. When stomach acid is low, Betaine HCL can provide additional acidity to maximise digestion.
Higher Nature’s Betaine HCL, in easy-to-swallow vegan capsules, activates in the stomach to help replenish stomach acid and promote more efficient digestion of protein as well as carbohydrate breakdown and fat absorption.
Optimal levels of stomach acid are also necessary for the proper absorption of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron. Stomach acid also forms a vital part of your immune defence against microbes, yeasts, viruses and other harmful invaders. Low stomach acid can even cause symptoms commonly mistaken for over-production of stomach acid, such as acid reflux and heartburn, especially in older people.
This vegetarian and vegan Betaine HCL provides a safe way to boost hydrochloric acid, which is essential for digestion.
- Aids healthy digestion, particularly of protein foods
- May help relieve symptoms such as gas and bloating
- Ideal to support a busy lifestyle
- Plant-based, vegan and vegetarian supplement
One capsule provides 300mg betaine hydrochloride.
Betaine hydrochloride, bulking agent: microcrystalline cellulose, capsule: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, anti-caking agents: magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide. Free from: Artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, yeast, added sugar or salt.

Super Magnesium
High strength and natural, this new magnesium, sourced from the Irish Sea is easily absorbed and gentle on the gut. It is the mineral for you if you suffer from muscle tension, low energy or if you are feeling frazzled and find it hard to relax in the evening.
Made with Aquamin™ marine magnesium – as natural as can be and better tolerated than other types of magnesium. It also naturally contains many beneficial trace minerals which researchers have found to help the magnesium to be better absorbed.
Magnesium has many health benefits and plays an important role in over 300 reactions in the body – it is vital for us all! Muscle tension, restless legs and eye twitches are signs of low magnesium, as are disturbed nights, time of the month and anxiety.
Magnesium also supports healthy bones, teeth and muscles. If you are lacking in energy, it also helps with the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is perfect for natural calm as it supports normal psychological and nervous system function.
Food sources of magnesium include leafy green vegetables, nuts and seeds, whole grains and lentils. National diet surveys have found that our intake of magnesium in foods is consistently low so for many of us, we need to top up.
Magnesium is also depleted by stress, alcohol and high-sugar diets as well as some medications so a well-absorbed supplement may be of benefit.
- Each capsule contains 300mg of magnesium, the dose recommended by researchers to top up levels
- Sourced from the sea – completely natural marine magnesium
- Well-absorbed and well-tolerated
- Supports bones and teeth
- For natural calm and nervous system support
- Also helps improve energy and reduce tiredness and fatigue
- Ideal after exercise as magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance
- One a-day capsule, easy to take
