Smidge® HCl + Enzymes – Natural support for digestion

Smidge® HCl + Enzymes is a carefully formulated dietary supplement that combines betaine hydrochloride (HCl), pepsin and a unique enzyme blend to support digestion and nutrient absorption. This product has been specially developed for people with low stomach acid production, as well as those who experience digestive problems such as bloating, gas, reflux and incomplete breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. By supplying essential digestive enzymes and stomach acid, Smidge® HCl + Enzymes can contribute to more efficient digestion and support the body's ability to absorb important nutrients from the diet.

Benefits and effects

Smidge® HCl + Enzymes are designed to support multiple aspects of digestion and gastrointestinal health. This supplement contains enzymes that can contribute to a more efficient breakdown of nutrients and optimize the digestive process.

• Supports stomach acid production: Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) can help maintain a healthy stomach acid level, which is essential for an optimal digestive process. Low stomach acid production can lead to poor breakdown of food and reduced absorption of nutrients.

• Improves protein digestion: Pepsin, an enzyme produced naturally in the stomach, is essential for the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides. Together with the protease peptidase complex, which includes the DPP-IV enzyme, this product can support the efficient breakdown of proteins, including gluten and casein.

• Supports fat digestion: Lipase is an essential enzyme for the breakdown of fat, which can help the body absorb fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins more effectively.

• Contributes to better carbohydrate digestion: Amylase can assist in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, which can facilitate the absorption of nutrients from carbohydrate-rich foods.

• Supports lactose breakdown: The lactase enzyme can help people with lactose intolerance by breaking down the milk sugar lactose, which can reduce discomfort after consuming dairy products.

• Promotes mineral absorption: Stomach acid plays an important role in the release and absorption of essential minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc.

• Contributes to a healthy intestinal flora: Optimal digestion and nutrient absorption can create a better environment for beneficial intestinal bacteria, which is important for gastrointestinal health.

• May contribute to reduced bloating and gas: Incomplete digestion of food can lead to fermentation in the gut, which in turn can cause bloating and gas.

• Ideal for specific diets: Smidge® HCl + Enzymes can be especially helpful for people following a paleo, low-carb or GAPS diet, where digestion of high-fat and high-protein meals can be challenging.
