There was a case where a person had been suffering from nutrient deficiencies despite a balanced diet. It turned out to be due to low stomach acid. After taking betaine HCl, their body was able to absorb nutrients like iron, calcium and vitamin B12 much better. Their energy levels increased, and their hair and skin health also improved as a result of better nutrient absorption.
Sure. One success story is that many people with low stomach acid found betaine HCl improved their digestion. They could break down food better, especially proteins, which led to reduced bloating and gas. After starting to take betaine HCl, they noticed they no longer had that heavy feeling in their stomach after meals.
I know someone who had frequent indigestion and heartburn. They thought it was too much acid at first. But after proper diagnosis, it was found to be low stomach acid. With betaine HCl supplementation, the pH in their stomach became more balanced. This not only resolved their indigestion and heartburn issues but also improved their overall gut health. Their gut flora became more balanced as well because proper digestion helps maintain a healthy gut environment.
