Function:
Betaine hydrochloride mainly plays the role of supplementing gastric acid in the human digestive system.
Betaine itself is an effective methyl donor and can participate in some important biochemical reactions in the body. Although betaine hydrochloride is mainly used for gastric acid supplementation, in the process of metabolism in the body, the betaine part can also provide methyl groups and participate in reactions such as the synthesis of methionine, which has an indirect effect on some metabolic processes.
Application:
As a drug ingredient for the treatment of indigestion associated with achlorhydria.
It is widely used in the production of health products that aid digestion. For some people who often have digestive problems such as indigestion, bloating, and burping, health products supplemented with betaine hydrochloride can be used as a daily nutritional supplement to help improve digestive function.
It can be used as a pH adjuster in some special food formulations.
