Betaine hydrochloride contains approximately 23% hydrochloric acid, commonly known as stomach acid. It is naturally sourced from beets. Stomach acid initiates the digestive process by beginning the breakdown of food, especially protein. It is also an important protective mechanism against infection by killing any microbes that are contained in our food or water. Low stomach acid impairs oneβs ability to digest food by limiting the release and functioning of other digestive enzymes.
Glycine betaine is a highly soluble compound and can dissolve in a variety of solvents. However, it is most soluble in polar solvents such as water, ethanol, and methanol.
