Description
Gentian Root and Betaine
Viridian Betaine HCl with Gentian is a digestive support supplement designed to address “hypochlorhydria”—the medical term for low stomach acid.
Unlike many digestive aids that focus on the intestines, this formula targets the stomach, providing immediate supplemental acid (Betaine HCl) alongside an herbal “bitter” that encourages your body to produce its own.
1. Immediate Restoration of Stomach Acidity
Each capsule provides 650mg of Betaine Hydrochloride, which delivers a supplemental source of hydrochloric acid (HCl).
-
The Benefit: It lowers the stomach pH almost immediately upon ingestion. This is crucial for breaking down tough dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Without enough acid, protein sits in the stomach too long, leading to that “heavy” feeling or “food sitting like a brick” after meals.
2. Traditional “Bitter” Stimulation with Gentian
Gentian root is a potent herbal bitter. While Betaine replaces missing acid.
-
The Benefit: When the bitter compounds in Gentian hit the receptors in the digestive tract, they trigger a reflex that stimulates the secretion of saliva, stomach acid, and bile. This provides a “dual-action” approach: immediate support from the HCl and long-term tonifying support for your own digestive organs.
3. Improved Nutrient Absorption
Low stomach acid is a common “hidden” cause of nutrient deficiencies, even in people with healthy diets.
