GastricAid© is a safe, non-drug formula specifically designed to optimize the health and functioning of the digestive system. This formula supports a normal and healthy balance of necessary digestive acids through supplementation with betaine hydrochloride, glutamic acid hydrochloride, pepsin and gentian root.
The human requirement for vitamins, minerals and other nutrients remains relatively constant throughout adult life. Unfortunately our ability to properly digest food and absorb vital nutrients declines with advancing age.
Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) is a nutritional supplement that has been used for over 100 years to safely restore normal gastric acidity and to support healthy gut function. Betaine HCl should not be confused with another popular nutritional supplement, anhydrous Betaine, a methyl-donor nutrient taken to control homocysteine levels.
Pepsin has a long history of medicinal use and is considered very safe when administered to assist digestion, typically in conjunction with hydrochloric acid.
The bitter principles of the dried root of Gentiana lutea have been used in Europe as a digestive aid for centuries, especially in Swedish bitters. Gentian roots were historically used topically to treat skin tumors, and internally to treat fever and diarrhea. Modern research has shown that gentian, which contains two of the most bitter substances known, the glycosides gentiopicrin and amarogentin, acts on taste bud receptors to stimulate the secretion of saliva in the mouth and hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
