Higher Nature Betaine HCL Micki Rose says: One of the first things to correct when you are sensitive to stuff is any inability to break food down. If you don't break down food correctly in the stomach because you don't have enough stomach acid (Betaine HCl), you don't get as much nutrient benefit from it as you should so your nutrient status can suffer. We need stomach acid for the absorption of things such as Vitamin C, B12, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper especially. We also need it as a first line defence against anything trying to take over in the stomach area, like helicobacter pylori. The other issue is that you get partially digested proteins going further into your digestive system and any little baddies in your small intestine (think small intestine bacterial overgrowth) or lower in your colon (think candida) gets a free buffet to make them stronger.
