Why BIOptimizers HCL BreakthroughBetaine HCL is a compound of the peptide betaine and hydrogen (H) chloride (Cl). HCL is an acid in solution, as is found in the stomach. The betaine HCL is extracted from beets.In addition to betaine HCL, HCL Breakthrough also contains 5 different digestive enzymes and a full spectrum, patented mix of minerals. All ingredients are from a plant-based source.Many HCL products contain the digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin often comes from an animal source and some people cannot tolerate it well.
