Pepsin is formed when pepsinogen, an inactive enzyme, mixes with stomach acid. The stomach acid converts pepsinogen into the active enzyme, pepsin.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentian (\u003ci\u003eGentian lutea\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e is an herb used to support digestive capacity.

One of the functions of stomach acid is to break down food that enters the stomach into smaller particles, the acid is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach.\r\n\r\nBetaine HCl has been shown to support a lower gastric pH which could potentially support in the absorption of nutrients if there is a lack of stomach acid. Gentian is an herb that is native to parts of Europe and Asia. The root has been traditionally used to support digestive function due in large part to its bitter constituents. Some traditional texts classify gentian as a bitter tonic and digestive stimulant. This is due to its ability to support the secretion of digestive enzymes. Gentian has been shown to support gastric secretion production, as well as support choleretic activity.\r\n\u003ch5\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h5\u003eBetaine HCI 650 mg, Pepsin 250,000 FCC Pepsin Units, Gentian (\u003ci\u003eGentiana lutea\u003c\/i\u003e) root 20 mg.
