Taking these with meals helps with acid reflux. Just remember to drink water with meals. Compliment the HCL with digestive enzymes and probiotics and you’ll start to naturally reverse your acid reflux. I’ve reversed my condition about 90%, it takes months (or years) depending on the severity of your condition. Now I only get acid reflux sometimes, it’s usually when I eat too much in one sitting. But when I do get acid reflux, I just drink water and it goes away. This supplement really has helped me out a lot. Read more

The pepsin this supplement contains is “fungal pepsin” which is derived from black mold! Terrible for those trying to heal toxic mold illness and terrible altogether. I would avoid. Unfortunately I can’t return this item so it’s going straight to the trash. Read more

I take this because I believe I have a "weak" stomach. Sometimes meals seem to "stall" in my stomach, which starts a fail spiral whereby I'm tired because the meal wasn't successfully converted to usable calories, but I can't eat anything else because my GI is "clogged". I'm using quotation marks because this is all just speculative guessing on my part. These aren't real diagnoses or accepted phenomena that a trained gastroenterologist would likely corroborate. People have a lot of kooky personal health theories. At a minimum we should try to be honest with ourselves about what we know vs. what we "know". Anyway, I take four of these at the *beginning* of a meal if it is heavy on carbs (e.g. pizza). If you take these at the end of the meal, the acid will sit *on top* of all that food in your full belly and give you heartburn. Read more
