Did you know an estimated 61% of people have digestive problems each week?

Here's the problem:

• Digestive issues can be caused by low levels of stomach acid
• As you age, levels of stomach acid tend to decline - and the average age is rising
• Stress may decrease stomach acid - and stress levels are peaking
• Common vitamin deficiencies (zinc, B vitamins, choline) lead to low stomach acid - and these deficiencies are widespread
• Medications prescribed to reduce acid reflux can have long term effects on your stomach acid
• Few people are aware of the impact of stomach acid, and even fewer know how to fix it

Betaine was first discovered in the 19th century in the sugar of beets, earning its name. Betaine has since been found in many foods, including wheat, shellfish and spinach.

Betaine is an amino acid that has been shown to have potential benefits for fighting heart disease, improving body composition, and helping promote muscle gain and fat loss.

Just like some B vitamins, including folate and vitamin B12, betaine is considered to be a methyl donor, meaning it aids in liver function, detoxification and cellular functioning within the body.

Its more crucial role is to help the body process fats.

Betaine has historically been a little-studied amino acid, but its recent popularity as a pre-workout supplement has garnered attention over the last 10 years.

Recent studies show promising results for:

• Supporting heart health†
• Anti-inflammatory effects†
• Improving muscle mass†
• Helping with fat loss†
• Improving liver function and detoxification†
• Aiding in Digestion†
• Reliving aches and pains†
• Helping repair bodily damage from alcohol†
• Supporting skin health†

Small amounts of betaine are produced naturally by the human body.

Betaine is a derivative of the nutrient choline, where choline is a precursor to betaine.

This means choline must be present in the system for betaine to be synthesized by the body.

The problem is, most people don't consume the recommended dosage of choline.

This makes Betaine supplementation an option for most people and choline supplementation is also encouraged.

Betaine by UMZU uses betaine in the form Betaine Hydrochloride (HCl).

Betaine HCl is a substance created in laboratories by adding HCl to Betaine.

Betaine HCl increases the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is the acid that must be present in order to break down food and use nutrients.

This makes Betaine HCl a powerful digestive aid, along with the already widespread benefits of Betaine supplementation.

By supplementing with Betaine just once per day, you will be filling your body with an amino acid it needs to function. Try Betaine today and see the results in your digestion, body composition, liver function, skin health and more...

According to a 2016 report published in Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal, one potential side effect is heartburn.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid taking Betaine HCl since there’s no information or available studies on how it may affect you or your baby. 

Because Betaine HCl can boost the amount of hydrochloric acid in your stomach, it may irritate stomach ulcers or prevent them from getting better. For this reason, it’s best not to take Betaine HCl if you have a peptic ulcer or live with peptic ulcer disease.

Currently, there is no official FDA recommended dosage for Betaine HCl. As such, the amount found in supplements can vary quite a bit. 

UMZU determined the dosage in Betaine HCl based on the amount used in clinical research shown to induce the benefits listed above.

If you’re considering adding a Betaine HCl supplement to your treatment regimen, make sure to talk to your healthcare provider and pharmacist. With their help, you can make an educated decision in light of any potential risks or medication interactions based on your personal medical history.

It’s important to keep in mind that little is known about Betaine HCl and how it may (or may not) work for various health conditions. In light of this reality, it’s essential that you consult with a healthcare professional before you start taking it.
