Versatile amount
This is a very versatile product at 250 mg per capsule as it can be enough for a snack or take several for a larger meal. Most Betaine is 500, 650 or 750 mg which is too large for a small meal or snack.

Good Value in Small Dosage per Capsule
I take Swanson's HCI in combination with a digestive enzyme that does not contain HCI with Pepsin. I like the smaller dosage per capsule. I also like that it has a vegetarian capsule (not gelatin) because I have an autoimmune response to gelatin. It compares favorably with any other brand of HCI with Pepsin and is a better value.

I've been using this product for maybe 15 years. I've had ulcers and learned most people don't make enough acid in their stomach. It works, is inexpensive and so effective!

Unsure
I like the smaller dosage very much in these capsules. I would give 5 stars if I knew it was not GMO. I’m not sure so makes me doubtful about using. Swanson doesn’t seem to have many non gmo vitamins which defeats the purpose..

Helps me!
I feel confident this helps solve my bloating. I am A Blood type so run low on stomach acid. However, I am feeling it may keep me awake if taken too late in the day. Still process of elimination!

Good Product
Good product and good value but low potency (ideal for people starting out with B.HCL). I require more digestive support, so next time I'm buying higher potency/pill.

A quality product at a good value.
A good product. But, I'd appreciate a more balanced formula between the two components. Otherwise, nice.

Betaine HCI Acid is worth it's weight in gold helping to mataine a good digestion.
I have low very low acid in my stomach which causes a slow digestive process in the stomach and intestines. Since I have been taking Betaine HCI Hydrochloric Acid I am able to enjoy my meals and especially beef which is hard to digest. I only found my problem out when I had a PH test to see if I had too much acid which turned out I have Alkali imbalance. Thank you Swanson! from Clarkesville, Ga.
