What is Betaine HCL?
Betaine hydrochloride contains approximately 23% hydrochloric acid, commonly known as stomach acid. It is naturally sourced from beets. Stomach acid initiates the digestive process by beginning the breakdown of food, especially protein. It is also an important protective mechanism against infection by killing any microbes that are contained in our food or water.

Most importantly Betaine HCL helps to increase stomach acid and assist digestion. This is especially important for older persons, particularly those over 60, who may not produce enough stomach acid to properly digest food and nutrients. HCL makes the stomach produce more acid and also stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, further aiding digestion.

Low Stomach Acid (Underactive Stomach)
Low stomach acid impairs one's ability to digest food by limiting the release and functioning of other digestive enzymes. Although it may seem contradictory, low stomach acid can also lead to gastric reflux (heartburn). Closure of the valve at the top of the stomach is stimulated by the hydrochloric acid that is released in response to food intake. In an individual with low stomach acid the valve does not close and allowing the remaining acid to push up into the esophagus and cause a burning sensation.Betaine hydrochloride is recommended for indigestion, low stomach acid and gastric reflux.

Common Signs of Low Stomach Acid may include:

• bloating & flatulence after a meal
• Indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation
• stomach pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen after a meal
• heartburn
• nausea and vomiting
• bad breath
• undigested food in the stool
• food allergies

Good Digestion is the key to Health
Indigestion is caused by an inability to breakdown and absorb food. It has probably affected everyone at least once and, most likely, after a Thanksgiving dinner. It is usually directly related to the type of food eaten and poor eating habits.

Chronic indigestion may be related to lack of bile, stomach acid and enzymes, or food sensitivities. It occurs more commonly as we age because our production of digestive enzymes and stomach acid decreases. Indigestion symptoms include, a burning sensation in the stomach or chest, a heavy sensation, belching, flatulence, bloating, nausea and decreased appetite.

Conventional treatment of indigestion involves symptomatic treatment, usually with antacids. Prolonged use of antacids can cause mineral imbalances because they contain large amounts of sodium, aluminum, calcium and magnesium. Excess sodium can worsen hypertension and aluminum has been connected to Alzheimer's disease. Antacids also change the pH of the stomach so that food is improperly broken down, actually leading to worse indigestion. Drugs to suppress acid production are also prescribed. Long-term use of these medicines can damage the stomach lining, leading to tumour formation. Other side effects include impotence or breast enlargement.

It is important when you experience chronic digestive symptoms like heart burn that you support the health of your stomach, intestinal, and esophogeal lining. The flare up, absence, or reflux of acid can damage the lining of the gut, creating further digestive challenges, in particular leaky gut in which undigested food particles leak out from the intestines and then into the blood stream.

To prevent indigestion eat small meals, chew well and eat slowly so that you do not swallow excess air. Relax and enjoy the smell and taste of food. This will stimulate the release of digestive juices. Do not drink liquids while eating because it dilutes digestive juices. Avoid foods that are extremely hot or cold. Avoid things that increase stomach acidity like alcohol, coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, aspirin, ibuprofen and spicy foods. If you have low stomach acid take lemon juice or take apple cider vinegar with your meals. Avoid any foods that you are sensitive to. An elimination or rotation diet may be necessary to uncover specific food allergens. Combinations of certain foods can also be difficult to digest. Use food-combining guidelines to make digestion easier.

You Can Support Digestive Health By:

• Chewing food completely.
• Eating several small meals daily instead of three large meals.
• Avoiding fluids with meals.
• Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Avoiding refined, processed foods.
• Not overeating; eat until 80% full.
• Taking a HCL supplement before meals.
• Supplementing with Probiotics.
• Taking digestive enzyme during or after meals.

Most ordinary forms of oral Vitamin C – tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and even the Vitamin C from your diet – are not processed and absorbed efficiently by your body. As a result, much of this Vitamin C is never transferred into your bloodstream and even less of it makes it into your cells where it’s needed most. In fact, when you take 1,000 mg or more of regular oral Vitamin C, more than half of it is digested and passed as waste by your body.*

Until now…

LivOn’s patented Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C encapsulates the C molecules in liposomes made from Essential Phospholipids, which protect the C from destruction by your digestive juices. Within minutes of taking Lypo-Spheric™ Vitamin C, liposomes filled with Vitamin C are transported directly into the bloodstream, and into the cells.

Vitamin C is often attributed to its role as an antioxidant. However, it is much more than that.  No other antioxidant can perform the many additional physiological and biological roles that vitamin C fills.

Vitamin C:

• Supports a healthy immune system & reduces the risk for chronic degenerative diseases
• Helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals from exposure to toxins and pollutants
• Powerful “antioxidant” in the blood and cellular tissues throughout the body and is vital for the maintenance of good health.
• Helps neutralizes oxidative stress
• Important aid in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums

Directions for Use

As a dietary supplement, take one packet 1 to 2 times per day, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. For best results, snip or tear the notched end off the packet, squeeze into one or more ounces of your favorite cool beverage, drink on an empty stomach, and wait at least 15 minutes before eating for maximum absorption.

We do not recommend mixing any of the products in hot beverages, because this could damage the liposomes.

We also do not recommend blending any of our products in a food processor or blender.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze or place the product in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. If you open an individual packet and do not wish to consume all of the product, reseal the open packet in an airtight bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to take it, or up to 24 hours.

Your brain requires an array of nutrients in order to function effectively. Some herbal extracts may also provide assistance. Unlike other parts of the body‚ the brain has no anaerobic metabolism and needs oxygen flow at all times. Cognitive Factors may support overall brain health.

Ginkgo biloba is widely renowned for its potential to support cognitive functioning. It may promote increased blood flow and boost the amount of oxygen in the brain. In addition‚ it may support the effective transmission of nerve impulses‚ which send signals from your brain to other parts of the body in order to perform certain tasks.

Cognitive Factors by Pure Encapsulations is a convenient supplement that provides both ginkgo and vinpocetine. Vinpocetine is derived from the leaves of Vinca minor‚ a plant also known as lesser periwinkle; it promotes the healthy functioning of red blood cells and blood flow in the brain while protecting the nervous system by moderating calcium and sodium levels in nerve cells. Furthermore‚ vinpocetine helps steer glucose to the brain‚ which provides it with energy. As a result‚ you may experience stronger memory and mental performance.

The 80 milligrams of ginkgo biloba in every capsule of Cognitive Factors also works as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger‚ while supporting the functioning of platelets‚ capillaries‚ and blood vessels in the brain's circulatory system. This ginkgo biloba extract has been standardized to provide 6% terpene lactones and 24% ginkgoheterosides. Especially as you get older‚ this may alleviate mild symptoms of absentmindedness.

Take one or two capsules daily‚ in divided doses with meals. At the recommended dosage‚ each 120-capsule bottle of Pure Encapsulations' Cognitive Factors should last for about two to four months.

Pure Encapsulations seeks to formulate and manufacture high-quality‚ hypoallergenic dietary supplements. Quality control during the formulation and manufacturing process is paramount. All Pure Encapsulations products are made with the most bioavailable ingredients possible.
