The role of hydrochloric acid in digestive health
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a critical component of healthy digestive function. As we age, the body's natural capacity to produce adequate HCl can slowly decline — reducing the efficiency of protein digestion, calcium absorption, and the uptake of key micronutrients. Incomplete protein metabolism may also disrupt intestinal flora balance, with downstream consequences for overall health.
Supporting gastric acid secretion
Premier HCL contains betaine hydrochloride, a clinically recognized compound used to support gastric acid secretion.* By helping to restore the stomach's natural acidic environment, Premier HCL assists in the breakdown of dietary protein and facilitates the proper absorption of minerals and vitamins that depend on adequate HCl levels.*
The HCL support program
For a comprehensive digestive support protocol, pair Premier HCL with Premier HCL Activator. Premier HCL Activator is formulated to nutritionally enhance betaine hydrochloride's capacity and support its broader role in whole-body health.* Together, Premier HCL and Premier HCL Activator form the HCL Support Program — an effective combination for patients requiring foundational digestive support.*

Although we pay for 2-day shipping, we cannot guarantee that you will have your shipment in 2-days because of weather, UPS or USPS shipping delays, when the order was placed (i.e. vendor does not fulfill over weekend), payment processing (we cannot fulfill order until your bank releases funds), Shopify uptime, and acts of God. We do currently offer FREE SHIPPING for Orders of $99 or more.
