Medverita Betaine + Pepsin 120 capsules

The dietary supplement Medverita Betaine + Pepsin 120 capsules is a product containing betaine HCL and pepsin, ingredients that facilitate the digestive process, in the form of a convenient capsule. It contains no preservatives or additional filler substances.

Food digestion is the breakdown of large food particles into smaller, absorbable nutrients necessary for energy production, growth, and cell repair. Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of large food particles into smaller pieces accessible to digestive enzymes through chemical digestion. Chemical digestion is the enzymatic breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into small amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids.

Betaine is a compound similar to glycine, containing three methyl groups. Hence its other name, trimethylglycine. It is an osmoprotective compound, meaning a small, well-soluble organic compound that accumulates in large amounts in cells without interfering with their function. These compounds protect cells against osmotic stress, such as hyperosmolarity, which causes water to flow out of the cell, leading to its shrinkage and death. Additionally, it is a methyl group donor involved in methylation, for example of DNA and proteins. [1]

Its second function is homocysteine metabolism. Excess homocysteine in the blood is associated with the risk of many diseases, such as strokes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain neurodegenerative disorders.

Pepsin, on the other hand, is an enzyme—an endopeptidase—that breaks down dietary proteins arriving in the stomach into individual amino acids. It acts by digesting peptide bonds, the predominant chemical bonds in proteins. Physiologically, its inactive form, pepsinogen, is present in the stomach. A low pH (1.5 to 2) activates pepsinogen, which transforms into pepsin. [2]

In summary, Medverita Betaine + Pepsin 120 capsules is a dietary supplement containing a complex of betaine and pepsin. By providing a protein-degrading enzyme, it facilitates the digestive process and actively supports the liver. The product contains no unnecessary synthetic fillers or preservatives.
