Ive suffered for years with a chronic cough that's only gotten worse with age, despite treatment for everything from allergies to asthma to ear infections to nervous system issues by a variety of doctors. But last year, unable to sleep because of constant fits of coughing I insisted my doctor send me to specialists for testing. No asthma, no allergies. Although I didnt feel symptoms of indigestion, my doctor suggested GERD and put me on Prilosec for 2 weeks. It helped until I stopped taking it and the acid reflux was so bad my doctor suggested Zantac, to avoid the side effects of Prilosec, especially since I already have osteoporosis. It didnt help, so I bought some more Prilosec OTC, and then some more. Worried about the longtern consequences, I weaned myself off it and started carrying a bottle of Tums with me wherever I went. I was eating them constantly, along with nighttime cough medication at bedtime, but the coughing still kept me, and my partner, awake at night. Frustrated by the lack of relief, I took the advice of a relative who suggested digestive enzymes and supplements such as ginger, turmeric, and licorice. I tried several formulations without noticeable improvement. Then a neighbor told me how HCl had helped her. I remember reading how stomach acid decreases with age. D,esperate for relief, I did a search on Amazon and found this product. As soon as I started taking these, my cough began to subside. I'm skeptical of miracle cures, so I kept taking them to see if the relief would last and after several months, the cough hasn't returned, even though I often forget to take these until after I've finished eating, even until bedtime, but they work anyway. As an extra benefit, since taking them my chronic constipation is also much improved. I haven't yet told my doctor but will at my next annual check up. I hope I can convince him to suggest these to all his patients with stomach issues. Read more

Since taking this product I can tell my digestion has improved. I feel more comfortable after eating with less bloating. It has become a big part of healing my gut. I would recommend to anyone suffering from leaky gut or other digestive issues. Read more

I have serious chronic gi issues that include slow digestion, slow bowels, slow everything resulting from complicated nerve damage - so much I have limited my diet to so few things and had to cut out most foods (no meat, no gluten, no nightshades, no beans, no to most nuts, no rice, no dairy) and struggle keeping weight on. I constantly have problems even with my limited, yet very nourishing diet. Not even being dramatic, I lost my “umph” for life due to constant pain and wondering how long my body can put up with the literal constant flare ups. I’ve tried so many things. I thought I was stuck and would never find anything that really worked like it said.I could cry. This DOES!!! I can’t believe it.. I am so thankful for the relief I never thought I’d get! The constant bloating, gone. Constantly feeling full like I’ll vomit, gone. Constant, scary level of constipation, GONE. Awful, constant pain, GONE. I feel more like myself, I can breathe better (that’s how bad I’d stay stopped up), and I can think clearer because I’m not so sick feeling. I am not 100% back to my old self, but no lie I am so close to it I will be beyond happy if I can feel like this for the rest of my life.I take one before most meals, unless I’m eating light and not a lot of protein. I am going to start trying more foods again because this is allowing me to eat some things I haven’t been able to tolerate in a long time, like oats.I definitely recommend this for people with complicated gi issues.

The Ox bile in this is good if you are having problems digesting fats (your poop floats). I take 3 each meal for 150 mg of Ox bile and supplement with cheaper Betaine's, usually a total of 3,000 mg total Betaine per meal. I am apohydrochloric, my stomach makes no HCl. I highly suggest MagSRT, a time release magnesium supplement as well, because Mg helps metabolize body fat.Be careful with BAD, Bile Acid Diarrhea. If you take too much bile your body will eliminate it along with a lot of nutrients. You will have mud like poop in dirty yellow brown water. I took TUDCA for 10 days and several days afterwards could not use this product. I think my gallbladder finally kicked in because I suddenly got really bad BAD. Just be careful because it will make you feel progressively sicker and sicker and you may not know why Read more

Reluctantly tried this brand after my usual HCL was unavailable. This one is more expensive, but it appears to be higher quality. I find that the broader spectrum of ingredients (apparently sans added fillers) has been helpful for my needs, particularly the Ox bile.I also find that despite the amount of HCL per capsule being lower than what I’m used to, I find that I can sometimes get away with taking less capsules with each meal without experiencing adverse effects (my health issues are severe enough where I need to take multiple caps with each meal).Overall, seems like a high quality product. As long as I continue to experience positive results from it, I plan to stick with this brand. Read more
