SP Standard Process
Overview
This supplement combines betaine hydrochloride, pepsin, a proprietary blend and additional ingredients such as ammonium chloride, magnesium citrate and calcium lactate, designed to support digestion and overall health. However, the effectiveness of this specific combination lacks robust clinical evidence, especially for betaine hydrochloride. While individual ingredients have research supporting certain benefits, the overall efficacy of this product remains uncertain due to the use of a proprietary blend and ambiguous doses for many of the main components.
