What Makes Us Different
Most supplement companies cut corners where you can't see - using overseas manufacturing, skipping independent testing and loading products with gut-irritating fillers. We take the harder, more expensive path because your gut health deserves better than “industry-standard”.
Third-Party Tested In The USA
Most companies only test their products internally - we do both. Our formulas get tested in-house, then verified again by independent ISO-certified labs where scientists screen for contaminants and validate our allergen-free promises. Because we believe your gut health journey deserves nothing less than exceptional quality.

United StatesHCL Betaine always helps!
I’ve been taking HCL betaine for a few weeks now and it has helped greatly with my digestion and regularity! Especially with large meals or foods I’m not used to eating.
United Statesa cure
after years of struggling eating anything at all didn't matter if it was chicken or rice or fast food or salad I was so sick all the time I take two of these every time I eat, and if I'm having a heavy meal three, however my only complaint is that it was on back order and out of stock for 2 1/2 months and I was so sick for those 2 1/2 months when it finally came back I ordered 10 bottles Please don't let that ever happen again. People like me really rely on this product.
United StatesBest supplement out there
I don’t go without it especially for high protein meals. I’ve had to try other HCls out there and they either had horrific smelling and tasting ingredients or they didn’t work well. Essential Stacks formulates the best one out there. My gut continues to heal with this and their Glutamine! Thank you ES!
United StatesHealing in a bottle…
Upgraded Betaine HCl has transformed my gut. Using this along with L Glutamine for the past year has brought so much healing and relief to my leaky gut! These products really work when used along with a diet that avoids delayed food allergens (IgG panel is always recommended) we all have some foods our bodies don’t like so it’s best to find out what those are! Great products. I don’t go without them!
United StatesImproved Digestion
No more digestion discomfort and improved bowel movements.
United StatesBest Customer Service EVER
Besides their exceptional products Essential Stacks have THE best Customer Service ever! I live abroad and my country has rules that are too strict on imports. Not only did they find me a company that allows international shipments, but I was also reimbursed for 1 product that customs had blocked. All this while replying to each of my emails with kindness, understanding and the firm intention of always finding an appropriate solution. As I'm in the recovery phase, I buy a lot of supplements, so I have to deal with a lot of international companies. ES takes the cake by far! THANK YOU !
