HCL 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.

a 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.

Best 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!

Healing 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!

Best 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 !

60-Day Money Back Guarantee

We stand behind every bottle.

Try any Essential Stacks product completely risk-free for 60 days. Not satisfied? Get a full refund - even if the bottle is empty. No questions asked, no explanations needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When should I take Upgraded Betaine HCL?

    Take 1 capsule at the beginning of a meal that contains a significant amount of dietary protein and fat (approximately 20 grams or more of protein). If you forget to take it right before the first bite, this digestive aid can still be effective if taken during your meal.

  • How should I take it?

    Swallow it in capsule form. Do not open the capsule.

  • How many servings / days supply?

    Each bottle contains 120 capsules. A serving size is one capsule. If you eat just one protein-rich meal per day, one bottle of Upgraded Betaine HCL will last you 4 months. And if you eat two such meals a day, then one bottle will last 2 months.

  • How should I store this?

    Upgraded Betaine HCL does not need to be refrigerated. Store it in a cool, dry place.

  • Does it contain gluten, dairy or soy?

    No. Plus, it is 3rd party verified gluten, dairy and soy free.

  • Can I take Upgraded Betaine HCL with other Essential Stacks products?

    Yes, it pairs well with our plant-based 18 digestive enzyme blend, Pure Enzymes. Meanwhile, if you take one of our probiotic supplements, we recommend taking it at least 1-2 hours before or after taking Upgraded Betaine HCL.

  • Can children take Upgraded Betaine HCL?

    We like to err on the safe side when it comes to children. So please consult with your child’s healthcare provider to determine if Betaine HCL is okay for them and what the appropriate dose would be.

  • Can pregnant or nursing mothers take Upgraded Betaine HCL?

    Since research involving expecting- and breastfeeding mothers taking Betaine HCL is lacking, we recommend you consult your physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

  • Can I take it with my medications?

    If you are taking any medications, please consult your physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
