Rootcology by Dr. Izabella Wentz | Betaine with Pepsin | 750mg Betaine HCl with 50mg Pepsin for Digestion Support | 120 Capsules

I had my gallbladder removed due to stones over 10 years ago and have suffered with miserable GI symptoms and a generally inability to absorb/process fats since then. Was never warned or advised by the doc that I might have these problems, which snowballed into difficulty eating ANYTHING without GI discomfort. Additionally, was diagnosed Hypothyroid and then Hashimotos. I decided to try Dr. Wentz's enzyme protocol, starting with Liver/Gallbladder, Betaine with Pepsin and Wobenzym N. I am honestly surprised and extremely happy with the results. About 2.5 weeks in with these products and already can tell a difference. Not only have my GI symptoms been reduced by about 75%, I can tell I am actually absorbing my food and medications better. Yes, they're a little spendy, but IMHO, well worth it. I have found that taking the Betain with Pepsin about 1/2 way through or AFTER a meal with protein works best. I take one with fish/seafood/poultry, two with a red meat meal.

This product helps be breakdown proteins more effectively. I have hypothyroidism and it was recommended by my naturopath. Will buy it again.

Bought this product a year ago, hoping it with hrlp my bowel issues. Gave me the runs. I tried to return it but couldn't get hold of distributer ever! I feel so cheated for not getting a hearing about my complaint. It's still in my frig because I hate to throw something away that's so costly. Just don't know what to do about it.

Too harsh. Skip the pepsin in products.

Bought This to help with my Hashimotos, as recommended by the dr. So far so good! Seems to help with energy.

I was diagnosed with Hoshimotos 20 years ago. I have started a journey to see if I can’t feel better because I don’t remember what feeling well feels like. Tums have always been a staple in my cabinet and I have always felt tired. Ohhhh M G, why did I wait so long to try this?!! After two days I am already way more awake and have taken zero tums! I can’t believe people can feel this awake and not think about their acid reflux! If you are hesitant just try it because my life is changed ❤️

This made me gain weight. If you think about it, it makes sense...increased digestion leads to increased nutrient absorption but also caloric absorption. So I guess it did its job but the impact wasn't what I wanted. The internet often talk about digestive enzymes and allude to weight loss but it's not necessarily true. It depends on the person, their condition, their food intake, and how their body was handling digestion and absorption prior. Increase absorption and weight gain isn't in-and-of-itself bad: I saw online someone who works with chemo patients looking for recommendations for enzymes so that their patients can get the max benefit from what little they can eat. I think for most people though, weight gain isn't their intention.

I love this! I suffered from Hashimotos (for a long time before discovering it) extreme exhaustion as well. I love these. I take 3 after lunch and dinner or a meal with protein. I used to get to the point of needing a nap after lunch and now I do not. I have energy all day! There are days I forget to take them and after a few missed meals I can notice the difference (fatigue starts alittle). So I know they are working and it’s not just thyroid med and diet change. I also do not take them after my smoothie with protein in the morning. Only when I eat fish, poultry or red meat. On my third bottle!
