Betaine HCl and Betaine HCl for Digestion (true hypochlorhydria)
Each entry’s own grades, side by side. A grade says how strong the evidence is for one outcome — it does not rank one entry over the other.
Compound or practice
Betaine HCl
A stomach-acid supplement for 'low acid' — plausible in true hypochlorhydria, misused broadly, and risky on acid-sensitive guts.
Grade D1 graded outcomerevised Jul 10, 2026
A structured monograph in Prometheus's bundled library. Its grades are the monograph's own reading of the evidence, not a peer-reviewed review.
