Synergest is a digestive aid designed to support optimal acidity levels in the stomach to facilitate better digestion. Synergest also contains Pepsin (a proteolytic enzyme) to enhance protein breakdown and support enzyme activity.
Synergest comes formulated in a specifically designed rapid release capsule, so the ingredients (Betaine HCL with Pepsin) are released quickly into your stomach, for instant digestive support exactly when (and where) you need it!
Indigestion affects millions of people every day and is often brought on by eating:
- Fatty foods
- Spicy foods
- Simple carbohydrates (bread and pasta)
But for some, indigestion can be brought about by low hydrochloric acid (HCl) content in the stomach, which can be worsened by:
- Stress
- Ageing
- Antacid overuse
- Gall bladder removal
Low HCl can also adversely affect digestive enzyme activity which can lead to gas, bloating and other forms of gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort.
Maldigestion (another symptom of low HCl) can also lead to digestive problems and poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in vitamin deficiencies (particularly fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K).
But, although stomach acid has been given a 'bad wrap' of late, HCl secretion in the stomach actually has several positive benefits:
- It assists protein digestion by activating pepsinogen to pepsin
- It renders the stomach sterile against ingested pathogens
- It inhibits undesirable overgrowth in the small intestine
- It encourages the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes
Hydrochloric acid also facilitates the absorption of a number of nutrients, including:
- Folate (Vitamin B9)
- Cobalamin (Vitamin B12)
- Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
- Beta-carotene
- Iron
As well as certain forms of:
Which is exactly why we created Synergest! A stomach acid optimiser (complete with added Pepsin) to facilitate better protein breakdown and the release of enzymes for more efficient digestion.

Or use as professionally directed.
*Synergest is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers.
*Synergest should not be used concurrently with:
- OTC Antacids
- H2-blocking drugs
- Proton pump inhibitors
As these drugs are intended to block the production of stomach HCl and work in direct opposition to Betaine HCl.
