I was taking 12 capsules with a high protein meal some months back and I began late Sept 2013 early October and increased daily before reaching 12 capsules of the Now Betaine hcl.

Since then I read that Malic Acid helps the stomach to produce acid and pepsin so I purchased some of that. It's a lot cheaper than buying hcl capsules. What I get from TradeIngredients is in fairly large granules which will only stack up a small amount on a teaspoon before it will stack no further. I take a teaspoon as full as possible, which is a little more than slightly heaped. To that I add a heaped tsp of Xylitol and this reminds me so much of Granny Smith apples which I have always loved the taste of, a slightly sweet and sour flavour. To this I add one drop of Clove essential oil in a glass of water about 200ml/7 floz full.

Since starting drinking this in mid December I have been able to reduce the number of hcl capsules down to 4 for the exact same meal, so a third less. Occasionally, I do get a slight burning sensation, particularly when I move around so there does seem to be sufficient acid. I do only drink this with my meal and nothing else.

I am pleased because Malic Acid costs me a lot less than hcl capsules. Not yet a 100% solution but a definite improvement. Plus it saves me money which is always welcome.
