FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Radiance DigestAid provides betaine hydrochloride and pepsin to support healthy digestion.This may help reduce symptoms of poor digestion which include indigestion, bloating, gas, flatulence, food allergy, bad breath, irregular bowel motility and signs of malnutrition.
The acid in the stomach must be of sufficient strength to break down food so it can be digested in the small intestine. Inadequate production of hydrochloric acid (HCl) is common, far more common than over acidity for which millions of antacids are prescribed yearly. The acidity of the food entering the intestine must also be sufficiently high to trigger the release of pancreatic enzymes that breakdown other food groups.
Supplemental betaine hydrochloride (hydrochloric acid) helps maintain healthy stomach acidity, which supports digestion and the breakdown of proteins. Pepsin, also included in this formula, is the primary enzyme in the stomach used to digest proteins.

Adults - Take 1 capsule (or up to eight capsules as required) during each meal.
Sit down to a meal (the largest meal of the day is preferable), after taking a few bites, take ONE capsule of Radiance® DigestAid with a minimum amount of water and proceed to finish the meal.
If you DO experience a warming sensation in the stomach (under the breast bone) or any burning discomfort within 10-15 minutes of ingestion, then you are presumably producing adequate HCl, so you DO NOT need this supplement. Drinking water or continuing to eat will eliminate any discomfort.
If you DO NOT experience any warming sensation in the stomach within 10-15 minutes of taking ONE capsule of the Radiance® DigestAid, you are most likely not producing HCl optimally.
On the next day, at the same meal (i.e. dinner), increase your dosage to TWO capsules, and so on, continuing to increase by ONE capsule PER MEAL until you DO experience a warming sensation in the stomach (under the breast bone).
Now that we have established your upper supplementation limit we need to set your regular dosage. When you experience a warming sensation in the stomach, this indicates you have more HCl than is required. So for a meal of similar size you need to reduce the number of capsules (that caused the warming sensation) by ONE. This will be your regular dosage requirement (e.g. if you felt the warming sensation with 4 capsules, your regular dosage requirement for that size meal would be 3).
Do not exceed 8-10 capsules in any one meal.
Radiance® DigestAid should be taken whenever food is eaten, the number of capsules should be adjusted according to the meal size – larger meals take more, snacks take less.
Persons who have an active ulcer, or who are taking anti-acid medications should not take HCl supplements
