Betaine HCl for low stomach acid

2019-04-13 03:34:02
I have low stomach acid and was advised to take Betaine HCl with pepsin tablet before each meal. I started out with 1 tablet and it’s gone up to 4 now and I still don’t feel any warm sensation or burning up in my stomach. Is it okay to up the dosage to 5 tablets before each meal? Is this something to be worried about?
