While occasional indigestion may be a\nresult of acid irritating tissue in the structure above the stomach known as\nthe esophagus, a line of research suggests that the cause of this irritation\nmay actually be less than optimal stomach acid production. Stomach acid is\nnormally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and the function of\nstomach acid is to break down food that enters the stomach into smaller\nfragments and nutrient components. These components move through the stomach\ninto the small intestine where they are further broken down by digestive\nenzymes in the upper part of the small intestine. Individual nutrients that\nresult from the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates can then be\nabsorbed and assimilated by the body and used for metabolism and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eBETAINE HCL\/PEPSIN\/GENTIAN BITTERS contains three nutritional factors that perform complementary functions designed to support the efficiency of the digestive process.
