I've been zero carb and adding extra salt since May 2021.

I've increased my salt intake to 3 tsp's per day. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5053982/ Low and zero carb needs. The increase in salt stopped my nocturnal leg and feet cramps.

It's the protein and fats that are both essential in carbs, not the sugars....... and that goes for anywhere in the world. We can survive on just proteins and fats. Check out the protein and fat content in grains fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. The dietary sugars in carbohydrates "are not...

That's not how it works, there's a protocol. 1 to 2 capsules a day is the minimum. for low stomach acid That is the starting point. to supplement with I was down to 8 capsules. https://healthygut.com/how-to-supplement-with-betaine-hcl-for-low-stomach-acid/

I have told the website owner about it. It's in one of my earlier posts on this thread. This isn't the first time. It's happened with several other brands. I've also been in contact with the manufacturers of the product. Just waiting for their reply.

Reading the back of the pack or bottle doesn't do much good, or help anyone if the hidden ingredient maltodextrin isn't mentioned or shown before purchasing the product does it?

Lowering my HCL could have something to do with it. My blood sugars rose before I noticed the added Maltodextrin ingredient on the bottle, I cut my Betaine Hydrochloride + Pepsin dosage down from 8 to 2 capsules per day, I'm now having digestive problems " I'm not being able to digest my...
