This formula is designed to lower stomach pH and support the natural production of digestive agents. Betaine HCl provides a source of hydrochloric acid, while Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme specifically responsible for breaking down proteins into absorbable amino acids.
Many individuals over 40 experience a natural decline in gastric acid production, which can lead to bloating, fullness after meals, or a "heavy" feeling in the stomach. SpectraZyme helps restore the acidic environment necessary for enzymes to function properly and for the body to absorb vital nutrients like Vitamin B12, Calcium, and Iron.
No. You should always take SpectraZyme with food, specifically at the start of a meal containing protein. Taking Betaine HCl on an empty stomach can cause a warm or burning sensation and may irritate the stomach lining.
No. You should avoid this product if you have a current or prior history of peptic or duodenal ulcers. Because Betaine HCl increases stomach acidity, it can aggravate existing inflammation (gastritis) or hinder the healing of an ulcer.
No. This formula contains Pepsin derived from porcine (pig) sources. While it is Non-GMO and Gluten-Free, it is not suitable for those following a strict vegetarian or vegan diet.

"I've used Metagest for many years and take 1 everytime I have a big meal. It has helped reduced bloating and indigestion."
"Great product"
"My liver doesn't make enough acid. SpectraZyme fixes that! I now have no acid reflux. What a relief."
"Works great"
"Haven't had reflux or heartbutrn since I began using this product."
"Immediate relief when stomach is bloated. Great product!"
"My teenage daughter has been taking SpectraZyme for 7 months. This particular brand was recommended to me by two different doctors that we saw for her stomach pains related to SIBO and food sensitivities. SpectraZyme has helped relieve her stomach and aid in food digestion."
"I have been taking Metagest whenever I eat a meal (or sizable snack) for over 20 years. It was first recommended to me by a chiropractor. It contains 1300 mg of Betaine HCL plus 90 mg of Pepsin. More recently, I have tried other digestive-aids from other manufacturers — such as a product that contains ten or so various digestive enzymes. But surprisingly, those capsules caused a burning sensation in my stomach about 30 minutes after taking them. So, I’m happy to be able to still purchase Metagest. I’m sticking with it, as it works very well for me. It’s important to know this: Unless you have a sufficient amount of acid in your stomach when you eat, your body won’t signal for the food to be passed from the stomach into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)."
"Metagest digestive enzyme helps after I eat a meal to not get that bloated feeling. It is a feel better supplement for me."
"Aids in digestion. Works for me. Had a hard time finding this product and found it here. Glad I did."
