    Default use of hcl supplements?

    hi--

    after months, I finally sourced out and was able to obtain a vegan hcl supplement (can only get it outside the us and canada...), and want to see if perhaps low stomach acid has been the source of some of my health problems. can anyone advise as to use and dosage? also, whats the best time to take the capsules? i.e. before, after, during a meal? when will they best assist with digestion?

    thanks much

    kaybee

    This company is based in Austin, Texas - all of their supplements are vegan, even the gel caps. The purest supplements I have found - nothing added as other ingredients.

    This website has the best descriptions and literature - http://www.qnlabs.com/, but can also order from Dr. Marshall's website - http://www.healthline.cc/

    This is the information on their HCL. I believe it tells you when to take it...

    This HCL activator is also recommended for people with digestive problems - http://www.qnlabs.com/qnpdfs/QN%20HCL%20Activator.pdf

    I have a friend (in her 50's) who has had digestive problems since childhood, and these 2 supplements were the answer to her prayers!

    hey thanks--good to know there is something in the states since i am coming back soon. i couldnt find anything when i was at home that was vegan, because everything had animal products added even if the betaine hcl was vegan. ive been in europe for the summer so i just got a couple bottles of some from england; seems they wont sell/ship any of their products to US/Canada because of US liability issues. ill definitely check out the website you posted. thx

    A friend of mine tried yohimbine hcl, it sure worked for him, he lost weight and got some serious fat burned off, on a side note, he said his libido was on a high as well. He bought the stuff cheap off amazon.com, there were some offers that came with free caffeine, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Primaforce-Yoh...dp/B00812H92G/
