Pepsin hydrolyses all types of proteins, reducing them to polypeptides |
|
|
HCl provides the optimal environment (around pH 2) for pepsin activity |
|
|
Adequate levels of HCl are required for the absorption of minerals such as iron, calcium and zinc |
|
|
HCl provides an inhibitory environment for potential pathogenic bacteria ingested with food |
|
|
Encapsulation allows for a quicker release of the ingredients and reduces the likelihood of gastric wall irritation that can sometimes occur with tablets |
