Betaine is a derivative of the amino acid glycine, which occurs naturally in the body and forms gastric juice. The action of betaine is related to the proper metabolism of the liver. In cells, it is an excellent osmoregulator, which is why it is of great importance in maintaining their water balance. Betaine is also involved in the formation of numerous compounds that are crucial for protein metabolism. Its unique property is participation in the proper process of homocysteine ​​metabolism - Betaine contributes to the maintenance of normal homocysteine ​​metabolism, and its beneficial effect occurs when 1.5 g of betaine is consumed daily.

Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme, a component of gastric juice. Pepsin's task is to break the peptide bonds in the middle of the polypeptide chain and divide them into shorter sections. Pepsin breaks peptide bonds that are formed by aromatic amino acids, leucine and glutamic acid. This enzyme is secreted as an inactive pepsinogen which is converted into its active form in the stomach by hydrochloric acid.
