Frequently asked questions

No. Added HCl is not appropriate with active ulcer disease or gastritis. A practitioner should rule this out first.

Ox bile-containing formulas are commonly used post-cholecystectomy to support fat digestion, but should be introduced under practitioner guidance.

With meals, so enzymes and HCl are present as food enters the stomach.

These overlap in function; a practitioner typically selects one or the other based on whether HCl/bile support is specifically needed.
