PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Betaine HCL 1 lb, No Additives or Fillers, Lab-Verified Supplement

No fillers! Awesome price for pure ingredients

PURE ORIGINAL INGREDIENTS Betaine HCL 1 lb, No Additives or Fillers,My husband is experimenting with supplementing while lifting and working out, and wanted to try Betaine, AKA Trimethylglycine for helping with performance and muscle growth. We love it that it is just the pure Betaine, without any other unnecessary ingredients. As I write this it is about $14 for a full pound. That seems like a great deal. We are thinking of making our own capsules with this and trying it out for a while. Will report back if there are any significant findings.

I was alarmed out it felt as if it was destroying tooth enamel and my soft tissue lining as I drank the powder - even after diluting twice. So I researched how to ingest this properly and found a unbiased clinical study that recommends NEVER to ingest in powder form but rather capsules. I didn't know this before purchasing and just trusted the company did this basic research before selling the product. I also naively believed the item could be returned as it is listed. However this is not the case as I tried to return it. I have been an Amazon member for over a decade and only returned a handful of items, it is not my MO but I decided this was too egregious and I wanted to warn others. You can easily google the study with a search, "how to ingest betaine HCL".

I recently purchased your product and was quite surprised to find that it has a peculiar taste – very salty, almost like drinking ocean water with an aftertaste. Is this flavor characteristic of the product? I would appreciate some clarification on this matter. Thank you.
