Re: HCL/Pepsin, Is it harmful to teeth?

Be very careful. That stuff is strong. The capsules I give my daughter are very tiny and I'm able to take out half of the acid. So, when I saw your BIG - it really concerned me.Clare On Mar 9, 2010, at 10:41 AM, jj330923 wrote: I want to start giving my 3 year old son HCL w/ Pepsin with meals but I am concerned about it's effects on his teeth.

That stuff is super acidic. I doubt enough could be taken with food. Once I accidently bit one before swallowing it and I got a super painful burn in my esophagus. I would include ACV. ferments, and bitter herbs in meals and consider supplementing with zinc.~jessi patti I want to start giving my 3 year old son HCL w/ Pepsin with meals but I am concerned about it's effects on his teeth.
