Your opinion McBain II?

Why are you worried about protein absorption? Do you have hypochlorhydria because most people absorb protein just fine.

From WebMD:

Betaine is found naturally in the body. Betaine hydrochloride is a man-made form of betaine previously used as a source of hydrochloric acid.

Betaine hydrochloride[note by WW: this is the same as HCL Pepsin] was previously available as an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine to increase stomach acid in people with low stomach acid. But the US FDA banned its use in OTC products due to a lack of information about whether it is safe and effective.

Betaine hydrochloride is used for many conditions, including diarrhea, increasing stomach acid, and others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support any use.

I never stated nor implied I was worried.

As people age they don’t absorb protein as well.

Solaray is a large brand that sells HCL Pepsin. NOW brand also.

I take it. I’ve never had problems.

Not too familiar with it but some quick research showed mixed results.

I'm using a new tracking app called Cronometer. My bone doctor is encouraging me to get to 1 g per pound. So far everything I've eaten and drank are in the database, even supplements. For now I'm just using the free version and it's been very helpful.
