Thorne Research offers hydrochloric acid and pure pepsin from a porcine source. Do not use if you are sensitive to pancreatic enzymes and/or pork proteins. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain/epigastric pain and/or heartburn have been known to occur, in which case discontinue use (and consult a health-care practitioner).Please be advised that Well.ca follows manufacturer guidelines for storing & shipping probiotics.
