Alkaloids

 Betaine Hydrochloride may be useful for the treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO). Hypochlorhydria (lack of Hydrochloric Acid) patients have an increased risk of SIBO.  Betaine Hydrochloride is a source of supplemental Hydrochloric Acid that may eliminate Hypochlorhydria and therefore eliminate the underlying cause of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome. 

Microorganisms

 Optimal levels of Bacteria - Beneficial in the Gastrointestinal Tract may help to prevent Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome.  This occurs via Beneficial Bacteria suppressing Detrimental Bacteria in the Small Intestine:  [1]
