- 1:3000 Pepsin
Pepsin is the powerful enzyme in gastric juice that breaks down dietary proteins such as those in meat, eggs, seeds, and dairy products. The body produces pepsin in response to eating protein, but insufficient amounts may prevent the proper dismantling of ingested protein. Supplemental pepsin encourages a more complete break down of dietary protein and frees amino acids so they can participate in a number of life sustaining functions within the body.
In the stomach pepsin participates in the partial degradation of proteins into smaller units called peptides, which are absorbed from the intestine into the bloodstream or are broken down further by pancreatic enzymes.
Small amounts of pepsin pass from the stomach into the bloodstream, where it breaks down some of the larger, or still partially undigested, fragments of protein that may have been absorbed by the small intestine.*
Pepsin may enhance the body’s natural metabolism and may assist in the process of removing waste and toxins from the intestines.*
Pepsin is activated in an acidic environment, such as the stomach, but it will not digest the body’s own proteins in the stomach lining. Because pepsin and hydrochloric acid (HCL) work together to break down your food, healthcare professionals recommend taking pepsin at the same time you take your HCL supplements.*
What does 1:3000 mean?

We don’t outsource to the lowest bidder.
Guaranteed Authenticity: Every batch of Pepsin is carefully sourced and undergoes rigorous testing for ID, purity, potency, and microbiology before, during, and after manufacturing.
Just Pure Ingredients: At Dr. Clark Store, we stand against adulteration. Our rigorous testing reveals that an estimated 30% of bulk supplement powders in the U.S. market contain added fillers and/or come from incorrect species or plant parts. Unlike importers who operate according to FDA 21 CFR 117 and often rely on analyses done by the manufacturer abroad, we conduct thorough tests on all incoming materials in our full-size laboratory, guaranteeing the integrity of our products.
Carrageenan and Surfactant-Free Capsules: FDA regulation 21 CFR 101.100(a)(3)(ii) allows manufacturers to avoid disclosing ingredients in food if present at “insignificant” levels. This is why "Veggie Capsules" may contain carrageenan. Dr. Clark Store ensures the use of only the finest BSE-free gelatin capsules, free from carrageenan, surfactants, and prion risks. Our dedication to purity dates back over 30 years, ensuring safety and quality in line with Dr. Hulda Clark's original vision.
No Magnesium Stearate and No Hidden Processing Aids: True to Dr. Clark's vision, we never use magnesium stearate or any toxic processing aids in our products. Our commitment to transparency means all ingredients are clearly declared on the label, offering you peace of mind and a product you can trust. Again because of FDA’s lacking regulation 21 CFR 101, many brands contain magnesium stearate without it being declared on the label.
Verifiable GMP Certification: Trust is earned, not given. That's why we back up our GMP certification claims with verifiable evidence. Partnering with VeriGMP®, a UL-certified company, we adhere to strict GMP quality systems, ensuring that each product meets the highest standards of manufacturing and quality assurance.

What is Pepsin?
Pepsin is a powerful digestive enzyme that the body produces to aid in the breakdown of proteins. It is primarily found in the stomach, where it works effectively in an acidic environment. Without enough pepsin, your body struggles to digest food properly, which can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like bloating and indigestion. By taking pepsin supplements, you can enhance your protein digestion, ensuring that your body absorbs the nutrients it needs.
Benefits of Taking Pepsin Supplements
Incorporating pepsin into your diet can offer numerous benefits. First, it improves digestion, allowing for optimal nutrient absorption. This is particularly important for individuals with digestive disorders or those who consume high-protein diets. Additionally, pepsin can help reduce symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux by breaking down food more efficiently, which minimizes the pressure on your stomach.
How to Use Pepsin Effectively
To maximize the benefits of pepsin supplements, it's crucial to follow the recommended dosage. Typically, a dose of 700 mg is effective for most individuals. However, always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen. It's also beneficial to take pepsin with meals for increased effectiveness. Remember, consistency is key to achieving the best results!
