Trace Elements HCL V-Plus 90 Tablets – Advanced Digestive Support with Betaine HCL
Trace Elements HCL V-Plus (90 Tablets) is formulated to enhance digestive health by providing Betaine Hydrochloride (HCL), an essential component for achieving optimal gastric pH. Proper stomach acidity is necessary for the complete digestion of proteins and the absorption of vital nutrients. In addition to Betaine HCL, this formula includes Gentian Root, Protease 3.0 (derived from aspergillus niger), and Lipase, making it ideal for improving protein digestion and fat metabolism. Enhanced with Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride), HCL V-Plus supports effective digestion and nutrient utilization.
HCL V-Plus is designed for individuals who need supplemental digestive support to optimize protein breakdown and nutrient absorption. This advanced formula combines Betaine HCL with plant-based enzymes, including Protease 3.0 and Lipase, which are stable at low pH levels. This provides additional digestive assistance, particularly for those with insufficient stomach acid. The inclusion of Gentian Root, a traditional digestive tonic, further enhances digestive function, while Thiamine (Vitamin B1) aids in metabolism. This hypoallergenic formula is free from common allergens and artificial additives.

The bottle says take one tablet a day with a meal. That is the generic label default, and it is almost never what a hair tissue mineral analysis actually calls for.
A lab report prescribes a schedule written as three numbers — morning, noon and evening:
| On your report | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | One tablet, once a day |
| 1-1-0 | One in the morning, one at noon, none in the evening |
| 1-1-1 | One with each of the three meals |
| 2-1-1 | Two in the morning, one at noon, one in the evening |
| 2-2-1 | Two, two, then one |
| 1-1-2 | One, one, then two — weighted to the evening |
| 3-3-3 | Three with each meal, nine a day in total |
Those are examples rather than a complete list. The amounts come from your own oxidation rate and mineral ratios, so a formula the label treats as a once-a-day supplement may be prescribed several times a day on a chart — or only in the morning, or not at all.
So do not work out how long a bottle will last from the label. Work it out from your schedule. On 3-3-3, a 180-count bottle is twenty days, not six months.
If you have a report and are not sure how to read it, send it over — walking people through their own numbers is exactly what the text support is for.
Betaine hydrochloride with gentian and acid-stable enzymes addresses low stomach acid rather than enzyme capacity. Low stomach acid is common in slow oxidation, and it matters more than people expect: minerals need an acidic stomach to be freed from food and absorbed, so a mineral program can underperform simply because the first step is not happening.
Start low. Too much too soon is uncomfortable, and the amount that suits someone varies widely.

Low stomach acid is far more common than most people realise, particularly in slow oxidation, and it undermines a mineral program from the very first step. Start low with this one. Too much too soon is uncomfortable and puts people off something that would have suited them at a smaller dose.
I came to hair analysis in 2010, under ARNP Julie Walker in Kennewick, Washington, and worked directly with Analytical Research Labs — testing family and friends until I could read a chart properly. I listened to every cassette tape Dr. Paul Eck recorded and read every newsletter that laboratory published. When I found out a degree in Nutritional Balancing existed, I signed up with Dr. Larry Wilson in August 2011, and I have practised independently since the autumn of 2017. The most useful thing I can offer is not a longer product list — it is help reading your own chart and adjusting between tests. Mineral patterns almost always shift on a retest, and watching that happen chart to chart is where the real learning is. I hand-select the formulas and the absorbable forms that consistently help people feel and function better.
How I am available to you. If you order a hair analysis, you get text support from me while you are on the program — retracing and detox questions are best answered as they happen, not weeks later. It takes about three months to train someone to understand what is going on and adjust their own program between tests, and that is the goal. Our Facebook group is free to join whether or not you have bought anything: ask questions there and read through the tips already shared.
I also work in order of priorities, to fit your budget. Some people go all out for longevity; others take only what their hair analysis calls for, once a day. Both are worth doing. Tell me where you are and we will start there.
Matched to your chart. Trace Elements formulas are designed to be selected from Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis results rather than chosen from symptoms, because the same product can suit one oxidation pattern well and another poorly. If you are unsure whether this one fits you, a hair analysis answers that from your own numbers.

Expert Guidance for HCL V-PLUS – Trace Nutrients™ – #153 (90 tabs) Supplementation
For optimal results, HCL V-PLUS supplements should be used in conjunction with individualized recommendations from a Health Practitioner trained in Hair Analysis. During pregnancy, these supplements are considered safe to use based on standard recommendations. However, if you are breastfeeding, it is essential to re-run an HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) test to ensure tailored guidance from a qualified practitioner.
The recommended dosage of HCL V-PLUS by Trace Elements supplements is typically tailored to individual needs, based on the results of an HTMA test. As a general guideline, the recommended daily dose ranges from one (1) to three (3) tablets, taken two to three times per day with meals. To guarantee the most effective and safe use, it is essential to consult a qualified Health Practitioner skilled in Hair Analysis. If an HTMA test is not available, please follow the dosing instructions provided on the supplement packaging and consult with a healthcare professional.
Each bottle of HCL V-PLUS by Trace Nutrients™ contains 90 tablets, and when used per the suggested guidelines, this can yield a supply that lasts between 10 to 90 days. The actual duration is primarily influenced by individual dosage needs and consumption habits.
