First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether betaine hydrochloride, a dietary supplement, can safely lower high gastrin levels in people with autoimmune gastritis. High gastrin is linked to an increased risk of stomach tumors. Sixty participants will receive either betaine or a placebo before meals for up to three months. The goal is to see if this simple approach can reduce tumor risk.
