Betafood® by Standard Process- FAQ & Review

By Dr. Candy Akers

Betafood® was developed in 1943 by Standard Process. It has been helping people improve their liver health naturally ever since then. It is a valuable supplement for promoting healthy liver function and digestion. Its ingredients, including beet juice, support the body's natural detoxification process and help break down fats. I recommend it to clients who are struggling with digestive issues, such as bloating, constipation, or poor nutrient absorption, as well as those looking to support their liver health. 

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

Freedom from anti-acid medications. I have been able to live with no anti-acids after years of dependence on them. What a comfort! - knowing - I am no longer destroying the lining of my intestines with these OTC meds that were (in disguise) slowing killing me. Betafood has given me this new means of freedom from anti-acids

My Chiropractor/Naturopath had me take this when I was pregnant and was having very bad morning sickness. After taking it 5 tablets one time a day for several days the sickness was gone!! After a month or so I decided to see if it really worked or if my sickness was gone. After a few days off of Beta Food the nausea was back with a vengeance. It is wrong that every woman and persons involved in prenatal care don't know about this miracle food supplement.
