Systemic Formulas DB12

DB12 shares key digestive ingredients like betaine HCl, ammonium chloride, pepsin, and enzymes, similar to Systemic Formulas’ D – Digest and Ds – Digest S formulas. However, DB12 stands out for its specific support for the stomach’s parietal and chief cells. These cells are responsible for producing intrinsic factor, a glycoprotein essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Parietal cells also produce hydrochloric acid, while chief cells produce pepsin, both critical for digestion. DB12 also includes botanicals that further support the digestive process.

Key features

• Hydroxocobalamin is the natural, bioavailable form of vitamin B12, produced by bacteria. It plays a key role in cellular health, DNA synthesis, energy metabolism, healthy red blood cell formation, and bone density. Hydroxocobalamin also supports clear vision, balanced mood, memory, and the health of skin, nails, hair, and teeth.
• Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a nutrient-dense herb packed with vitamins (B, C, D, E) and essential trace minerals. It supports a balanced inflammatory response and the natural repair processes of the stomach lining, and its digestive enzymes support occasional digestive discomfort.
• Coleus forskohlii, rich in forskolin, promotes healthy gastric acid production and pepsinogen release, enhancing digestion, and supports a healthy gut microbiome.
• Ammonium chloride supports the body’s digestive processes by helping produce hydrochloric acid and acting as a pH buffer, and supports liver health.
• Pepsin is the body’s primary protein-digesting enzyme, breaking down proteins into peptides vital for cellular processes and prompting the release of additional enzymes to further support protein digestion.
• Calcium Folinate, a form of folate (vitamin B9), promotes healthy red blood cell production, supports cellular energy metabolism, and contributes to natural detoxification processes. As a vital companion to vitamin B12, folate is often lacking in modern diets.
• Betaine HCl supports natural stomach acid production, which is especially beneficial for those with low acid levels, and supports the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.
