Description
In Depth
DB12 shares key digestive ingredients like betaine HCl, ammonium chloride, bromelain, pepsin, and pancreatic 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, enhancing its effectiveness.
Key Features
- Hydroxocobalamin is the natural, bioavailable form of vitamin B12, produced by bacteria. This powerhouse nutrient plays a key role in supporting cell health, DNA synthesis, energy production, red blood cell formation, and even helping to prevent osteoporosis. Hydroxocobalamin is also a powerful tool in addressing macular degeneration, alleviating depression, boosting memory, and promoting healthy skin, nails, hair, and teeth.
- Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a nutrient-dense herb packed with vitamins (B, C, D, E) and essential trace minerals. Renowned for its ability to reduce inflammation and heal stomach ulcers, it also supports appetite regulation and blood sugar balance. Alfalfa’s eight digestive enzymes make it a go-to solution for tackling indigestion, gas, bloating, and nausea.
- Coleus forskohlii, rich in forskolin, promotes healthy gastric acid production and pepsinogen release, enhancing digestion. Beyond its digestive benefits, it has powerful anti-inflammatory and prebiotic properties, helping to nurture a healthy gut microbiome.
- Ammonium chloride supports the body’s digestive processes by helping produce hydrochloric acid and acting as a pH buffer. Known for its effectiveness in relieving GERD, indigestion, gas, and heartburn, it also serves as a detoxifying agent that can aid in liver health, particularly for conditions like cirrhosis.
- Pepsin is the body’s primary protein-digesting enzyme, breaking down proteins into peptides vital for cellular processes. When pepsin production is low, it can contribute to acid reflux. Pepsin not only helps close the lower esophageal sphincter, but it also signals the pancreas to release additional digestive enzymes to further support protein digestion.
- Calcium Folinate, the active form of folate (vitamin B9), is a crucial nutrient that helps prevent and correct anemia, supports cellular respiration, and aids detoxification. A vital companion to vitamin B12, folate is often lacking in modern diets but is essential for both adults and children.
- Betaine HCl goes beyond just providing hydrochloric acid for digestion; it strengthens stomach acid production, which is especially beneficial for those with low acid levels. It also helps alleviate acid reflux and supports the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, essential for overall health and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should take DB12?
DB12 is beneficial for anyone needing digestive support, particularly those with vitamin B12 deficiencies, low stomach acid, or digestive discomfort. It is also ideal for individuals who struggle with nutrient absorption or need assistance with breaking down proteins and digesting fats. However, those with specific medical conditions or taking medications should consult a healthcare professional before use.
How does DB12 support vitamin B12 absorption?
DB12 helps the body absorb vitamin B12 by supporting the production of intrinsic factor, which is crucial for vitamin B12 absorption in the small intestine. By ensuring that intrinsic factor is produced efficiently, DB12 facilitates the proper uptake of vitamin B12, which is vital for energy, nerve function, and overall cellular health.
What is intrinsic factor, and why is it important?
Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein produced by the stomach’s parietal cells. It’s essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Without sufficient intrinsic factor, your body cannot absorb enough vitamin B12, leading to potential deficiencies that affect energy levels, cell health, and nerve function. DB12 helps support the production of intrinsic factor to ensure effective vitamin B12 absorption.
