What clinical-grade means

Same core. Different pattern.

Clinical-grade means the system was built with a clear architecture: a shared MGB+ Core, transparent doses, and pattern-specific formulas.

01

The MGB+ Core

Lipid-soluble B1 paired with magnesium glycinate is the shared base layer in Clear, Cool, and Calm.

02

Real doses, no blends

Every active ingredient is listed in milligrams. No proprietary blends. No hiding the formula.

03

Pattern-specific support

Clear, Cool, and Calm start with the same core, then add targeted ingredients for different gut-brain patterns.

What it helps you get back

Less guessing. More steady days.

The point is not to understand an entire theory before buying. The point is to recognize your pattern and choose the MGB+ formula built for it.

Clear

A quieter gut

Support for bloating-prone days that pull focus and energy down with them.

Clear

A clearer head

Support for the gut-brain pattern that travels with fog, fatigue, and low-energy days.

Cool

Easier meals

Support for upper-gut heat, heaviness, and the stomach-after-eating loop.

Calm

Better mornings

Support for sensitive-stomach mornings and the queasy pattern that starts before breakfast.

System

A clear starting point

Start with one formula, or use the Trio if you recognize more than one pattern.

Rick Pescatore, DO
The founder

Built by an ER physician who kept seeing the same missing pattern.

Normal labs. Normal scans. Real symptoms. Bloating, nausea, fog, fatigue, burning, and mornings that start wrong. MGB+ was built around a simple architecture: the MGB+ Core as the base layer, then pattern-specific support for the way symptoms actually travel.

I'm Rick Pescatore, D.O. — an emergency physician, former State Chief Physician, former White House Task Force advisor, and editor-in-chief of Emergency Medicine News. I built BellyMD to make these patterns easier to name, track, and support.

Research, advocacy, and standards

Trust signals that actually matter.

BellyMD is physician-led, research-connected, patient-advocacy grounded, and open-formula by design.

Research

University technology option agreement

BellyMD has entered into a research option agreement with a major U.S. research university around blood biomarkers and diagnostic methods for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. The agreement gives BellyMD an option to negotiate an exclusive license in the field of use.

Clinical framework

Guideline-informed education

Our educational framework is informed by Rome Foundation diagnostic concepts and ACG/AGA guidance on disorders of gut-brain interaction. BellyMD supplements are not diagnostic tools and are not intended to treat disease.

Patient advocacy

Built close to the patient community

Rick serves on the G-PACT Board of Advisors. BellyMD also supports GI patient advocacy initiatives, including Crohn's & Colitis community efforts, and Rick serves on the End Overdose board.
