Dosage:
Recommended Adult Dose: Take 1 scoop (approx. 4 g) once daily or as directed by a health care practitioner. Mix with liquid before use. Take with food, a few hours before or after taking other medications or natural health products.
Warnings:
Ask a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask a health care practitioner before use if you have diabetes. Zinc supplementation can cause a copper deficiency. If you are unsure whether you are taking enough copper, consult a health care practitioner prior to use. Ask a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Stop use if hypersensitivity/allergy occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
Allergens:
Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, starch, sugar, wheat, gluten, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, animal products, salt, tree nuts, or GMOs. Suitable for vegetarians/vegans.
Contraindications
Avoid use with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients, including allergies to aloe or members of the daisy (Asteraceae) family.
Drug Interactions
No clearly established interactions, but caution is advised while using sedative medications, as there is a theoretical additive effect with chamomile.18 Licorice may cause hypertension and hypokalemia, and interact with anticoagulants in animal models, due to glycyrrhizic acid activity.19 Thus, while unlikely to occur with DGL as glycyrrhizic acid has been removed, use should be carefully monitored in these patients.
