180 Chewable Tablets ( SKU: 9227U )
Benefits
- Offers 400 mg of DGL per tablet
- Supports the stomach lining by stimulating mucus formation and secretion*
- The chewable delivery system is preferred because saliva enhances the effect of DGL’s natural compounds, allowing licorice to be released in the stomach and absorbed by the gastric mucosa
- Deglycyrrhizination avoids some of the adverse effects commonly associated with licorice consumption
- Pleasant-tasting tablets for better compliance
- Suitable for vegetarians/vegans
Feature Summary
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice, or DGL, has been used for decades to help with occasional stomach and digestive tract health and support a healthy stomach lining.*1 Licorice has many triterpenoids and hundreds of flavonoids that have been shown to inhibit specific enzymes. Consequently, inhibition helps organize the body’s response to cellular debris.*2 Importantly, this inhibition is not primarily due to glycyrrhizic acid, the component of licorice that has been removed from DGL, and that is associated with adverse effects.3
Licorice has multiple useful compounds that help clear normal cellular debris and help support healthy immune homeostasis, including glabridin and at least seven licochalcones.* These compounds may help organize the body’s response to cellular health and support the antioxidant processes.*4-6 Licorice extracts have been shown to support the normal integrity of the gastric mucosa via multiple mechanisms.*6,7 The use of chewable tablets appears necessary for DGL’s efficacy, as it allows for distribution and absorption by the gastric mucosa.6
