Licorice root has a long history of use in traditional wellness practices focused on digestive comfort. Our deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) extract provides selected components of whole licorice while removing glycyrrhizic acid, a compound associated with unwanted effects when consumed in excess. This makes DGL a suitable option for individuals seeking digestive support without those concerns.*
Features of Our DGL Supplement*
DGL contains naturally occurring plant compounds that have been studied for their role in supporting the integrity and comfort of the stomach lining as part of normal digestive function.*
Preclinical research has explored how certain compounds in deglycyrrhizinated licorice may contribute to maintaining a balanced digestive environment by supporting normal cellular signaling pathways involved in digestive tract wellness.*
DGL is also a source of plant-based flavonoids studied for their antioxidant properties, which may help support the body’s natural defenses against oxidative stress within the digestive system.*

How To Take our Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract?
DGL 500 maximizes potential DGL supplement benefits because it does not contain glycyrrhizin. Removing that substance decreases the chances of deglycyrrhizinated licorice DGL side effects.
Taking these DGL capsules could not be easier. Scientists have perfected the formula and made them simple to take orally. You do not need a prescription to take them, and there are no special instructions to follow. It is all about responsible use.
To take DGL 500 safely, you should never exceed the recommended daily serving size. We recommend adults to take 1 or 2 capsules, approximately 20 minutes before a meal, up to three times a day, depending on how much you require.
Remember, deglycyrrhizinated licorice root mainly benefits the digestive system. Taking these supplements before eating ensures that they act fast. If you do not like the taste of licorice, you can wash down the supplement with a glass of water.
There are no documented deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract side effects associated with prolonged daily consumption of this supplement.
It is important to go out of your way to read the instructions on the container. Avoid exceeding the recommended serving size, or you may experience an increased risk of sustained side effects.
You should also consult a medical professional regarding how much you should ingest per day.
People with certain medical conditions or on certain medications may be advised to take less than the recommended daily maximum in order to reduce the potential of side effects.
