🌱 What it is

DGL is licorice root with the glycyrrhizin compound removed, making it gentler for regular digestive use.

✨ Why it's good for you

  • Soothes an irritated digestive tract
  • Does not raise blood pressure like regular licorice
  • Convenient chewable form

🥄 How to use it

Chew 1-2 DGL tablets 1-2 hours before bedtime, or as directed on the product label.

How much: 1-2 chewable DGL tablets, 1-2 hours before bedtime.

Why it works: DGL is thought to increase protective mucin production in the digestive tract and may help support the stomach lining against irritation.

⚠️ Cautions

  • Choose the DGL form specifically — regular licorice can raise blood pressure and cause water retention
  • Consult a doctor before use if you have kidney or liver disease. Tuberculosis and pancreatitis need prompt medical diagnosis and treatment, not herbal remedies alone
  • Not for use during pregnancy without medical guidance
