Licorice is an herb that has been used for centuries by many cultures to treat a variety of diseases and conditions, including digestive problems. Licorice root contains antioxidants that may have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Licorice contains a substance called glycyrrhizin, which may cause side effects. Removing the glycyrrhizin (deglycyrrhizinated licorice or DGL) is thought to keep the benefits of licorice without the risk of adverse effects.

DGL is thought to be helpful in digestive health because it causes the stomach to produce more mucus which helps protect the lining of the digestive tract. Some studies have shown that this increase in mucus could be useful in treating stomach ulcers and helping to reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal reflux.

Food and dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or under medical supervision, please consult a doctor or healthcare professional before use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur. Keep out of the reach of children.
