DGL Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated)
Natural approach for Heartburn & Acid Reflux
🌿 About DGL Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated)
DGL Licorice is a specially processed form of licorice root with glycyrrhizin removed to eliminate blood pressure side effects. It stimulates the body's natural protective mechanisms in the stomach lining, increasing mucus production and promoting cell repair. Studies show DGL is as effective as antacids at relieving heartburn symptoms without the long-term risks of proton pump inhibitors.
✅ Key Benefits
📋 How to Use DGL Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated)
Chew 2-4 DGL tablets (380mg) 20 minutes before meals, 3 times daily. Must be chewed, not swallowed whole — saliva activation is essential for efficacy. Can also take as powder mixed in warm water.
⚠️ Safety & Precautions
Regular licorice (non-DGL) raises blood pressure. Use only the DGL form. Avoid if pregnant. May interact with blood pressure medications.
