DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract): Digestive Health, Gastric Mucosa Protection and Gastrointestinal Balance – Advanced Natural Supplement with Licorice Root

 

DGL Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract 400 mg, Natural Factors is a dietary supplement designed to support digestive tract health by protecting and restoring gastric mucosa. The formula contains exclusively deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) in a 10:1 ratio, standardization that concentrates the active compounds responsible for gastroprotective effects. The deglycyrrhizination process reduces glycyrrhizin content – a component potentially associated with water retention and blood pressure influence – while preserving the flavonoid and isoflavone profile characteristic of licorice. Thus, DGL provides targeted benefits for gastric comfort, being suitable for long-term use in maintaining a balanced stomach.
 

By supporting protective mucus secretion and local homeostasis, DGL acts as a natural shield against modern irritating factors: irregular meals, spicy or fatty foods, excessive coffee, prolonged periods of stress or occasional use of anti-inflammatories. With optimal bioavailability and a very good tolerability profile, deglycyrrhizinated extract contributes to reducing burning sensations, calming epigastric discomfort and supporting acidity balance without compromising normal digestion.



 

Detailed Benefits of DGL Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract

 

• Gastric Mucosa Protection and Support for Epigastric Comfort

The integrity of the gastric mucus layer is essential to prevent acid aggression on stomach walls. DGL supports the production and quality of protective mucus, consolidating the natural mucosal barrier.
✅ Ameliorates burning sensations and discomfort after copious meals
✅ Supports irritated mucosa regeneration in the context of a demanding lifestyle
✅ Contributes to maintaining a balanced gastric environment against irritating factors

 

• Balancing Gastric Acidity Without Blocking Digestion

Gastric acid has a physiological role, but when mucosal exposure becomes excessive, irritation occurs. DGL doesn't "stop" acid, but helps tissues better tolerate the acidic environment, by increasing mucosal resistance and supporting local defense mechanisms.
✅ Favors comfort during periods with acidity variations
✅ Maintains natural digestive processes, avoiding subsequent imbalances
✅ Provides gentle and constant support for a sensitive stomach

 

• Supporting Natural Tissue Repair Processes

Gastric mucosa regenerates continuously, and stress, irregular meals and certain habits can slow these processes. Through polyphenolic compounds, DGL supports endogenous repair mechanisms.
✅ Helps restore affected mucosal integrity
✅ Supports local microcirculation and tissue trophicity
✅ Contributes to long-term digestive comfort

 

• Reducing Postprandial Sensitivity

The feeling of "fullness", pressure or epigastric heaviness after meals may be related to mucosal irritation and exaggerated local responses to food stimuli. DGL provides a calming effect, useful in managing these episodes.
✅ Diminishes occasional postprandial discomfort
✅ Supports tolerance to varied meals, including spices or fats
✅ Contributes to a more predictable digestive experience

 

• Antioxidant Effect and Local Inflammatory Balance

Flavonoids from Glycyrrhiza glabra act as antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals that can affect mucosal cells. Additionally, deglycyrrhizinated extract contributes to modulating local inflammatory response.
✅ Protects gastric cells from oxidative stress
✅ Strengthens tissue resilience exposed to repeated aggressions
✅ Supports comfort by maintaining physiological inflammatory tone

 

• Support for the Entire Upper Digestive Tract

Although emphasis falls on the stomach, balance begins in the esophagus and continues into the duodenum. DGL contributes to mucosal barrier continuity and a more natural transition of gastric content.
✅ Helps esophageal tolerance against irritating factors
✅ Favors a gentler passage to the duodenum
✅ Supports comfort sensation throughout upper digestion

 

• Optimized Safety Profile: Deglycyrrhizinated Formula

Deglycyrrhizination removes glycyrrhizin, a component associated with sodium/water retention and blood pressure influence. Preserving the root's beneficial compounds, DGL provides gastric support without this inconvenience.
✅ Suitable for prolonged use in maintenance protocols
✅ Gentle approach for people seeking mucosal protection without mineralocorticoid effects
✅ Compatible with an active and demanding lifestyle

 

• Clear and Traceable Active Ingredient Concentration

Each serving provides 400 mg of deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract 10:1 (Glycyrrhiza glabra, root). The extraction ratio indicates superior concentration compared to crude powder, offering consistency and predictability.
✅ Transparent dosage and easy to integrate into daily routine
✅ Standardized quality for reproducible effects
✅ Focus on a single active ingredient, without added botanical excipients
