DGL, Licorice: Natural Protection for Stomach, Digestion, and Gastrointestinal Health

DGL, Licorice, Nature’s Way is a dietary supplement containing deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (DGL) along with glycine, an important amino acid for overall health. This formula is specifically designed to support digestive system health, reduce gastric discomfort, and promote optimal digestion.
 

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) is produced through a process that removes glycyrrhizin, a natural compound in licorice known for its potential to cause side effects with long-term use. This safe and effective version of licorice retains all the benefits of the root extract without the risks associated with glycyrrhizin.

Benefits of Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice - DGL

 

• Supporting Digestive Mucosal Health

The digestive mucosa plays a crucial role in protecting internal organs from irritants, bacteria, and toxins. DGL, Licorice, Nature’s Way helps maintain the health of this natural barrier by stimulating the production of protective mucus. This mucus forms a coating over the stomach and intestines, shielding them from gastric acid and other potentially harmful substances. Additionally, deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (DGL) has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce mucosal irritation and prevent damage caused by excessive acidity or harmful bacteria like Helicobacter pylori.

 

• Improving Gastric Comfort

Gastric discomfort, such as bloating, heartburn, or nausea, can significantly impact quality of life. The DGL, Licorice supplement helps alleviate these symptoms by reducing inflammation and neutralizing irritations in the digestive tract. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract aids in relieving heartburn by creating a more balanced environment in the stomach and preventing mucosal damage. Glycine in the formula also plays a role in reducing muscle tension and soothing abdominal discomfort, supporting smoother digestion and reducing stress-related digestive symptoms.

 

• Supporting Normal Digestive Function

For optimal performance, the digestive system needs a healthy environment that facilitates nutrient breakdown and absorption. DGL, Licorice supports this process through its properties of stimulating gastric mucus production and promoting balanced digestive flow. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice helps maintain normal stomach and intestinal function, reducing irritations and contributing to efficient digestion. Glycine, an essential amino acid, plays a significant role in supporting the metabolism of proteins and other nutrients, thereby promoting a healthy and complete digestive process.

 

• Maintaining Gastric pH Balance

The balance of gastric pH is essential for proper digestion and preventing digestive issues like heartburn or gastric ulcers. DGL, Licorice helps maintain a healthy pH by stimulating the secretion of protective mucus, which aids in balancing gastric acid levels. By reducing hyperacidity, this supplement prevents mucosal irritation and supports an optimal environment for enzymatic digestion. Additionally, deglycyrrhizinated licorice can protect the stomach from negative effects caused by external factors like acidic foods, stress, or long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

 

• Supporting the Natural Regeneration of Mucosa

The digestive mucosa undergoes constant regeneration to repair damage caused by factors like acidity, irritations, or inflammation. DGL, Licorice supports this natural process through its calming and regenerative properties. Licorice root extract stimulates the repair of stomach and intestinal mucosal cells, reducing the risk of chronic lesions or conditions such as ulcers. Additionally, glycine contributes to collagen synthesis, a protein essential for repairing and strengthening digestive tissues, accelerating the healing process, and promoting long-term gastrointestinal health.
