Gastrointestinal Health
Traditionally used to support GI-related complaints, research has shown DGL promotes bacterial balance and a healthy esophageal lining.
Approximately 25 million Americans will suffer from GI mucosal complaints at some point in their lives. While such discomfort was originally thought to arise from stress, spicy foods, alcohol consumption, gastric acid production, or heredity, today it is known that common bacteria from food are often the root cause. A healthy mucosal lining is of the utmost importance to protect against unwanted organisms from entering the body. DGL supports gastrointestinal health by accelerating the secretion rate of mucus by the gastric and esophageal mucosa, helping to protect tissues. This unique licorice extract contains only biologically active flavonoids, without glycyrrhizin, for targeted usage in the GI tract.

DGL
The formula includes GutGard®, a clinically studied form of deglycyrrhized licorice that provides improved control of the glycyrrhized content. In a clinical trial, 56% of subjects receiving GutGard® showed marked improvement in symptoms of occasional acid indigestion compared to placebo. In another study of 874 patients comparing the effects of DGL and cimetidine (another known therapy), it was found that DGL was effective in relieving GI discomfort.
Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root is a traditional soothing herb with a long history of use for coating the gastric lining. Marshmallow root contains mucilage polysaccharides, which swell when mixed with liquid, providing a soothing property to mucous membranes. The German Commission E has approved the use of marshmallow root for promoting a normal inflammatory process within the gastric mucosa. The nonofficial British Herbal Compendium, 1st edition, also indicates marshmallow root for soothing the stomach and intestinal tract.
Aloe Vera Concentrate
Aloe vera, like marshmallow root and slippery elm bark, is a soothing herb that has been used throughout history and has been shown to maintain normal inflammatory balance.
Specifically, studies have shown aloe vera is beneficial to the gastric mucosa due in part to its ability to balance stomach acid levels and promote healthy mucus production. An animal study examining the effects of aloe vera on gastric acid secretion and gastric mucosal health found that aloe vera balanced gastric acid secretion and, was found to balance minor changes in gastric acid secretion and at low doses, protected mucosa from temporary influxes of excess gastric acid.
Slippery Elm Bark
Slippery elm bark is a traditional soothing herb that has been used for centuries. Slippery elm bark is rich in mucilage, which helps maintain normal inflammatory balance.
