DGL, or deglycyrrhizinated licorice, is a form of licorice root that has been specially processed to contain only biologically active flavonoids, without glycyrrhizin. The deglycyrrhized form of licorice allows for higher dosing of supportive flavonoids, which helps maintain a healthy mucosal surface in the stomach. Traditionally used to support GI-related complaints, research has shown DGL to promote bacterial balance and promotes a healthy esophageal lining. Along with DGL, this capsule also contains aloe vera, slippery elm bark and marshmallow root, all used to soothe the GI tract.
