GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH DEGLYCYRRHIZINATED LICORICE EXTRACT 60 CT Traditionally used to support GI-related complaints, research has shown DGL promotes bacterial balance and a healthy esophageal lining. Categories: Gastrointestinal Health Clinical Applications Supports Gastrointestinal Health Helps Maintain a Healthy Mucosal Surface in the Stomach Promotes a Healthy Esophageal Lining PRODUCT OVERVIEW Approximately 25 million Americans will suffer from GI mucosal complaints at some point in their lifetimes. 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 is 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. Suggested Use: 2 capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional. BENEFITS DGL The formula includes GutGard®, a clinically studied form of deglycyrrhized licorice that provides improved control of the glycyrrhized content. 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. 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 by its ability to balance stomach acid levels and promote healthy mucus production. 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.
