What is the recommended dosage for Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL)?

General: 380-760 mg DGL extract 3 times daily before meals; Gastric Support: 760 mg before meals and at bedtime; Dyspepsia Support: 380-400 mg chewable tablet 20 minutes before meals, 3 times daily

What are the side effects of Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL)?

Potential side effects include: Generally very well-tolerated (glycyrrhizin removal reduces risk of major side effects), Mild nausea in rare cases, Headache (uncommon), If glycyrrhizin is NOT fully removed: hypertension, hypokalemia, edema (ensure true DGL product).

What is deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) and how does it work for gut health?

DGL is a processed form of licorice root with glycyrrhizin removed to prevent side effects like elevated blood pressure. It may help protect the stomach and esophageal lining by stimulating mucus production and promoting the growth of protective mucosal cells. Research suggests DGL may support healing of the gastric lining and help manage symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.

What is the recommended dosage of DGL?

The typical dosage is 380-760 mg of DGL taken 20 minutes before meals, 2-3 times daily. Chewable tablets are traditionally preferred as the act of chewing may stimulate salivary epidermal growth factor, which can further support mucosal healing. Some clinicians recommend taking DGL for 8-16 weeks for optimal results.

Are there side effects or interactions with DGL?

Because glycyrrhizin has been removed, DGL is significantly safer than whole licorice root and does not typically cause hypertension or potassium depletion. Side effects are rare and mild. However, individuals should verify that their DGL product has been properly deglycyrrhizinated. DGL may interact with certain medications, so consulting a healthcare provider is still recommended.

About

Deglycyrrhiziniertes Süßholz (DGL) ist eine speziell verarbeitete Form der Süßholzwurzel, bei der die Verbindung Glycyrrhizin entfernt wurde, um aldosteronartige Nebenwirkungen (Hypertonie, Hypokaliämie) zu vermeiden. DGL kann die Schleim- und Bicarbonatsekretion der Magenschleimhaut stimulieren sowie die Prostaglandin-E2-Produktion fördern, was die mukosale Integrität schützt. Studien deuten darauf hin, dass DGL die Darmgesundheit unterstützt und Beschwerden bei funktioneller Dyspepsie lindern kann.

How It Works

Stimulates mucus and bicarbonate secretion in the gastric lining strengthening the mucosal defense barrier; enhances prostaglandin E2 production protecting mucosal integrity; promotes epithelial cell proliferation supporting mucosal repair; glycyrrhizin removed to prevent mineralocorticoid side effects.

Side Effects

Generally very well-tolerated (glycyrrhizin removal reduces risk of major side effects)
Mild nausea in rare cases
Headache (uncommon)
If glycyrrhizin is NOT fully removed: hypertension, hypokalemia, edema (ensure true DGL product)

Drug & Supplement Interactions

Digoxin (if residual glycyrrhizin present, hypokalemia may increase digoxin toxicity)
Diuretics (if residual glycyrrhizin, additive potassium loss)
Corticosteroids (if residual glycyrrhizin, additive mineralocorticoid effects)
Warfarin (theoretical interaction if residual glycyrrhizin affects metabolism)
