About
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is a specially processed form of licorice root with the glycyrrhizin compound removed to prevent aldosterone-like side effects (hypertension, hypokalemia). DGL may help stimulate mucus and bicarbonate secretion in the gastric lining and enhance prostaglandin E2 production, which supports mucosal integrity. Research suggests it may support digestive comfort in functional dyspepsia and provide protective support for the gastric lining.
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)
