Planetary Formulas Dgl Licorice (100 Tabs)
Planetary Formulas DGL Licorice supports and promotes a healthy stomach lining and intestinal flora. DGL is licorice from which the glycyrrhizinic and glycyrrhetinic acids have been removed. These acids are associated with high blood pressure.
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice, commonly abbreviated DGL, is an extract of the root of true licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, which has significantly reduced mineralocorticoid activity. Licorice has a number of medicinal properties, including peptic ulcer healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Glycyrrhizinic acid and its metabolite, glycyrrhetinic acid, have mineralocorticoid-like, as well as testosterone-reducing, activities. The use of licorice for the management of peptic ulcer disease is associated with hypertension, water retension and hypokalemia. The removal of most of the glycyrrhizinic and glyceyrrhetinic acids yields a product without these undesirable effects.
DGL must be chewed, because combining saliva with DGL's natural compounds promotes absorption and ensures optimum value. In deglycyrrhizinated licorice, the glycyrrhizin -a compound associated with high blood pressure-has been removed.
Study has found that while the acid-blocking drug cimetidine (Tagamet) led to quicker symptom relief, chewable deglycyrrinizated licorice (DGL) tablets were just as effective at healing stomach ulcers and keeping them healed without side effect. Chewable DGL is also helpful in treating ulcers of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.
DGL can be used to speed up healing of painful canker sore inside the mouth. Chew the tablet into a paste, then use your tongue to coat the sore with the paste. The paste will eventually dissolve in your mouth-repeat this four times a day. DGL appears to work by thickening the mucosal lining of your mouth, where canker sores often form.
