Licorice helps to coat and soothe the throat, stomach, and intestines*

Licorice is considered a mucilaginous herb, meaning it supports the body’s mucus-producing cells and helps maintain the protective lining of the throat and GI tract.* This can help soothe the throat from the occasional effects of stomach acid and promote overall GI health.* The licorice in this formula is provided as DGL, which removes glycyrrhizin to support safety and effectiveness for long-term use, as glycyrrhizin may be associated with adverse effects in some individuals.* DGL Synergy™ also includes glycine and calcium to further support healthy digestion.*

What This Product Is

DGL Synergy™ is a fast-acting, chewable formula of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) that offers support for healthy digestion and normal stomach acids. It contains a standardized high-quality form of DGL, the amino acid glycine, and calcium in the form of calcium glycerophosphate.

Licorice has been well-studied for its ability to support the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It helps support the body’s natural inflammatory response to various foods or medications and may help protect the protective barrier of the GI tract. Licorice is a mucilaginous herb that helps produce a soothing coat on the throat, stomach, and intestines, calming irritating effects of occasional stomach acid and promoting the health of the entire GI tract. DGL also helps maintain a healthy bacterial environment in the stomach. The glycyrrhizin has been removed to avoid potential negative side effects on blood pressure.*

Mechanism of Action

DGL and GI Tract Lining Support

Deglycyrrhizinated licorice supports the lining of the gastrointestinal tract through its mucilaginous properties, producing a soothing coat on the throat, stomach, and intestines. DGL supports the body’s mucus-producing cells and helps maintain a healthy bacterial environment in the stomach, while supporting the body’s natural inflammatory response.*

Glycine and Bile Acid Production

Glycine is an amino acid required for the production of bile that helps digest dietary fats. It is also a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione, which helps support a healthy GI tract and aids healthy digestion.*

Calcium and Acid Balance

Calcium (as calcium glycerophosphate) aids in promoting a healthy balance of acid throughout the GI tract, further supporting comfortable digestion and normal stomach acid levels.*

Applications

  • Individuals seeking support for healthy digestion and normal stomach acid levels*
  • Those looking for GI tract lining support with a soothing, mucilaginous botanical*
  • Individuals seeking glutathione synthesis support through glycine supplementation*
  • Those experiencing occasional digestive discomfort from foods or medications*
  • Individuals who prefer a convenient, chewable digestive support formula*

Product Questions

Why is the licorice in DGL Synergy™ deglycyrrhizinated?

Deglycyrrhizinated licorice has had the naturally occurring compound glycyrrhizin removed. In some individuals, glycyrrhizin has been associated with negative side effects on blood pressure. Removing glycyrrhizin maintains the GI-supportive benefits of licorice while eliminating these potential side effects.*

How does DGL Synergy™ differ from Betaine HCl and CarminaGest?

DGL Synergy™ provides GI tract lining support through mucilaginous licorice along with glycine for bile production and glutathione synthesis. Betaine HCl focuses on providing supplemental hydrochloric acid for protein digestion. CarminaGest supports digestive comfort through carminative botanicals. These products address different aspects of digestive health and may complement each other under practitioner guidance.*

Who may benefit most from DGL Synergy™?

Individuals seeking support for healthy digestion, normal stomach acid levels, and GI tract lining health. Those experiencing occasional digestive discomfort or looking for a convenient, pleasant-tasting chewable formula for digestive support. Those seeking glutathione synthesis support alongside digestive benefits may also benefit.*
