Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) and the Stomach Mucosal Lining

Mechanism of Action

DGL stimulates the mucus-secreting cells located in the stomach lining.
It increases the production of a thick, protective mucus layer that shields the gastric mucosa from harsh stomach acid and digestive enzymes.
Unlike standard licorice, the glycyrrhizin is removed to prevent potential side effects such as elevated blood pressure and potassium loss.

Clinical Application

Gastric and Duodenal Support: It is commonly utilized to help the body heal existing mucosal irritations and ulcerations.
Symptom Relief: By reinforcing the mucosal barrier, it helps reduce burning sensations and discomfort associated with acid exposure.

Important Considerations

Form Matters: For mucosal protection, cheWable tablets are generally preferred because mixing DGL with saliva initiates the local release of beneficial compounds before it reaches the stomach.
Individual Biochemistry: Nutritional and botanical interventions work best when tailored to individual mineral and metabolic profiles to address the root cause of gastrointestinal imbalance rather than just managing symptoms.
