But this only addresses the symptoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (DGL) offers a more rational approach by actually promoting healing. Licorice contains antioxidant flavonoids that help heal digestive tract cells. It supports stomach cells that produce mucin to protect the lining of the stomach. It also stimulates the growth of new mucosal cells. The flavonoids in DGL also inhibit a bacterium, \u003cem\u003eHelicobacter pylori\u003c\/em\u003e, that grows in the stomach and is believed to play a role in causing some stomach ulcers and chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs mentioned above, DGL is a preparation of licorice from which the compound glycyrrhizin has been removed. In large doses, glycyrrhizin can cause hypokalemia, a drop in the level of potassium in the blood stream. This can lead to hypertension (high blood pressure). These side effects are triggered because glycyrrhizin acts like the adrenal hormone aldosterone, causing sodium retention which results in an expansion of the body’s fluid volume and an increase in blood pressure.\n\n\u003ch6 class=\"bd\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"features\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-medicinal ingredients\u003c\/p\u003e\nDextrose, microcrystalline cellulose, guar gum, purified water, stearic acid, vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Usage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eChew 1 tablet up to 3 times per day 20 minutes before each meal or as directed by a health professional.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"bd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'ProductDocuments', 'DGL Research Information']);\" class=\"icon-pdf\" href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalfactors.com\/Frontend\/WebsiteImages\/NaturalFactorsCanada\/BulkGeneric\/Documents\/DGL-RI.pdf\" target=\"_BLANK\"\u003eDGL Research Information\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(pdf)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Factors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52601094308203,"sku":"4508","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/5572\/6443\/files\/dgl_ac62c368-ed3c-4a5d-a01e-14afa3f36c20.png?v=1787228733","url":"https:\/\/naturalvibe.ca\/products\/1763709448-8846ff65","provider":"Natural Vibe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
