Yes but stick with extract, not deglycyrrhizinated.  De means taken out, and it is what you want. _BOB —

 Do NOT  avoid the deglycerinated version because the glycerin is not the active ingredient that helps to restore function of the stomach wall.  It is this component (that is removed in DGL) that causes high blood pressure associated with licorice use.  I have used DGL on several patients and they all have had positive outcomes.  Most voluntarily stop taking Zantac and Rolaids, etc. because the DGL neutralizes the stomach acids as well.  Give it a shot, see what happens and keep us posted!

The Licorice that I have here is from BioEnergy Nutrients and the title says: Licorice DGL Extract.   The back of the container says: Each capsule contains 500 mg of Licorice DGL Extract (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice; no more than 1% glycyrrhizin). Shall I take this one? Thanks, Stan

   She wants the deglycyrrhizinated.  Glycyrrhizic acid doesn’t do a thing for stomachs, and it will make you retain salt, raise your blood pressure, and waste your potassium.  Not good stuff.

DGL means deglycyrrhizinated licorice  ie the glycyrrhizin has been removed . It is said to have some good effects on stomachs for people with ulcers and food allergies. Some doctors put there patients on Cytotec and DGL to try and thicken stomach walls where their patients have food allergies from peptides leaking through them causing allergies It also like cytotec is said to be cytoprotective and help with irritations caused to the stomach lining. It really does work for some people. There is no blood pressure aspect to this. Cal

       Stan-               That one sounds okay.  I see a lot of people use the Enzymatic Therapy brand because they guarantee that it will work.  Now, whether it actually will for you remains to be seen , but that way if it doesn’t you don’t lose any money.  Also theirs is chewable (available sweetened & unsweetend) and it’s my understanding that the actual reaction with saliva is important in order for the DGL to be most effective.  I’ve seen many good results with DGL, I hope it works for you!                                       Angela
