Is there sugar in DGL?

Sugar-free, no fructose formula. Formula contains less than 1% glycyrrhizin. Chewable tablets are easy and pleasant to take.

What are the side effects of DGL?

Licorice with glycyrrhizin may cause serious side effects. Too much glycyrrhizin causes a condition called pseudoaldosteronism, which can cause a person to become overly sensitive to a hormone in the adrenal cortex. This condition can lead to headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure, and even heart attacks.

How good is DGL?

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) is a safe and effective licorice extract. It is specially processed to have glycyrrhizin removed to avoid potential side effects such as elevated blood pressure. DGL supports the integrity of the natural mucus lining of the stomach and intestinal wall.

How can I tighten my esophageal sphincter?

By lifting and holding the neck from a supine position for 60 seconds at a time, you create enough tension in the muscle associated with the upper esophageal sphincter that it can strengthen the valve.

What are the ingredients in ultrasoothe DGL?

UltraSoothe Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) (Glycyrrhiza glabra) Root Extract 10:1, Glycine, fructose, organic inulin, coconut milk powder, natural flavors, cocoa bean powder, modified rice starch, silicon dioxide, organic gum acacia, vanilla powder Recommendations: chew one extra-strength tablet 20 minutes before a meal.

Will natural factors work as well as DGL ultra?

I will not be buying DGL Ultra any more. The Natural Factors uses Xylitol as a sweetener, which is actually great if you have the reflex cough, because it washes acid back down into the stomach. You can buy the Natural Factors here on Amazon, hopefully it will work as well as the DGL Ultra did with UltraSoothe.

What does gutgard™ DGL taste like?

Originally, this product used 10:1 UltraSoothe™ DGL extract, they now use 3:1 GutGard™ DGL extract. The old formula tasted decent, a slight chocolatey flavor, you chewed one about 20 minutes before a meal. I have been using it while doing step-down therapy to get off a proton-pump inhibitor, and it certainly had helped.
