Nature's Way, trusted in herbal supplements since 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you need it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLicorice root (\u003cem\u003eGlycyrrhiza glabra\u003c\/em\u003e) has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to soothe the digestive tract, particularly the stomach lining and oesophagus. Its primary mechanism is as a \u003cstrong\u003edemulcent\u003c\/strong\u003e — it stimulates the production of mucus in the stomach lining, creating a protective barrier that shields the delicate mucosal tissue from stomach acid, irritation, and inflammation. This makes it particularly valuable for those experiencing gastric discomfort, acid reflux, heartburn, gastritis, and peptic ulcer support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, regular licorice root contains \u003cstrong\u003eglycyrrhizin\u003c\/strong\u003e — a compound that, in higher doses or with prolonged use, can raise blood pressure and cause fluid retention. \u003cstrong\u003eDeglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)\u003c\/strong\u003e has had the glycyrrhizin removed (to less than 1%), retaining the beneficial flavonoids and mucilage-stimulating compounds while eliminating the blood pressure concern. This makes DGL safe for long-term use at therapeutic doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003echewable format\u003c\/strong\u003e is not just a convenience — it is clinically important. Chewing the tablets mixes them with saliva, which activates the DGL compounds and allows them to begin coating the oesophagus and stomach lining from the moment of swallowing. This is why DGL is most effective when chewed rather than swallowed whole. The addition of \u003cstrong\u003eglycine\u003c\/strong\u003e (150mg per serving) provides further mucosal support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoothes stomach lining\u003c\/strong\u003e — stimulates protective mucus production in the gastric mucosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcid reflux \u0026amp; heartburn relief\u003c\/strong\u003e — coats and protects the oesophagus from acid irritation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGastritis \u0026amp; ulcer support\u003c\/strong\u003e — traditionally used to support healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlood pressure safe\u003c\/strong\u003e — glycyrrhizin removed to less than 1%, safe for long-term use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGutgard™ extract\u003c\/strong\u003e — clinically researched, standardised DGL licorice root extract\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSugar free \u0026amp; vegan\u003c\/strong\u003e — no fructose, no sugar, no artificial colours or preservatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFormula\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer 3-tablet serving: Gutgard™ Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) Root Extract \u003cstrong\u003e75mg\u003c\/strong\u003e, Glycine \u003cstrong\u003e150mg\u003c\/strong\u003e.
