Deglycyrrhizinated licorice root (or DGL licorice root) is a specially processed form of licorice. Its designed to maximize the health benefits while minimizing the risk of adverse effects associated with traditional licorice root.

Licorice has been used for natural health in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda for 5000+ years, but it contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that can cause elevated blood pressure and water retention in some users.

DGL licorice removes this compound, but maintains the other beneficial effects. So its highly regarded for its potential to support and maintain a healthy gut and digestive system.
