More information about Herbal Actives, Licorice (DGL), 500 mg (60 Veggie Caps) - Nature's Plus
Experience soothing botanical relief with Herbal Actives Licorice (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice or DGL) 500 mg by Nature’s Plus, delivered in 60 easy-to-take veggie capsules. Designed for individuals seeking natural gastrointestinal comfort, joint care, or general digestive wellness, this pure licorice root extract is meticulously formulated and rigorously tested for effectiveness and safety.
What Is DGL Licorice?
Licorice root, derived from Glycyrrhiza glabra, has been historically used in botanical medicine for centuries. To reduce the risk of unwanted side effects associated with glycyrrhizin (such as elevated blood pressure and fluid retention), this supplement uses Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL)—a form processed to remove the glycyrrhizin while preserving important flavonoids, saponins, and other beneficial phytochemicals.
