-
How to take DGL for acid reflux?
To take DGL for acid reflux, chew one or two tablets before meals or as directed by a healthcare professional. Chewing the tablets allows the DGL to mix with saliva and coat the esophagus and stomach lining, providing a soothing effect.
-
Is it safe to take DGL supplements?
DGL supplements are generally safe to take when used as directed. However, people with certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure or hypokalemia, should consult with a healthcare professional before starting DGL supplements.
-
Is Deglycyrrhizinated licorice safe for kidneys?
DGL is generally safe for kidney health when taken at the recommended doses. The deglycyrrhizination process removes glycyrrhizin, a compound in licorice that can cause side effects and impact kidney function in high doses.

Who should not take deglycyrrhizinated licorice?
People with certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure, hypokalemia, or hormone-sensitive cancers, should not take DGL without consulting a healthcare professional. Pregnant or nursing women should also avoid DGL supplements unless advised by their doctor.

What are the negative effects of licorice?
