FAQs

Frequently asked

Can I take DGL if I have high blood pressure?

Yes, DGL is specifically processed to remove glycyrrhizin, the compound in licorice that can raise blood pressure. Therefore, it is generally considered safe for individuals monitoring their blood pressure.

How quickly does DGL work?

The effects of DGL are dose-dependent and can typically be observed within 1 to 4 weeks of consistent use, particularly when taken before meals.

What is the difference between licorice and DGL?

Standard licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which can cause side effects like increased blood pressure and potassium loss. DGL has had the glycyrrhizin removed, preserving the therapeutic compounds that support mucosal health without these side effects.
