Gastro Health is built around deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract, usually shortened to DGL or DGLE. DGL is commonly used to soothe the stomach lining without the glycyrrhizin that gives whole licorice some of its blood pressure concerns. That makes it a familiar ingredient in products aimed at upper digestive comfort.
The formulation of Gastro Health also includes pau d'arco, clove, elecampane and capsicum. These herbs are traditionally used to support digestive balance and stomach comfort, especially when digestion feels irritated or unsettled. DGL has been studied for soothing support in people with stomach discomfort, which helps explain why it is the lead ingredient here. Before buying, the most useful thing to know is that Gastro Health is aimed at the stomach rather than the lower bowel.
What is DGL in Gastro Health?
DGL is deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract. It is a form of licorice used for stomach support because it keeps the soothing side of licorice while removing most of the glycyrrhizin.
Why does Gastro Health include clove and pau d'arco?
Clove and pau d'arco are traditional digestive herbs that add broader stomach support to the DGL base. In Gastro Health, they are included to help the formula cover digestive comfort as well as soothing.
