Solgar Deglycyrrhised Licorice (DGL) Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra), has been made by removing the naturally occurring glycyrrhizin from the licorice root. This process is important as the glycyrrhizin in the root may cause side effects like hypertension and fluid retention. By eliminating the glycyrrhizin, DGL helps to soothe the digestive tract and aid in healthy digestion. It is also known to help with fatigue due to its effect on the adrenal glands.
With 60 vegetable capsules, each with a glycyrrhizin content of no more than 1%, this product also contains a powdered base of PhytO2X®, a special blend of natural antioxidants including mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, and vitamin C.

Deglycyrrhised Licorice is the form of licorice people usually look for when stomach comfort is the priority. Removing most of the glycyrrhizin matters because it keeps the focus on digestive soothing rather than the part of licorice that can be a concern for some people over time.
That makes this a more considered option if you want licorice root support for your stomach or upper digestive tract and you want the DGL form specifically, not just any licorice product. If you are building out a gut support routine, our related support options is a useful place to compare related options.
Why is the DGL form important in Deglycyrrhised Licorice?
DGL means the glycyrrhizin has largely been removed, which is why this form is commonly chosen when digestive comfort is the main goal.
What may Deglycyrrhised Licorice help with?
It is generally used for soothing stomach and digestive tract irritation, especially when you want a licorice based option that is centred on gut comfort.
Is this the same as taking ordinary licorice root?
No. The DGL form is the point of difference here, so it is better thought of as a digestive support version of licorice rather than a standard licorice supplement.
