Vitamin Shoppe - Dgl Extract, 100 wafers

I have used other DGL products before and they tasted much better. I have no idea why the taste is so terrible.

If you don't know, DGL is great for stomach troubles and especially reflux, but I suggest you buy another brand. Aloe and ginseng seem to help a lot as well, but DLG is the best. Just buy something palatable...I threw this stuff out!

IN A NUTSHELL: -- FOR GASTRIC COMPLAINTS THIS IS THE TICKET!

CONSIDER DGL FORM [WITHOUT Glycyrrhizin]:

If you are looking solely for relief from peptic ulcer symptoms and/or G.E.R.D., use DGL Licorice only, as it is safer and concentrates the factors that alleviate gastric symptoms such as indigestion and heartburn. Also in wafer form it is more effective as it combines with saliva to react positively in the gastric tract. [DGL Wafers]

DGL VS. CIMETIDINE:

Studies have shown that in comparison to "Cimetidine", the DGL wafers worked slower but effected more of a healing action against peptic ulcers. They used 1 DGL wafer before each meal in the clinical trials.

What is Glycyrrhizin?

It is what makes Licorice incredibly beneficial and potentially dangerous. In a nutshell, it can aggravate hypertension and edema. If you are looking for gastric tract relief, forget about Glycyrrhizin.

ABOUT BRANDS:

Recently, I have begun using the "Vitamin Shoppe" brand, as I have ordered a number of different items from them, and figured why not try this out as I use it anyway.

Over the years, I also have used "Now", "Swanson" and "Nature's Way" with roughly equal results. They all work, but the Swanson brand [when available - sometimes sold-out] usually costs less, as does the "Vitamin Shoppe" brand. I have used "Enzymatic Therapy" DGL and have used several of their other products as well. They are excellent, but usually cost a little more. I noticed that this product does come with a free shipping offer which makes it very attractive since this is an excellent choice of DGL Licorice.
