Licorice has been the subject of much research for its ability to support healthy digestive function. DGL, or de-glycyrrhizinated licorice, is a form of licorice root that has been specially processed to remove glycyrrhizin, an undesirable compound, thereby enriching the biologically active compounds that help maintain a healthy lining in the stomach and intestines. Aloe has been included for its soothing properties. Administration in vegetable capsules helps avoid the unpleasant taste of the lozenge version for some people.
