AOR’s DGL provides deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract, traditionally used in Eastern medicine for soothing the digestive tract. This extract is specially processed to remove most glycyrrhizin, the compound linked to increased blood pressure, making it a safer option for those concerned about such effects. Sourced from India and made using a 6:1 water distillation method, the chewable tablets allow active components to mix with saliva for more direct relief. DGL helps support and protect gastrointestinal mucosa, making it a gentle choice for digestive comfort. [CHEW TABS]

DEGLYCYRRHIZINATED LICORICE
Until recently, medical treatment of peptic ulcers focused on reducing gastric acidity with antacids and/or drugs that block stomach acid secretions. With the recent discovery of Helicobacter pylori bacteria as the true cause of the overwhelming majority of peptic ulcers, powerful antibiotics have been added to the cocktail. Though effective in relieving symptoms, these treatments can be expensive, carry some risk of toxicity, disrupt normal digestive processes, and alter the structure and function of the cells that line the digestive tract.
Zantac (Ranitidine) and Tagamet (Cimetidine) are examples of histamine receptor antagonists. These drugs act to block the action of histamine on the secretion of stomach acid. Histamine normally acts to stimulate the secretion of stomach acid by gastric cells. By blocking this effect of histamine, stomach acid output is greatly reduced.
Effectiveness And Safety
Although they are effective in providing symptomatic relief, Zantac, Tagamet, and other H2 receptor antagonists have the highest recurrence rate among anti-ulcer treatments. In addition, both drugs are associated with numerous side effects. Because H2-receptor antagonists block the vital bodily function involved in digestion, digestive disturbances are quite common and can include nausea,
constipation, and
diarrhea. Nutrient deficiencies can appear as a result of impaired digestion. Other possible side effects include liver damage, hair loss, breast enlargement in men, dizziness, allergic reactions, headaches,
osteoporosis, depression,
insomnia, and impotence. Cost: A month's supply of Zantac or Tagamet at therapeutic levels typically costs between $40 and $60.
Clinical Trials
The use of Deglycyrrhizinated
licorice
(DGL) compared to standard drug therapy is a classic example of addressing the underlying cause of a condition rather than simply blocking an effect. Most people do not get ulcers because of over secretion of acid. The cause in most cases is a breakdown in the integrity of the intestinal lining. While drugs like Zantac and Tagamet can block symptoms and promote temporary healing, they don't address the underlying cause. DGL addresses the underlying factors and promotes true healing. Rather than inhibit the release of acid, licorice stimulates the normal defense mechanisms that prevent ulcer formation. Specifically, flavonoids present in DGL inhibit the growth of H. pylori in vitro, while the whole extract improves both the quantity and the quality of the protective substances which line the intestinal tract, increases the life span of intestinal cells, and improves blood supply to the intestinal lining.
Numerous clinical studies over the years have found DGL to be an effective anti-ulcer compound. For example in one study, 33 gastric ulcer patients were treated with either DGL or a placebo for one month. At the end of the study, there was a significantly greater reduction in ulcer size in the DGL group (78%) than in the placebo group (34%). Complete healing occurred in 44% of those receiving DGL, but in only 6% of the placebo group. In several head to head comparison studies, DGL has been shown to be more effective than either Tagamet or Zantac in both short-term treatment and maintenance therapy of peptic ulcers. However, while these drugs are associated with significant side effects, DGL is extremely safe and is only a fraction of the cost.
