DGL - 60 CT by Ortho Molecular Products – Digestive Mucosal Support
DGL - 60 CT by Ortho Molecular Products is a chewable tablet featuring deglycyrrhizinated licorice, a specially processed form of licorice root standardized to contain only its biologically active flavonoids, without the glycyrrhizin. Removing glycyrrhizin allows for higher, more consistent dosing of the supportive flavonoids that help sustain a healthy mucosal barrier in the stomach and intestines.
Alongside DGL, each tablet includes aloe vera, slippery elm bark, and marshmallow root, three botanicals traditionally used to soothe and calm minor discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract. Together this combination is traditionally used to provide comprehensive gastrointestinal support, helping maintain bacterial balance and support renewal of the intestinal lining in a pleasant-tasting, chewable format.
Key DGL Benefits
- Helps sustain a healthy mucosal barrier in the stomach and intestines.
- Supports maintenance of healthy bacterial balance in the gut.
- Promotes a healthy esophageal lining.
- Soothes and helps alleviate minor GI discomfort with aloe vera, slippery elm, and marshmallow root.
How DGL Works
Licorice root naturally contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that in high or prolonged doses can affect blood pressure and electrolyte balance. By removing the glycyrrhizin, DGL isolates the biologically active flavonoids responsible for supporting the stomach and intestinal mucosal barrier, allowing for higher, more targeted dosing of those flavonoids without the drawbacks of unprocessed licorice.
These flavonoids help maintain the protective mucous layer that lines the digestive tract, supporting its resilience against everyday dietary and environmental stressors. Aloe vera, slippery elm bark, and marshmallow root work alongside DGL by providing mucilage-rich, soothing botanical compounds that coat and calm the GI lining, rounding out DGL - 60 CT as a well-tolerated, chewable gastrointestinal support formula.

Frequently Asked Questions About DGL
What are the main health benefits of DGL?
DGL supports a healthy mucosal barrier in the stomach and intestines using deglycyrrhizinated licorice root, which supplies active flavonoids without glycyrrhizin. It also supports a healthy esophageal lining and helps maintain bacterial balance in the gut, while aloe vera, slippery elm bark, and marshmallow root soothe minor discomfort in the GI tract.
How does DGL work in the body?
DGL removes glycyrrhizin from licorice root so the remaining bioactive flavonoids can be dosed more freely to support the stomach and intestinal mucosal barrier. These flavonoids help maintain the protective mucous lining of the digestive tract, while aloe vera, marshmallow root, and slippery elm bark provide soothing, mucilage-rich support that helps calm the GI lining.
Who should consider taking DGL?
Adults looking to support a healthy stomach and intestinal mucosal barrier, or who experience occasional minor GI discomfort, may consider DGL. It's also a fit for those who want a pleasant-tasting chewable that supports a healthy esophageal lining as part of a daily gastrointestinal wellness routine, ideally alongside guidance from a healthcare professional.
Are there any side effects associated with DGL?
DGL is generally well tolerated when taken as directed, but individuals who are pregnant or nursing should consult their physician before use. As with any new supplement, anyone with existing digestive conditions or on medication should speak with a healthcare professional before adding DGL to their routine to confirm it's an appropriate fit.
