DGL licorice root – extract with reduced glycyrrhizin

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) originally comes from Central and Southwest Asia and has been used for centuries in various traditional herbal medicines.

It contains numerous secondary plant compounds and is particularly known for its sweet taste.

During the production of DGL, the glycyrrhizin content is significantly reduced. This is intended to reduce the risk of glycyrrhizin-related side effects, particularly on blood pressure and potassium balance.

However, this does not mean that the risk of side effects can be completely ruled out.

Marshmallow root – rich in natural mucilage

Marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) is a traditional medicinal plant whose roots are rich in plant mucilage.

This mucilage can form a protective layer when it comes into direct contact with mucous membranes.

Marshmallow is traditionally used particularly in connection with irritated mucous membranes in the mouth and throat, as well as the digestive tract.

Red elm – traditionally used bark components

Red elm (Ulmus rubra) comes from North America and is traditionally used for its mucilaginous bark.

Its plant mucilage can develop a gel-like consistency when mixed with water.

Aloe vera – plant extract with a long tradition

Aloe vera is a succulent plant that has been used for centuries in various cultures.

Depending on the plant part and manufacturing process used, the composition and properties of the extracts can differ significantly.

For dietary supplements, the quality and purity of the aloe vera extract used are particularly important.
