Licorice Root Extract

As the name suggests, licorice root is sweet - even a lot sweeter than, for example, cane sugar. From this licorice root - more precisely from its root extract - comes the popular black candy licorice. The plant originally comes from Central and Southwest Asia, and its roots have been attributed healing properties since ancient times. You can buy licorice root as an extract in the DGL Plus product from Pure Encapsulations® for normal mucous membrane function in the stomach and small intestine, for strong nerves and a healthy psyche.

Licorice Root & Its Effects

Records of licorice root and its effects can already be found in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians placed the sweet root in the graves of their pharaohs to ease their journey into the afterlife. In their opinion, licorice root helps to endure hunger and thirst. In early Greece and among the Romans, licorice root was already processed into licorice and chewed. In China, licorice root was attributed the widest spectrum of effects: it was used for healthy bones and muscles, and to support the skin. Even today, licorice root is still used there and is one of the most important remedies in Chinese tradition.

Marshmallow Root Extract & Its Effects

The marshmallow is a plant with pretty silvery leaves that blooms delicate pink in the summer months. In addition to their attractive appearance, marshmallow roots and leaves have a positive effect on your gastrointestinal system and your respiratory tract. The roots exert their effect due to their high content of mucilage. This mucilage forms a protective layer on your mucous membranes in the mouth, throat or even stomach and intestines. This is how marshmallow root unfolds its beneficial effect on the respiratory tract and the digestive tract. In DGL Plus®, you will find marshmallow root extract optimally coordinated with the other herbal ingredients.

Aloe Vera Extract

In addition to licorice root, marshmallow root, and slippery elm, you will also find aloe vera extract in the DGL Plus capsules from Pure Encapsulations®. Aloe vera enjoys great popularity and unfolds its effects in various ways. Most people know aloe vera from cosmetics, where it has been used since ancient times. As capsules, aloe vera extract has a positive effect on your entire gastrointestinal system, your digestion, and your bowel movements. It also helps maintain healthy skin, specifically the epithelial layer, stimulates your metabolism, and supports you during stressful periods. It also plays a role for women, as it has a positive effect on the female reproductive organs and contributes to the regulation of your menstrual cycle. Maintaining a normal blood sugar level and normal glucose-insulin metabolism also falls within its scope of action.
