Your gastrointestinal tract requires support in order to stay in good shape. The gastrointestinal tract includes the small and large intestine‚ as well as the stomach. GI tract problems can interfere with your body's absorption of essential nutrients‚ possibly leading to other health problems.
Fortunately‚ Pure Encapsulations' DGL Plus® is a convenient source of natural compounds that may provide this support. Each capsule contains a synergistic blend of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)‚ along with several other herbal extracts. Licorice has been used for centuries in ancient civilizations‚ as well as throughout modern Asia and Europe. One of these potential uses is to relieve mild stomach acid.
DGL works to maintain and increase levels of the mucus that comprises your stomach's protective lining. This mucosal lining secretes the enzymes that support the digesPEtive process and promote comfort in the intestines‚ while helping protect the rest of your body from the acidic environment the stomach requires in order to digest and process the food you eat.
Meanwhile‚ the marshmallow root in this supplement may protect and soothe mucous membranes with the mucilage polysaccharides it contains. For its part‚ slippery elm bark may cause your body to secrete more mucous in the GI tract‚ promoting gut comfort. Finally‚ aloe vera extract is widely known for its overall soothing potential.
