NaturesPlus Herbal Actives Licorice (DGL) 500 mg - 60 Capsules, Pack of 2 - Supports Healthy Digestion & Overall Well-Being - Vegetarian, Gluten Free - 120 Total Servings

I wanted a herbal option for acid reflux (did not wish to take drugs) and, after extensive research, decided to give dgl licorice a try (I prefer Nature's Plus products). In the beginning, I took 2 pills about 20 minutes prior to each meal (I opened the capsules and mixed the powder with my mucus before swallowing). The taste was bitter but not bad to me (it makes your mouth/teeth black for a bit). As with all herbal remedies it took a few weeks before I started seeing an improvement. As bedtime was an issue for me, waking-up with the burning, I always took 2 right before I went to sleep -- it made all the difference. It has been a little over a year, I have weaned off of the product, and the reflux is gone. Note: I have hypertension and, even though it is dgl I was a little concerned it might affect this condition -- it did not raise my blood pressure at all. I am extremely happy with this product and feel it helped my body heal and reverse the reflux.

I love that this is prescription quality and vegetarian capsules. And the quantity of DGL is a good amount so you only need to take one a day. I haven't started taking it yet I look forward to using it. I did much research on licorice (DGL) and this seemed like the best one out there. in capsule form. Though my preference is a chewable tablet... BUT ALL the chewables have added unnecessary ingredients such as Anise and sugars and sugar substitutes. You can't find a plain ol licorice chewable anymore so I'm going to try this one. Seems very promising!!

This stuff has helped me a lot, in dealing with adrenal fatigue (undiagnosed) as well as thyroid issues due to Hashimotos. It also gives me a bit of a boost of energy, and I tend to take it on an empty stomach in the afternoon around 3 or 4pm. I have been using this for many months, and feel it has helped greatly.

Seems to help with reflux, but I notice that after taking it, my heart starts to pound and the pressure increases in my head - my blood pressure rising? This would likely be due to the glycyrrhizin level. What is not included in the information is what percentage of glycyrrhizin is present. I've taken a different brand's that had less than 1% without any problems. I'm concerned the level is quite a bit higher in this one.Since DGL should be activated by saliva I was opening the capsules in my mouth by chewing and the taste was not bad at all. It's a pity this particular brand us causing problems.

Excellent, I can’t even begin to tell you how good this product has worked for me. For months I’ve been sick, I had so many test and medical treatments done and nothing was working. I even had a endoscopy and my gallbladder taken out but I was still having acid reflux and heartburn. One day I decided to do a research for a more natural approach and between the aloe Vera and this pills, I can finally eat again. I completely stopped taking the pills weeks ago and feel better. Highly and extremely recommended.

I originally started with acute gastritis and the doctor wanted me to go on ppi's. I tried that for 2 months and realized it was starting to cause ibs. I then went off the ppi's and felt burning pain very bad. I decided to give these a shot and slowly the dgl has helped heal my stomach and my esophagus. I take 2 in the morning every day with a low-sugar yogurt and I am almost completely pain free. The only life changes I have made are walking more often after stressful days at work and going to bed no earlier than 3 hours after eating dinner.

Working very well for my reflux and I've tried lots of things. I did try a different brand a couple years ago but thought I'd try some again because I did not have any improvement....I'm so glad I did. I had to take more than it recommended the 1st couple of days, but now just 1 in the am and I'm good. No more coughing from phlegm!!!

I've been using this for a while and it really helps when I'm feeling some indigestion. As my nutritionist told me licorice is more effective when chewed (but most of the chewables have Xylitol and I'm doing low FODMAP so I didn't want - these have nothing extra in them), so I let the capsule dissolve in my mouth and swallow the contents (Or as another reviewer said just empty the capsule in your mouth) and it works better that way than swallowing the whole thing and the taste isn't bad. You just have to be careful because if the pill bursts in your mouth, you can end up inhaling the powder and coughing.
