• DGL is a deglycyrrhizinated licorice extract (10:1) delivering 400 mg per chewable tablet, which soothes the stomach and esophagus by stimulating the production of mucin to protect the GI lining and support ulcer healing.
• The glycyrrhizin is removed, making this formula safe for people with high blood pressure while still delivering the traditional benefits of licorice for supporting digestion and heartburn relief.
• Convenient chewable tablets activate quickly when chewed and should be taken about 20 minutes before meals for best results.
• May help inhibit H. pylori and reduce GI inflammation, contributing to long-term gastric health and comfort.

Description
For centuries, licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been used in traditional medicine to aid digestion and treat stomach complaints, including heartburn and indigestion. However, licorice in its natural form contains a compound called glycyrrhizin that can raise blood pressure and cause other potentially severe side effects in some people.
DGL stands for “deglycyrrhizinated licorice”. It is an extract of licorice root that contains no glycyrrhizin, so it’s completely safe, even for people with high blood pressure. DGL decreases the symptoms associated with acid reflux from the stomach. It soothes the irritated lining of the esophagus and stomach, and also protects against ulcers by stimulating the production of mucin, the slippery protective coating of the stomach and intestines. DGL is also effective in promoting the healing of canker sores.
-

-

-
Stimulates mucin production to protect the stomach lining
-

Scientific research has confirmed these benefits of DGL. Double-blind clinical studies also show DGL is as effective as acid-blocking drugs.
In order to be effective, DGL tablets must be chewed so the DGL mixes with saliva, which activates it in the digestive tract. Taking DGL before every meal is a safe and effective natural alternative to antacids.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Natural Factors, and is it a trustworthy supplement brand?
Natural Factors is a Canadian-owned supplement manufacturer founded in 1948 and headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia. One of North America's largest supplement makers, it operates over 1,000 acres of certified organic farmland in BC's Okanagan Valley and manufactures in-house at Health Canada-licensed, FDA-inspected facilities. Every product is third-party tested through ISURA for over 800 contaminants including pesticides and heavy metals. Natural Factors is also B Corp certified, meeting rigorous environmental and social standards.
What is Natural Factors and is it a reliable Canadian supplement brand?
Natural Factors is one of Canada's largest supplement manufacturers, founded in 1955 by Jack and Rona Katz in British Columbia and still 100% Canadian family-owned. The company controls every production stage from raw material sourcing to finished product. Its facility holds TGA certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration, one of the world's strictest supplement manufacturing standards. All products are ISURA certified — independently tested for 800+ contaminants including pesticides and heavy metals — and Natural Factors conducts four rounds of product testing, double the industry average of two.
What sets Natural Factors apart from other supplement brands?
Natural Factors' most distinctive quality is vertical integration: the company grows its own raw herbs on 1,000+ acres of certified organic farmland in BC's Okanagan Valley, then processes and manufactures in-house. Most supplement brands source raw materials from external suppliers with no direct agricultural control. Natural Factors also uses ISURA third-party testing, a Canadian standard that screens for over 800 contaminants, well beyond typical heavy-metal panels. B Corp certification further reflects a documented commitment to environmental and social accountability, not just a marketing claim.
What makes Natural Factors different from other Canadian supplement manufacturers?
Natural Factors holds TGA certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration — one of the world's most rigorous pharmaceutical manufacturing standards, rarely earned by Canadian brands and far exceeding most North American certification requirements. Its ISURA testing program screens every product for 800+ contaminants, and it conducts four rounds of quality testing per product versus the industry standard of two. The company also operates its own farm in the Okanagan Valley for select botanical ingredients — a level of vertical integration uncommon among supplement manufacturers — and has been family-owned for over 70 years.
