More About Deglycyrrhised liquorice root 

Anti-ulcer

The deglycyrrhised form of liquorice (DGL) is clinically proven to treat ulcers in the upper digestive tract, due to its ability to stimulate the normal defence mechanisms that prevent ulcer formation. DGL improves the integrity of the mucosal surfaces of the intestinal tract, increasing the life span of intestinal cells and improving the blood supply to the intestinal mucosa.

Anti-inflammatory

The well-established anti-inflammatory activity is due to a 'cortisol-like' effect as well as an inhibition of phospholipase A2, which is responsible for the manufacture of inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Female Hormonal Tonic

Liquorice contains phytoestrogenic components, which are frequently employed to modify oestrogenic activity in the body due to their weak activity compared to human oestrogen and to their ability to bind to oestrogen receptors in cells. If the levels of oestrogen are too high, the herb's comparatively weak phytoestrogens can occupy receptors that otherwise could have been occupied by the much stronger hormone. If the oestrogenic activity in the body is too low, phytoestrogens can exert a mild positive oestrogenic effect. Research also suggests that licorice root may enhance progesterone activity by slowing its destruction in the liver.

Anti-viral

Active compounds in liquorice (glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid) enhance interferon activity, the body's natural anti-viral compound. Liquorice has shown an inhibitory effect on viruses associated with common colds, influenza, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) and herpes infections.

Detoxification

Scientific evidence has shown liver-supportive attributes that may justify the herb's traditional use in Chinese medicine as a powerful detoxifier.

Anti-allergic

The cortisol-like effect and the inhibition of certain prostaglandins and histamine activity add up to a substantial anti-allergic potential.
