CLINICAL APPLICATIONS Supports Gastrointestinal Health Helps Maintain a Healthy Mucosal Surface in the Stomach Promotes a Healthy Esophageal Lining Ingredients DGL Historically used to support the gastric mucosa, studies have shown glycyrrhetic acid helps maintain high levels of prostaglandins in the stomach by blocking the activity of two enzymes involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins E and F2-alpha, resulting in extra protection for the gastric mucosa. Marshmallow Root Marshmallow root is a traditional demulcent (soothing) herb with a long history of use for coating the gastric lining. Marshmallow root contains mucilage polysaccharides, which swell when mixed with liquid, providing a soothing property to mucous membranes. Aloe Vera Concentrate Aloe vera, like marshmallow root and slippery elm bark, is a demulcent that has been used throughout history, and has been shown to maintain normal inflammatory balance. Slippery Elm Bark Slippery elm bark is a traditional demulcent that has been used for centuries. Slippery elm bark is rich in mucilage which helps maintain normal inflammatory balance. Suggested Use Chew 1-2 tablets per day or as recommended by your health care professional. More Info.
