NaturesPlus Herbal Actives Licorice (DGL) 500 mg - 60 Capsules, Pack of 3 - Supports Healthy Digestion & Overall Well-Being - Vegetarian, Gluten Free - 180 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 originally purchased this after researching ways to help with weight loss and IBS related issue. I can honestly say these are the best!! I have read that you should not take them longer then 2 weeks at a time and then 2 weeks off. I am not sure but I highly recommend you research for your self. What I can say is holy moly they give me energy (which I was not even expecting) but not jittery at all, I just feel like a normal human being. I only take one capsule every other day and have noticed 4lbs weight loss (not even trying) and my ibs syymptoms are improving. I swear I don't know how but they are greatly reducing my cravings so I am eating less and being more active since I have more energy. I am going to stop taking them for a week and then I will go back on them. I really honestly do just feel better. I also will mention I started taking milk thistle extract as well as cholera tablets at the same time so I am not 100% as to which or all things are helping but I don't care I found a combo of vitamins that are working for me and I am sooo excited about it! Please research on your own the benefits of licorice root, chlorella and milk thistle.

I bought this to help with heartburn issues and so far it seems like it's working. I have GERD and take Prilosec that doesn't seem to help much anymore. I wanted to try something that wasn't a prescription drug and read good things about DGL licorice. I haven't had any issues since I started on it which has been about a month.

It really works for acid reflux and an irritated stomach. I didn't understand at first that you're supposed to chew them, so I swallowed a couple and thought, well this doesn't do anything. Once I read somewhere to chew them, I tried that and immediately noticed that it helped. I've always a little bit of GERD and just a delicate stomach that doesn't like big meals, fried food, etc. But a month of two ago something went really awry-- I was a little sick and then afterwards, weird stomach aches and lots of heartburn. Like another reviewer, I'm not old, I'm not overweight- in fact underweight, and I eat very healthfully. So I didn't fit the profile other than that I needed to ditch the coffee and soda, and cut back the wine. After a failed round of Nexium (doctor said only four days), I went looking for natural remedies and this was one of the most frequently recommended. I'd say give it a shot.

I have purchased the original NaturesPlus licorice (DGL) for over 6 years. It did work great at helping and calming my stomach. This new product is different in appearance and horrible!! It's now very bitter and I had a burning sensation in my esophagus and stomach a little while after I had taken it.I am now stuck with 2 bottles of an awful product that messed up my stomach.Do Not Buy!!

Reorder of a great item I've been using for a long time. Delivered on time.

I thought this was a decent product, but not necessarily great. I take this to soothe stomach issues that came from having ulcers, and DGL normally helps quite a bit (so long as the manufacturer does not put in an artificial sweetener like Stevia or Xylitol, which cause stomach pain for me). This product does not have much in the way of extra ingredients, but there were times I used it where my stomach would be bothering me a bit for a few days. When I discontinued using this, my stomach pains went away. The other issue is that the capsule contents tend to harden after only a couple of weeks. This may make it more challenging to digest. It is still a better product than other DGL products with artificial sweeteners, but it was not a great solution for me in the long term.

So far for about almost 4 year I've been using medication for my Acid reflux and some of them gave him side affects. Buy I always want to use an alternative of herbs to use for my reflux. My doctor did a endoscopy and colonoscopy and found what superficial ulcer and what makes me mad is that all I had to do is change my diet and I did now I'm just completely just eat fruits and vegetables cooked and raw. I don't mind eating that but I know it going to take awhile for it to heal doing that. But sometimes I get mild reflux with that until I found this after 4 years I fell in love with it but also drinking chlorophyll with it what these two products all natural and so far no side affects I thank God for natural remedies like this that exists. I'm in love I feel amazing but still in eating fruits and veggies but I'm so happy.
