All the power of liquorice with minimal glycyrrhizin

Suitable for everyone

Liquorice is widely recognised for its many properties, but its traditional consumption can be limited due to glycyrrhizin content. For those who wish to benefit from all its properties without restrictions, low-glycyrrhizin liquorice extract (DGL) is an excellent alternative. The capsule format allows for precise and convenient dosing, ensuring easy and seamless dietary incorporation. By practically eliminating glycyrrhizin, the extract retains the valuable compounds of liquorice, providing an ideal option for those more sensitive to this compound.

Very low glycyrrhizin content – what does it mean?

Glycyrrhizin is a natural compound found in liquorice root, responsible for its characteristic sweet taste, which is up to 50 times sweeter than sugar. It is a type of saponin, a molecule with foaming and bioactive properties that occurs in various plants. In liquorice, glycyrrhizin is one of its main components. Its presence in the root is a defining trait of this plant, as it provides many of its traditional characteristics.

A perfect option for prolonged use

Thanks to our extract's formulation, with minimal glycyrrhizin, it has become a product suitable for everyone and is ideal due to its enhanced flexibility. With the capsule format, we ensure a guaranteed intake of 250mg of high-concentration extract per unit, making its use convenient, practical, and precise, adaptable to any routine.

This way, the power of DGL liquorice becomes accessible to all, offering a versatile and practical option for those looking to use it, whether or not they have sensitivity to glycyrrhizin, on a daily and long-term basis.
