Licorice Root-V (Glycyrrhizin)

Douglas Laboratories Licorice Root-V with Glycyrrhizin – 60 count

Douglas Laboratories Licorice Root-V with Glycyrrhizin provides microbial support in order to improve digestion and gastrointestinal microbiome.

Microbial Support in the Stomach
Licorice Root-V, provided by Douglas Laboratories, supplies 500 mg of licorice root standardized to 12% glycyrrhizin per each vegetarian capsule. Licorice has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years to support the body, including gastrointestinal system health.*

Digestive Benefit
In terms of surface area, the gastrointestinal tract comprises one of the largest organs in the body. The roles that it plays are varied and extend well beyond simply moving and digesting food to allow for the absorption of nutrients. In addition to acting as a barrier against the harsh external environment, the digestive system also represents one of the body’s largest immune organs, possessing an intricate lymph network. The gastrointestinal tract houses a highly complex ecosystem that contains trillions of microorganisms. Research continues to uncover new ways in which beneficial bacteria can positively impact health, expanding beyond the confines of the digestive tract to include cardiovascular health, cognition, weight management and more.‡

For the short term until symptoms improve:
– Consider the SCD diet (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) or AIP diet (Autoimmune Paleo Diet), both of which will limit complex
carbohydrate disaccharides and polysaccharides, lactose and sucrose that may benefit patients with SIBO.
– Consider eating a diet low in FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols), which
include the classes of fermentable sugars and sugar alcohols that contribute to fermentation in the GI tract, resulting in gas
and bloating
