Nova Vitae Licorice Root Extract DGL 100 Chewable Tablets

Nova Vitae Licorice Root Extract DGL

Many varieties of licorice are cultivated in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
It is an easy-to-grow, winter-hardy plant that also occurs in the Netherlands.
Harvesting the roots takes time. This is only possible after 3 to 4 years. Before the roots can be harvested, it takes at least 3 to 4 years.
Licorice is used in many foods and pharmaceuticals for its flavor, sweetener, and other ingredients.

Untreated licorice contains glycyrrhizin. This substance provides the characteristic sweet taste, but it is also a substance that should be used with caution as it can increase blood pressure.
It is therefore important that this substance is not present in a licorice root dietary supplement.

What is deglycyrrhizinated (DGL) licorice?
Natural licorice contains the substance glycyrrhizin. If pure, untreated licorice is consumed in large quantities, glycyrrhizin can, for example, cause very high blood pressure.
Through a special extraction process, it is possible to extract the substance glycyrrhizin from the licorice root, after which a safe supplement can be produced that has been used for centuries as a traditional medicine in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
