GutGard®: A patented herbal extract of de-glycyrrhized Liquorice (low glycyrrhizin content) to soothe and restore the gut lining along the digestive tract. Deglycyrrhized Liquorice is in a form that has been processed for safer consumption. This makes DGL safer for long-term use and has less interactions with medical conditions or medications than whole Liquorice extract. Known traditionally as a gut restorative herb, the active extract of Liquorice has now been scientifically studied and shown to help heal and restore the digestive tract, resulting in a better and improved digestive process. Natural, effective solution for digestive health
GutGard® features the following benefits: A natural alternative to antacids, a patented extract of Liquorice with ultra-low glycyrrhizin content (NMT 0.5%), a patented process which retains therapeutically important flavonoids (NLT 10%), supportive and effective in managing symptoms of functional dyspepsia and Helicobacter pylori infection.
A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of GutGard® (root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra) in the management of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastric load. Participants diagnosed with H. pylori infection were randomly assigned to two groups to orally receive 150 mg of GutGard® (n = 55) or placebo (n = 52) once daily for 60 days. On day 60, the results of (13) C-UBT were negative in 24 (48%) in GutGard® treated group and the difference between the groups was statistically significant. The findings suggest GutGard® is effective in the management of H. pylori.
