The evidence in words
How much to take
Chewable DGL before meals for reflux/dyspepsia.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for DGL (Licorice); consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
It supports mucosal defense and mucus production in the stomach lining; removing glycyrrhizin avoids licorice's mineralocorticoid effects.
Bottom line
A useful, gentle option for heartburn and ulcers — but only as DGL. Never use high-glycyrrhizin licorice for this.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
