NusaPureDGL Licorice Extract 500 mg 200 Veggie Capsules (Vegan,Non-GMO)

See bottom for update. This stuff is amazing. I have had bad heartburn and acid reflux for years and now feel like a new person because of DGL. I am including some backstory to help you understand how bad this was for me. I have been taking 20mg Omeprozole/Prilosec (I also tried the same dosage with Nexium for a while) for somewhere around 15 years, on the advice of my primary doctor. It relieved a fair amount of heartburn, but not completely. I tried weaning off Prilosec numerous times over the past 10 years but found it too painful. I would often be taking extra zantac/ranitidine, pepto, tums daily, on top of Prilosec. If I was sleeping, I would often wake up choking and gagging and eventually get sick because the back of my throat was filled with stomach acid. It was a horrible feeling, and had to learn how to sleep with my upper body elevated. I followed all the usual doctor recommendations such as avoiding spicy/acidic/fatty foods, foods that specifically flared up heartburn, eating smaller portions, adjust posture, not eating later in the evening, etc. Following those recommendations didn't provide any noticeable benefit.A few years ago I had 2 expensive surgeries done in an attempt to fix the problem; repairing both a hernia and also my stomach valve. That helped with about 85% of the regurgitation, but a little would still escape my stomach now and then. The surgery improved my quality of life, and I could now sleep more soundly at night, and no longer needed to be elevated. However, I still needed to take Prilosec since the surgeries did not actually fix the heartburn. Every other day I would also need to take a zantac or swig of Pepto or some other aid. Primary doctor continued to tell me all the same old things - stay on prilosec, dont eat spicy foods, blah blah blah. I took it upon myself to try a carbohydrate restricted diet with less sugar and wheat/oats, and found it had a moderate impact. I still needed Prilosec every day, but no longer required help from other antacids.Ok, backstory over. I stumble upon DGL. I started taking 2 pills a day (I know suggestion size is only 1), one in the morning and another at night. A few days after starting DGL I took a chance and dropped Prilosec cold turkey. Heartburn is almost completely gone! Occasionally I may feel a very slight burning sensation, but it never seems to escalate beyond that. For over 10 years I have not been able to drink beer without massive antacid prevention before drinking and then afterward and still would feel miserable and bloated. I can now have a huge mug of beer without taking anything. If you have chronic heartburn and want to avoid or wean off from PPI's, this might just do the trick.I know I sound like a snake oil salesman when I say this, but I am truly a new person because of this product.Update. I have been on this product for about a month and a half, taking 1 pill in the morning and another in the evening. This took care of the worst of the heartburn. Due to issues with how my throat muscles swallow (food gets stuck sometimes because it is not being pushed down properly), the stomach surgery could not fully tighten the valve so I still get the occasional regurgitation. While on DGL the heartburn would not be as intense and would not last nearly as long as before. A swig of Pepto once a day or every other would take care of most remaining heartburn well enough. Even with pretty extreme stomach issues, I am still off Prilosec/Zantac/Ranitidine and chewable antacids since starting this product so I still stand by my 5 star review. A few weeks ago I decided to also add Slippery Elm (Now brand, 400mg). After some testing I found that 2 pills in the morning and 1 in the evening make any regurgitation even easier to deal with. This combo of DGL and Slippery Elm is seriously amazing.

After years of suffering from GERD, Acid Reflux and even having ulcers and esophageal varices - I was on Omeprazole.First 1 a day then twice a day. Shortly after I had to start supplementing Calcium and Magnesium to replace what it was depleting from my body.Fast forward like FIFTEENISH years !! It starts being told we are never meant to be on this crap long. It is supposed to be SHORT TERM! They tell us the damage this medication is actually doing to our bodies !! I Feverishly began my research and started searching how to get off this deadly medication and still not have the horrible pain I experienced with out it.I landed on THIS PRODUCT.I AM THRILLED !!I read TONS of the reviews here. I went to encyclopedias - My local health supplement store - I used "DuckDuckGO" (similar to google- but they don't track your searches and feed you ads after)RESULTS ???It's been 3 months -I AM COMPLETELY OFF OMERAZOLE !!! YAY !!I used the first month to ween off it. 2 weeks to get off the morning pill, taking the licorice root in it's place.Then I dropped the afternoon pill and took licorice pill in its place. I had maybe 3 times I suffered a little heartburn so I used 1 tums in that instance. Problem solved. I have not had one time like years ago where I would lay awake in bed with severe pain - crying thinking I was having a heart attack - or severe heart burn. Digestion is actually much better and no super gassy issues either !!I am SUPER grateful for this product !! I may in the future think of dropping to 1 pill a day but for right now I will not mess with a good thing. I want my body to have time to adjust and heal from this medication.THANK YOU FOR THIS PRODUCT !!!!!

Seem to be helping with GERD - better than taking medication. Still puzzled (and concerned) by label on bottle and in Amazon ad that product has 3800 mg in each capsule. This cannot be correct, or it would be damaging and possibly killing people - it must only have 380 mg per capsule. Amazon and NusaPure should fix this since it is false advertising and could get them in trouble legally.

Thank God these came earlier than expected. Once they arrived, I took two about 3 hours apart, to hurry, and get it in my system. I noticed the difference right away, and was able to sleep that night. Prior to taking these, I was toggling back and forth between the baking soda, and apple cider vinegar remedy. Eating oatmeal, and banana, apples, none of that worked perminantly, even would cut out any eating, and drinking after 6, so all could digest in the next 5+ hours before bed at 11:30. Constipated, and even just drinking water was causing the acid to stir up. I had to sleep sitting up in my bed. I could not have a bowel movement unless I used a laxative. Acid coming up my esophagus for about two weeks straight now, was causing me much affliction. I kept researching, found this product on Amazon, read the reviews that pertained to acid reflux, and ordered. I am glad I did. Slept great last night, and no burn feeling in my esophagus right now. Was actually able to eat raisin bran this morning, and use the bathroom on my own without a laxative. I also stopped drinking water, and switched to coconut water as well. The combo is giving great results quickly. Great product. Don’t hesitate to buy it. I wish I would have been the wiser sooner.

I order this for my husband and he says it great. He takes it for his teeth. Since he's been taking it he hasn't had any cavities and he feels his teeth are whiter. It's very easy to swallow and no after taste.
