Rhizinate (100 chewable tablets)

Rhizinate® Licorice extract
Chewable licorice tablet for quick relief of occasional stomach discomfort

Rhizinate is deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) in a fructose-free chewable formula for fast, soothing, digestive relief.* DGL has been shown to support the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines.*

The stomach maintains an acidic pH that helps to initiate digestion and promote microbial defense, yet its epithelial tissues must simultaneously be shielded against harsh acidic conditions. The stomach’s protective mucin barrier must be intact in order to protect stomach health and comfort.

Patients who experience an occasional discomfort after consuming coffee, spicy or fried foods may benefit from supplementing with a plant-based agent such as deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), which has been shown to support the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines.*

Rhizinate is DGL in a fructose-free chewable formula, which allows it to mix with saliva for direct action on the gastric mucosa.* Rhizinate works by stimulating natural protective factors in the digestive tract that help relieve occasional stomach discomfort.* In Rhizinate, the glycyrrhizin compound contains <1%—which may have a blood pressure-raising effect in some people—has been removed.

Q&A

How does Rhizinate® work?

Rhizinate® stimulates and accelerates the natural protective factors in the digestive tract, which helps relieve stomach discomfort immediately.† It’s provided in a chewable form because saliva enhances the effect of the natural compounds in DGL (the key ingredient). Clinical trials have documented the soothing effects of Rhizinate® on the stomach lining and intestines.†

Will Rhizinate® affect my blood pressure levels?

No. The long-term safety and efficacy of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) has been clinically documented. In one study, participants took DGL for two years without evidence of adverse effects. While large amounts of licorice (>50 grams daily) have been known to alter blood pressure levels, in DGL, glycyrrhizin, the compound associated with high blood pressure, has been removed.

Is it safe to use Rhizinate® on a long term basis?
Yes. The long term safety and efficacy of Rhizinate® has been documented. Rhizinate® has been proven safe for long-term use without any adverse affects.

Licorice has a long history of use in supporting a healthy stomach and gastrointestinal system.† It is the presence of the glycyrrhizic acid in the licorice root that is responsible for some adverse effects. As the glycyrrhizic acid is removed in DGL, the risk of adverse effects has been eliminated.
