Pure EncapsulationsDGL Plus - Gut Health Supplements for Men & Women - with Marshmallow Root, Aloe Vera Extract & Slippery Elm Bark - Non-GMO & Vegan - 60 Capsules

My wife said they work great. No side effects.

It’s different for different people. Some people can take it a few minutes before meals. I have to take it at least 20 minutes before meal & no nausea/vomiting/upset stomach/gerd. Taken right before meal caused n/v/upset stomach Actually seems to help stomach lining 3 days after taking it right before meals. Stopped for 3 days. Now at least 20 minutes before. Feels good even an hour before meal. I take 1x/day.

This combination supplement has really improved my overall "gut" health. I felt better within hours of taking my first capsule.

Product recommended so giving it a try for gut health.

I wrote email to Pure Encapsulations company (purecaps.com) and their response was "We do not answer questions on amazon.com and we do not have an approved amazon.com seller". I wonder who this imposter company is then !!!! Amazon needs to check this.I had GERD & severe gas problem that popped up suddenly, which made it hard to even get sleep. Studied various nutrition/diet/herbal approaches from many websites. First tried NOW "Super Enzymes" because i came to know that Betaine HCL was contained in it. After 4 days of that, i did not get complete relief, so i added this product. This has to be taken 20 mins prior to meal, preferably mixed with saliva (which means you will have to take the powder out of capsule). Within 2 days, my problems disappeared. But according to the literature i see on net, DGL has to be taken for a few weeks, to be therapeutic. The dosage suggested is about 380mg, with meals, for a treatment of about 2 months (which is my plan, before i taper off). ......You see, i started getting diarrhea after a week, if i took it for 3x/day. Aloe Vera, has that laxative effect, even though this product says it is from inner fillet of Aloe. Also note that the digestive tract will be coated with these ingredients and hence the absorbtion of nutrients will be lower than optimal, when you eat food after this. Consequently, one would lose weight (DGL does that too). I would suggest to reformulate product to have less Aloe, more DGL and split the capsules into half doses, so that consumer can control the amount that they can take per meal. But then, this company is not reading amazon comments or questions !! If you are taking other herbs, do your research and check for cross-effects.Here is some additional information: Pure Encapsulations company tests for glycrrhizinic acid and their acceptable levels are below 3%. Notice that no DGL product can have 0% glycrrhizine. According to Natural Medicine Journal (http://naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2012-09/aloe-vera-gel-research-review), therapeutic dosage of aloe in humans is maximum 100mg/day. In fact, i have not seen many research studies on the "INTERNAL" consumption of aloe in humans. So, if i take this product 3x/day, i will be exceeding the dosage given in the citations at above link. Perhaps this explains the diarrhea that i get, if i take this for more than a week (3x/d, mixed with my saliva). On the positive side, this is the only product on amazon that does not have sugar or sugar related ingredients (fructose etc.) in the ingredient label. So, i give it a 5 star overall.

These started working for me from the first capsule, this stuff works! Makes me wonder why doctors prescribe PPIs before suggesting effective and less harmful alternatives like DGL. While there may be a blood pressure side effect for some people, that’s preferable to dementia. My goal is to take as few Big Pharma medications as possible and minimize additives like titanium dioxide, etc. i also found an antacid with minimal ingredients Wonderbelly also sold on Amazon.

Was told to buy this after stopping omeprazole and having bad rebound. Every time I took this, I felt kind-of like I was dreaming, I felt really weird and detached from reality. Upon research apparently it made my blood pressure go up which makes you feel "off." It occurs literally every single time I take this, and I'm 80% certain the DGL is what's causing it, as I have taken everything else on the ingredient list separate as a stand alone supplement without any issue. So if you are sensitive or have blood pressure issues, I'd stay away. 3 stars because I'm sure it does help, but I just am too sensitive nor were there any warnings of side effects.

This stuff turned my health around. My health has been terribly compromised because of Covid complications. One of the things (besides sepsis, pneumonia, sinus infection, and an entire other wash-list of serious problems) was GERD, inflamed esophagus.... At the hospital they gave me protonic, without explanation together with 4 antibiotic treatments.... When they send me home I had lots of digestive issues, but the protonic seemed to be my friend the first two weeks... Still couldn't sleep laying down at all (that was a dream), i would wake up with very very low temperature and cold sweats every night. I started taking 1 protonic divided in morning and pm. That helped a bit. BUT... once i gained a little strength and brainpower I started researching what it actually did... And by the way i was craving sugar, and undigested stools, I started to realize something was very off with those pills (and me). Found out that protonic created the perfect low acidity for candida to take over my body in no time. *ugh* and so I stopped taking them, and replaced it with this supplement in the morning afternoon and evening for a week, together with a no sugar, minimal carb diet and a bunch of other stuff to aid candida die off. Now I am 3 weeks in and I take it when I wake up in the morning. My stomach is doing much better. My acid reflux is very much under control, i feel it also helps I completely cut the sugars and simple carbs. But I believe this supplement is what made it all turn around for me.
