Ingredient:

Two chewable tablet contains:

Rhizinate contains a unique chewable extract of deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) widely used in Europe. DGL must be chewed, because combining saliva with DGL's natural compounds promotes absorption and ensures optimum value. In deglycyrrhizinated licorice, the glycyrrhizin -a compound associated with high blood pressure-has been removed.

Study has found that while the acid-blocking drug cimetidine (Tagamet) led to quicker symptom relief, chewable deglycyrrinizated licorice (DGL) tablets were just as effective at healing stomach ulcers and keeping them healed without side effect. Chewable DGL is also helpful in treating ulcers of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Capsules of DGL may not work for ulcers; apparently DGL must mix with saliva to be activated.

DGL can be used to speed up healing of painful canker sore inside the mouth. Chew the tablet into a paste, then use your tongue to coat the sore with the paste. The paste will eventually dissolve in your mouth-repeat this four times a day. DGL appears to work by thickening the mucosal lining of your mouth, where canker sores often form.
