Licorice Has a long history of use for digestive support and more recently in many supportive bloating supplements for occasional use. Gutgard licorice flavonoids are entirely different from DGL with respect to chemistry, composition, manufacturing, and mechanisms of action. While a classical extract of DGL does not contain any significant quantity of flavonoids, Gutgard is standardized to contain more than 10% total flavonoids and less than 0.5% glycyrrhizin to avoid undesirable effects. More than 50 flavonoids have been identified in Gutgard which have been shown to have beneficial activity for digestive support. Gutgard licorice can also relieve occasional indigestion, bloating, and gas at 150mg/day.* Artichoke Extract Artichoke leaf extract has been used traditionally as a digestive aid. The bitter compounds are responsible for the benefits of artichoke. In 2003, German researchers demonstrated that 640mg/day of artichoke leaf extract significantly improved digestive issues like occasional bloating and fullness. Though the study was conducted over 6 weeks, the majority of the study group saw results in the first week.* Ginger Root Has been used to support gut health and as a digestive aid in Eastern practice for generations. Ginger extracts with a higher gingerol content (20-30% gingerols) are stronger and more effective at providing digestive support. In 2015, an Italian study of 126 patients found that the daily combination of 40 mg of ginger extracts (25-30% gingerols) with 200 mg of artichoke leaf extracts reduced the frequency of occasional digestive issues like bloating, early satiety, and abdominal discomfort 17% more effectively than just artichoke leaf extract alone. While most ginger extracts only contain 5% gingerols, MegaGuard contains 60 mg of potent ginger root extract (20% gingerols). Together these ingredients may support occasional minor bloating relief for women or bloating relief for men.*
