    Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region.

Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems.

However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.
