DGL is most likely hepatoprotective, meaning it will reduce ill effect or even improve the physical state and function of the liver. In a Chinese research study using an herbal concoction called gan-xian-fang, of which DGL is a component, they measured a marked improvement in patients with hepatic fibrosis resulted from hepatitis B⁴.

This study was a double-blind controlled trial funded by the Chinese Ministry of Public Health and published in the Chinese Medical Journal giving scientifically valid results. This research is not conclusive, given that DGL is not isolated for its actions, but it does reinforce of potential benefits and safety.

How is it used ??

Supplementing with 1-3 grams of DGL in its pure, powder form, typically report positive results in terms of perceived energy and alertness. This would be the dosage I would recommend to the athlete desiring to supplement with DGL. This dosing is predicated on the safety data foremost, which is considerable.

It should be noted that Red Bull® has 600 mg. of DGL, but also has other substances that may work in additive or synergistic fashion (e.g. caffeine, taurine, B-vitamins) that may necessitate a lower dose to yield the desired effects.
