It is a chelated compound in which a zinc ion is bound to L-carnosine, a dipeptide made from the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. The binding partner matters: it changes how the zinc behaves after ingestion, and it is the reason this compound appears in the research literature under its own name rather than as a generic zinc salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFull Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZinc L-carnosine\u003c\/strong\u003e - the chelated zinc form, the compound most studied in this category\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMastic gum\u003c\/strong\u003e - a resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, traditionally harvested on the Greek island of Chios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDGL licorice\u003c\/strong\u003e - deglycyrrhizinated licorice, meaning the glycyrrhizin compound has been removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eL-glutamine\u003c\/strong\u003e - the most abundant free amino acid in the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy DGL Rather Than Plain Licorice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhole licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which is the part associated with concerns around prolonged intake. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice has that fraction removed while keeping the rest of the root material. If a label says DGL, that is the distinction being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and Supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo capsules daily. Each bottle contains 120 capsules, a 60 day supply.
