Thorne GI Relief (formerly GI-Encap) combines four soothing botanical extracts - deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, and aloe vera gel - to support digestive comfort, calm the mucous membranes of the upper GI tract, and ease occasional bloating, heartburn, and stomach discomfort. Each bottle contains 180 capsules formulated by Thorne, the #1 recommended clinical brand by US healthcare practitioners, with third-party testing for purity and potency.

Why This Supplement Works

The four botanicals in Thorne GI Relief work together to coat and soothe the gastrointestinal lining. DGL, marshmallow, and slippery elm provide mucilage-rich polysaccharides that form a protective film over irritated mucous membranes. Aloe vera gel adds calming polysaccharides without the laxative effect of whole-leaf aloe, while the licorice has glycyrrhizin removed to support digestive comfort without affecting blood pressure.

Key Botanicals

Each two-capsule serving of Thorne GI Relief delivers the following research-backed botanical extracts:

• Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice (DGL) extract (Glycyrrhiza spp. root) - 350 mg, soothing flavonoids and polysaccharides with glycyrrhizin removed

• Marshmallow extract (Althaea officinalis root) - 200 mg, mucilage that forms a protective film over mucous membranes

• Slippery Elm bark (Ulmus rubra) - 100 mg, traditional botanical mucilage for digestive comfort

• Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis gel, DaltonMax 700) - 50 mg, inner-leaf gel only, no laxative effect

Other ingredients: Hypromellose (vegetarian) capsule, Leucine, Silicon Dioxide. Gluten-free. Contents NSF certified.

How to Take

Take one to two capsules of Thorne GI Relief with each meal, or as recommended by your healthcare provider. Taking with food helps the soothing botanicals contact the GI lining where they work best. Separate Thorne GI Relief from other medications and oral supplements by at least two hours, as the mucilaginous herbs can bind and reduce absorption. Alternatively, open a capsule and stir the contents into warm water to make a soothing tea.
