Licorice Root

Licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been historically used to soothe digestion, modulate stress, and support immune health. Excessive intake can affect electrolyte balance and blood pressure. For product comparison, Licorice Root should be checked by exact form, plant part or compound type, standardization, amount per serving, and whether it is listed as an active ingredient, other ingredient, or part of a blend. Useful database notes include what it is used for, where it occurs naturally or how it is commonly sourced, and what shoppers should verify on the Supplement Facts label.
