How to take licorice root
Distinguish between the two types of licorice root supplements.
Licorice root naturally contains an extremely sweet component called glycyrrhizin. While glycyrrhizin is completely safe in small, infrequent amounts, it can leads to health complications if consumed long-term.
As such, if you are considering taking licorice root supplements habitually, make sure to choose a deglycyrrhizinated (dgl) supplement. The bottle should report the amounts of glycyrrhizin the dgl supplements contain.
