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.

Choose your answer from:
- Glycyrrhizin is available in capsule forms. The effective dose is 500 mg daily , 20 mcg twice daily for children, and 60 mg twice daily for adults..
- 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..
- Glycyrrhizin can interact with other enzymes produced by licorice root, such as corn syrup, sulfasalazine, and methylprednisolone. The supplements are safe for this combination of ingredients..
- It is important to measure all the glycyrrhizin within a day of taking licorice root in order to avoid adverse effects. Licorice root is available in four forms: low-dose, broad dose, average dose, and high dose..
