Ingredients explained
Glycyrrhizin (from organic licorice extract and powder)
Glycyrrhizin is metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid, which may influence cortisol breakdown and support mucosal comfort by affecting inflammatory signaling in the gastrointestinal tract.
Caution: May raise blood pressure or affect potassium levels, especially at higher intakes or with prolonged use, due to mineralocorticoid-like effects.
Licorice root polyphenols and saponins (from organic licorice powder and extract)
Plant polyphenols and saponins may provide antioxidant activity and support a calm digestive lining by interacting with gut mucosa and free radicals.
Caution: Licorice constituents may interact with certain medications and could be stimulating for some individuals; monitor tolerance.
How they work together
Glycyrrhizin provides the primary bioactive influence on mucosal comfort and cortisol metabolism, while the broader polyphenols and saponins offer antioxidant and soothing actions on the digestive lining. Together, these constituents cover both signaling pathways and local mucosal support.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medication, have a medical condition, or are planning any medical procedure. Stop use and consult a healthcare practitioner if adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People with high blood pressure, heart concerns, kidney issues, or on diuretics or corticosteroids may need extra caution due to licorice’s glycyrrhizin content, which may affect fluid balance and blood pressure. Those with hormone-sensitive concerns should also be cautious. If combining with medications, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.

In the ancient texts, Ayurveda noted licorice as a promoter of strength. Its soothing, sweet taste is thought to coat the digestive canal and aid in digestion.
However, modern science has shown that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Unique and powerful components in Licorice seem to have immunomodulating actions supporting not only the digestive system but also the respiratory tree, the liver, and even the adrenal glands.
