Licorice Root 450mg | 100 capsules | Swanson

Swanson Licorice Root

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a classic herb that has been used for centuries, among other things in drop and confectionery. In this product, Swanson processes pure root powder into capsules. It is part of the Full Spectrum line, in which the whole root is used instead of an isolated compound such as glycyrrhizin.

Whole root powder

Each capsule contains 450 mg of dried licorice root. A serving of two capsules provides 900 mg. It is natural root powder, not a standardized extract or a deglycyrrhizinated form.

Pure composition

In addition to the root powder, the capsule contains only a small amount of anti-caking agent. It contains no artificial colors or flavors. Swanson checks the raw material for purity and origin before it is processed.

Caution with long-term use

Licorice root naturally contains glycyrrhizin. Therefore, do not take this product for an extended period or in large quantities, and take note of the points of attention under Safety. One bottle contains 100 capsules, which provides a fifty-day supply when taking a serving of two per day.

A classic herb

Licorice has been used since ancient times, from ancient Egypt to traditional Chinese and European cuisine. The sweet taste comes from glycyrrhizin, a substance that is many times sweeter than sugar. This product contains the whole root powder, so that glycyrrhizin is included. This is different from the deglycyrrhizinated variant, in which the substance has been largely removed. That is precisely why it is important to follow the dosage and the points of attention under Safety and not to use it continuously for an extended period. Swanson provides the powder pure, without artificial additives.
