Swanson Licorice Root 450mg – 100Caps – Digestive & Respiratory Health

Natural Licorice Root 450 mg capsules deliver herbal support for digestion and throat comfort. Each bottle includes 100 veggie capsules—ideal for convenient, daily use. Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has long been used in traditional medicine for digestive relief, soothing coughs, and supporting the respiratory tract

Potential Benefits

• Digestive Comfort: Often used to relieve indigestion and IBS symptoms when combined with other herbs

• Respiratory & Throat Soothing: Licorice lozenges or extracts may help ease chronic cough and sore throat 

• Liver & Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Traditional use includes support for liver health and inflammation, though current evidence remains limited

• Skin Applications: While not oral, topical licorice extract offers brightening and anti-inflammatory benefits—though not directly applicable to capsules 

Important Safety Considerations
Licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which may cause adverse effects even at modest consumption levels.

• Blood Pressure & Electrolyte Imbalance: Licorice can cause sodium retention and potassium loss, leading to high blood pressure and muscle symptoms

• Dose‑Dependent Risks: Serious side effects may arise from extended use—especially above 100 mg/day of glycyrrhizin or over 3 g/day of licorice root for more than 6 weeks

• Pregnancy Concerns: High intake during pregnancy is linked to premature birth and cognitive or behavioral issues in children

• Drug Interactions: Licorice may interfere with medications including blood pressure drugs, corticosteroids, warfarin, digoxin, and others—and may reduce efficacy or amplify side effects

Usage & Cautions

• Moderation is Critical: Given the mild glycyrrhizin content, track total intake across all sources.

• Consult Healthcare Providers: Especially vital for individuals with hypertension, heart or kidney issues, pregnant or nursing women, or those on medications.

• Prefer Deglycyrrhizinated Forms: For safer digestive support, consider DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice), which reduces risk of glycyrrhizin-related side effects

• Monitor Blood Pressure & Potassium: Especially with prolonged use or higher dosages.
