Licorice root may help support digestive health, respiratory function, and stress management. It has been traditionally used for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Dietary supplements, including licorice root, are not directly approved by the FDA. However, the FDA does regulate dietary supplements and requires manufacturers to follow good manufacturing practices (GMPs) to ensure the quality and safety of their products.
Licorice root is generally well-tolerated when taken in recommended doses. However, high doses or long-term use of licorice root may cause side effects such as high blood pressure, low potassium levels, and fluid retention.
The healthiest form of licorice is natural licorice root, which is free from added sugars and artificial flavors. However, it's essential to consume licorice in moderation, as excessive intake may lead to adverse effects.
People with high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney problems, or low potassium levels should avoid licorice or consult their doctor before consuming it. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before taking licorice root supplements.
Eating small amounts of natural licorice root occasionally is generally safe for most people. However, consuming large amounts of licorice daily, especially for prolonged periods, may lead to adverse effects and is not recommended without consulting a healthcare professional.
