Licorice Root
Gaia Herbs
Overview
This licorice root extract is traditionally used for digestive support, with potential benefits due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. While research suggests that licorice root may have a beneficial effect on liver fibrosis and ulcerative colitis, the precise levels of key constituents that influence efficacy are not specified, and more research is needed to confirm these benefits. The 1:2 herb strength ratio means that 1 part herb is extracted into 2 parts solution, which implies it is a relatively dilute solution.
