Whole licorice root extract at 900 mg per capsule -traditionally used to soothe the stomach lining, support healthy cortisol balance, and ease throat and respiratory discomfort. Contains natural glycyrrhizin; see safety note below.
Why It Works
Why Licorice Root Has a 2,000-Year Track Record
Soothes the Stomach Lining
Glycyrrhizin and its metabolite glycyrrhetinic acid help stimulate mucus secretion in the gastric lining, forming a protective layer that shields the mucosal wall. This is the same mechanism behind licorice-derived DGL, but in the whole-root form with the full compound profile intact.
Adrenal & Cortisol Balance
Licorice root inhibits 11β-HSD2, the enzyme that breaks down cortisol. This extends the effective life of cortisol in the body, which can support energy and stress resilience -particularly useful during periods of adrenal fatigue or prolonged stress.
Respiratory Comfort
Traditionally used as an expectorant and throat soother, licorice root helps loosen and clear mucus from the airways. The demulcent properties coat irritated throat tissue, supporting comfort during seasonal challenges.
Supports Healthy Inflammatory Response
Glycyrrhizin modulates NF-κB signaling, one of the primary pathways in the body's inflammatory response. This may help support comfort in both the GI tract and other tissues.
Immune Defense
Licorice root has demonstrated antiviral and immunomodulatory activity in cell studies, supporting the body's natural defenses particularly in mucous membranes of the gut and respiratory tract.
Antioxidant Activity
Flavonoids including glabridin and liquiritin contribute meaningful antioxidant support, helping protect cells from oxidative stress and supporting long-term cellular wellness throughout the GI tract.
Mucosal Protective Activity
Whole-Root vs. DGL: Knowing the Difference
DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) removes glycyrrhizin to eliminate blood pressure concerns, but also removes the adrenal and anti-inflammatory compounds. Our whole-root extract preserves the full profile -delivering broader benefits for those who tolerate it well and use it at appropriate doses.

Your Journey
What to Expect Over 3 Months
Foundation
Month 1
In the first two to three weeks, most people notice a calmer, less reactive stomach -especially after large or spicy meals. Throat and respiratory comfort often improves noticeably, particularly for those dealing with seasonal irritation.
These early changes reflect licorice's fast-acting demulcent and mucus-stimulating properties taking effect in the GI and respiratory tracts.
