About Nature’s Sunshine Licorice Root Extract
For thousands of years, licorice root has earned its reputation as “sweet root” and stands as one of the most treasured herbs in traditional wellness practices worldwide. Nature’s Sunshine Licorice Root Extract harnesses the concentrated power of Glycyrrhiza glabra to provide you with a potent liquid supplement that honors this ancient botanical’s remarkable legacy.
Known far beyond its familiar candy flavoring, licorice root contains a wealth of naturally occurring compounds that have made it a cornerstone of traditional herbalism across cultures. From ancient Egyptian pharaohs who enjoyed licorice as a sweet drink to Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners who include it in countless formulations, this remarkable root has consistently demonstrated its value for supporting wellness and balance.
The Power of Concentrated Liquid Extract
Nature’s Sunshine Licorice Root Extract delivers an impressive 1060 mg of concentrated licorice root extract in each 1/4 teaspoon serving. This liquid format offers several advantages over traditional capsules or tablets, including faster absorption and the ability to adjust serving sizes according to your individual needs.
The primary active compound in licorice root is glycyrrhizin, a natural triterpenoid saponin that gives the root its characteristic sweet taste. This compound, along with flavonoids and other beneficial constituents, contributes to licorice’s traditional reputation for supporting glandular function and promoting overall wellness balance.
Traditional Uses and Modern Applications
Traditional herbalists have long valued licorice root as a general tonic and for supporting various body systems. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, licorice is often called “the great harmonizer” because it’s frequently included in herbal combinations to balance other herbs and enhance their effectiveness. This harmonizing quality has made it particularly valued for supporting the body’s natural balance, especially during times of stress or seasonal changes.
The root has historically been used to support respiratory comfort, promote digestive wellness, and help maintain healthy glandular function. Many traditional practices also recognize licorice’s role in supporting liver health and overall vitality, making it a valued addition to comprehensive wellness routines.
Quality and Purity You Can Trust
Nature’s Sunshine maintains rigorous quality standards throughout the production process to ensure you receive a pure, potent product. Each batch of Licorice Root Extract is carefully processed to preserve the natural integrity of the beneficial compounds while providing consistent potency and effectiveness.
The liquid extraction process used to create this supplement helps concentrate the active constituents while maintaining their natural synergy. This whole-root approach ensures you receive the full spectrum of beneficial compounds as nature intended, rather than isolated components that may not provide the same comprehensive support.
Recommended Usage
Take 20-25 drops (1 ml or 1/4 teaspoon) with water three times daily. One ml is equivalent to 2 capsules of licorice root. Shake well before use.
