💊 Medicine: glycyrrhizin from licorice root with glycine and DL-methionine.

🔬 In Japan approved for eczema and dermatitis, papular urticaria in children, alopecia areata, stomatitis and abnormal liver tests in chronic liver disease; made since 1954, current formula since 1991

🧬 Evidence: Japanese double-blind trial in chronic hepatitis — 9 tablets a day for 12 weeks improved liver tests in 22.3% vs 11.8% on placebo (PMDA label); a meta-analysis of 23 randomized trials (2219 patients with alopecia areata) — compound glycyrrhizin added to standard treatment made a cure 1.6 times more likely (Li, Ann Med 2025)

⚠️ Medicine: taken under a doctor's supervision; it can cause swelling, raise blood pressure and lower potassium — not together with other licorice products; with hypertension, low potassium, swelling, kidney disease, loop or thiazide diuretics, in older age and in pregnancy — a doctor first.
