Product Description
This licorice root grade is glycyrrhizic acid at about 98%, from Glycyrrhiza. It is the sweet saponin, not the skin-whitening flavonoid glabridin.
It sweetens and is used in confectionery, beverages and some medicinal-style extracts. It also raises blood pressure concerns at high intake, so a food use and a high-dose capsule are different briefs.
When buying, say 98% glycyrrhizic acid by HPLC, and keep the PO away from the glabridin code.

Applications
Beverages
Very sweet and slightly lingering. Trial the aftertaste.
Not the Whitening Grade
Skin-lightening briefs want glabridin (the other licorice code), not this saponin.
High-Dose Capsules Need a Limit
Glycyrrhizic acid is sweet, and high intakes are restricted because of potassium and blood pressure.
Root Extract, Not a Sweetener Blend
98% is an isolate. A licorice tea cut will not meet it.
FAQ
Is glycyrrhizic acid the same ingredient as glabridin?
No. Glycyrrhizic acid is the sweet saponin. Glabridin is a flavonoid.
What assay should we expect?
About 98%.
Are there intake limits we should know about?
High intakes are associated with effects on potassium and blood pressure. Keep the dose inside the market rule.
What assay should we expect?
About 98% glycyrrhizic acid by HPLC.
Which licorice code is the skin grade?
Glabridin is the other licorice item. Do not send this saponin against a whitening brief.
