The root of the licorice plant contains a naturally occurring substance known as glycyrrhizin. When consumed, glycyrrhizin is converted by the body into glycyrrhetinic acid. Prolonged intake of glycyrrhizin and/or glycyrrhetinic acid has been shown to induce a pseudoaldosterone effect in the body, resulting in increased blood pressure and water retention.*13 Nature’s Life deglycyrrhizinated licorice does not cause these potentially harmful side effects.*
