Glycyrrhizinic - Antiulcer, anti inflammatory, antiviral, anticariogenic, and antispasmodic
Glycyrrhizinic acid is eq. to Glycyrrhizin or glycyrrhizic acid. It is a saponin, as the chief sweet-tasting constituent of Glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice) root. After oral ingestion, glycyrrhizin is first hydrolysed to 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (also named enoxolone) by intestinal bacteria. Reported side effect of glycyrrhizin is the reduction of blood potassium levels and an increase in blood pressure if chronic consumption. Fort this reason, DGL is garanteed with low Glycyrrhizinic acid.
Studies have focused on the pharmacological effects of glycyrrhizin as antiulcer, antiinflammatory, antiviral, anticariogenic, and antispasmodic. It also has corticoid activity, influencing steroid metabolism to maintain blood pressure and volume and to regulate glucose/glycogen balance.

Glycyrrhizic acid (= glycyrrhizinic acid, = glycyrrhizin) is an active substance (saponin) in licorice. It is a heteroside, poorly soluble in water, mainly known for its sweet taste, hence its use as a sweetener. Glycyrrhizin can cause high blood pressure by inhibiting an enzyme, reason why some products are guaranteed to be low in glycyrrhizic acid.
