- Its 600 mg of organic licorice powder (filed by NIH under licorice) (2 rows of the label added together) is higher than 90% of the 888 licorice products that print an amount; 81 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
