What is in Liquid Herbs Licorice Root Extract?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 ml. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).

|---|---|---|---|
| Licorice root extract | 1,060 mg | Higher than 97% of 888 products listing licorice (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 3,180 mg. |

- Its 1,060 mg of licorice is higher than 97% of the 888 licorice products that print an amount; 26 list more.
The NIH database records 3 servings 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.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
