Licorice Root 100 Capsules by Nature's Way® – Traditional Digestive Support Herbal Supplement
Licorice Root capsules by Nature's Way® provide whole licorice root for traditional digestive support in a plant-derived capsule. Each 2-capsule serving supplies 900 mg of root, rather than a multi-herb blend or a concentrated extract. The 100-capsule bottle is intended for adults seeking a straightforward botanical supplement with one functional ingredient.
This whole-root licorice formula keeps the focus on the plant material itself. Its only other ingredient is the hypromellose capsule. The vegan herbal supplement is also gluten free and contains no gelatin, making its composition easy to compare with other digestive products when dietary preferences matter.
Key Licorice Root 100 Capsules Benefits
- Offers licorice root's traditional soothing role in digestive wellness, with a focused botanical approach rather than a combination of multiple herbs.
- Provides whole-root plant constituents together instead of presenting an isolated compound as a substitute for the complete botanical ingredient.
- Fits vegan and gluten-free dietary preferences while avoiding gelatin, dairy, soy, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives.
How Licorice Root 100 Capsules Works
Licorice is often called sweet root because of its naturally sweet constituents. Its plant material contains polysaccharides, gums, flavonoids, and glycyrrhizin. The whole root is used in traditional herbal practice for its soothing digestive role; this is a traditional-use purpose, not a promise of relief from a digestive condition.
The distinction between ordinary licorice and deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) matters. DGL is processed to remove much of the glycyrrhizin. This product is whole licorice root, not DGL. Glycyrrhizin can change how the body handles cortisol, sodium, and potassium, which explains why blood pressure, medication use, and length of use require particular attention. Do not assume the precautions for a DGL product apply to these capsules.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Licorice (root): Traditionally used for soothing digestive support, the root supplies plant polysaccharides and gums alongside its naturally occurring sweet constituents. Its glycyrrhizin can affect fluid and mineral balance, so whole-root licorice needs more careful suitability screening than its familiar herbal name might suggest.
Licorice Root 100 Capsules Is Formulated For
- Adults considering a single-ingredient digestive herb rather than a broad digestive blend.
- People seeking plant-derived capsules without gelatin or the listed dietary exclusions.
- Adults whose healthcare professional has reviewed licorice's specific cautions, medication compatibility, and appropriate duration of use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Licorice Root 100 Capsules
What are the benefits of Licorice Root 100 Capsules?
Nature's Way® Licorice Root is intended for traditional digestive support, using 900 mg of whole licorice root per 2-capsule serving. It offers a single-herb option rather than a digestive enzyme, probiotic, or multi-herb blend. The plant-derived capsule contains hypromellose, and the formula is vegan and gluten free. Its traditional soothing role should not be confused with a guaranteed digestive outcome, and choosing this herb requires attention to licorice's specific warnings.
Who should take Licorice Root 100 Capsules?
This formula is intended for adults considering whole-root licorice for traditional digestive support who have reviewed its suitability with a healthcare professional. It is not DGL and should not be selected as though the two were interchangeable. The label says not to use it during pregnancy or nursing, or with high blood pressure, kidney disease, or cardiovascular disease. Anyone taking medication must consult a healthcare professional before use. The directions are 2 capsules twice daily, preferably with food.
Are there any side effects of taking Licorice Root 100 Capsules?
Licorice can cause increased blood pressure, low potassium, fluid retention, and serious irregular heart rhythms, particularly with prolonged use or larger amounts. Corticosteroid interactions are reported. Do not use if you are pregnant, nursing, have high blood pressure, kidney disease or cardiovascular disease. If you are taking any medications, consult a healthcare professional before use. Keep out of reach of children. Safety sealed with inner seal. Do not use if seal is broken or missing.
How does Licorice Root 100 Capsules support overall health?
Its role is specific: traditional botanical support for digestive wellness, not a source of comprehensive nutrition or an all-purpose health tonic. Whole licorice root contains naturally occurring plant constituents, including glycyrrhizin, rather than the processed ingredient used in DGL products. That difference is important because glycyrrhizin can influence the body's fluid and mineral balance. Appropriate use therefore depends on matching this particular herb to an adult's health circumstances, medicines, and professional guidance rather than assuming more is better.
