Licorice Root 60 ml by BioMatrix – Cortisol Support Licorice Extract
Licorice Root liquid extract by BioMatrix is a glycerin-based botanical supplement for clinician-guided cortisol support. This 60 ml formula identifies both the amount of root extract and its glycyrrhizin content per drop, making its composition more informative than an extract weight alone.
Cortisol is a hormone your body produces as part of its normal response to everyday demands. It also helps regulate how the body uses energy. Licorice acts on cortisol handling rather than supplying cortisol itself, so choosing it calls for a different conversation than choosing a basic vitamin or mineral.
Key Licorice Root 60 ml Benefits
- Provides botanical support for cortisol availability by influencing how the body converts active cortisol into its less active counterpart, cortisone.
- Offers a focused approach to stress-hormone support without combining multiple active botanicals, helping a practitioner assess whether licorice fits your needs.
- Connects cortisol support with normal energy regulation, an important physiological role of your own naturally produced cortisol.
How Licorice Root 60 ml Works
Glycyrrhizin is a naturally occurring constituent of Glycyrrhiza glabra. Its metabolites inhibit an enzyme involved in converting cortisol to cortisone. Slowing that conversion changes cortisol's activity in tissues; it does not mean the adrenal glands are being supplied with a hormone or a nutrient they lack.
This same mechanism can affect sodium retention, potassium balance, and blood pressure. More cortisol activity is not automatically better. BioMatrix's glycerin-based drops therefore belong in a carefully selected plan, not an unrestricted routine for anyone who feels tired. The formula is different from deglycyrrhizinated licorice, commonly called DGL, because it retains glycyrrhizin.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Licorice Root Extract: Supplies glycyrrhizin, whose metabolites slow cortisol's conversion to cortisone. This explains its role in cortisol availability and stress-hormone physiology. Because the same action influences fluid and electrolyte balance, licorice requires attention to blood pressure, potassium, and medication use rather than an assumption that botanical means risk-free.
Licorice Root 60 ml Is Formulated For
- Adults considering a practitioner-guided approach to stress-hormone support with a single active botanical.
- People who prefer a liquid licorice supplement and want the extract and glycyrrhizin amounts identified separately.
- Those whose healthcare practitioner has reviewed whether glycyrrhizin-containing licorice is appropriate for their health history and current medications.

Does Not Contain: Formulated to be free of allergens derived from: gluten, corn, yeast, artificial colors and flavors.
Additional precautions: Glycyrrhizin-containing licorice can cause sodium retention, low potassium, swelling, increased blood pressure, and serious heart rhythm problems, including cardiac arrest. Risks increase with large amounts or prolonged use; people with high salt intake or heart or kidney conditions can be particularly vulnerable, even at small amounts. Check all medicines with your healthcare practitioner, especially corticosteroids. Large amounts during pregnancy can increase premature delivery risk; breastfeeding safety is not established. Keep out of reach of children.
Frequently Asked Questions About Licorice Root 60 ml
What are the benefits of Licorice Root 60 ml?
BioMatrix Licorice Root provides glycyrrhizin-containing botanical support for cortisol availability. Cortisol contributes to the body's normal stress response and energy regulation. The extract influences the conversion of cortisol into cortisone rather than adding cortisol to the body. Each drop contains 10.5 mg of root extract yielding 0.84 mg of glycyrrhizin. This specific composition helps distinguish it from DGL products and from licorice extracts that identify only total extract weight.
Who should take Licorice Root 60 ml?
This liquid is an option for adults whose healthcare practitioner has identified a reason to consider glycyrrhizin-containing licorice. It is not a general-purpose answer to tiredness, and it is not interchangeable with DGL. BioMatrix says not to take it if you have hypertension and to consult a health professional if nursing or pregnant. Heart or kidney conditions, high salt intake, and current medicines also matter when deciding whether this cortisol-focused botanical is appropriate.
Are there any side effects of taking Licorice Root 60 ml?
For specific recommendations, or if you are nursing or pregnant, please consult a health professional. Do not take if you have hypertension. Glycyrrhizin can cause sodium retention, low potassium, swelling, increased blood pressure, and serious heart rhythm problems, including cardiac arrest. Large amounts and prolonged use raise concern, but small amounts can also harm susceptible people, including those with high salt intake or heart or kidney conditions. Medication interactions, especially with corticosteroids, require review. Large amounts during pregnancy can increase premature delivery risk; breastfeeding safety is not established. Keep out of reach of children.
How does Licorice Root 60 ml support overall health?
Its specific role concerns cortisol handling, not broad nutritional replacement. Glycyrrhizin metabolites slow an enzyme that converts active cortisol to cortisone, influencing a hormone involved in normal energy regulation and the response to everyday demands. That action also affects fluid and mineral balance, so suitability matters as much as composition. A practitioner can help assess whether this glycyrrhizin-containing extract belongs in your plan; taking more is not a substitute for finding the cause of persistent tiredness.
