Licorice root extract
The licorice root plant gets its sweet flavor from the triterpenoid glycyrrhizin. Glycyrrhizin has a molecular structure that is extremely similar to certain corticosteroids. Its metabolites have been shown to block the enzyme 11B-hydroxysterokid responsible for the conversion of cortisol (active) to cortisone (inactive). The result is increased cortisol levels which can provide dramatic relief from a variety of symptoms
