Lotus, are you still taking Licorice Root? I read that it should not be taken longer than 4-6 weeks. Do you think it would be good to cycle it (e.g. for biological girls in follicular phase)?

What do you think about this product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QLTN4M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Not sure about the dosage.

Hi Peggy,

I've read that Licorice shouldn't be taken more then 7 days in a row, can you please post your info on the time frame?

Sammie and I have had this discussion about LR not containing DGL-or (deglycyrrhizinated licorice) before and which one is more beneficial for NBE. From what I've read DGL licorice root has less side effects. So for the amazon product which one is better than the next is a good question, I'd try the extract the next time I'd order tbh. I still use regular LR and at first it was really strong (still have 1/2 left). As with most of NBE products IMO, there's a breaking in period from supplements and I've adjusted to it. I would suggest that the same would apply here is that you let your body adjust at small doses until you feel comfortable with your response as then to adjust your dose.

But did you know what else LR also contains, check out these listed ingredients,

Some of the chemical constituents in Licorice include the saponin glycyrrhizic acid (the chief active ingredient that is fifty times sweeter than sugar cane with cortisone-like effects), plant sterols, other sugars (glucose, mannose, sucrose), starch, resin, a trace of tannin, essential oil, amino acids, flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumarins, lignin, mannitol, phenol, quercetin, salicylic acid, thymol, calcium, choline, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium selenium, silicon, zinc, beta-carotene, B-vitamins and vitamin C.


I've remember seeing that about LR being used during follicular and even used with peony, but sorry, I never followed up on it as of yet, so I couldn't be much help to ya on that part.

Thanks Lotus! I read that too about Licorice and White Peony. It sounds very interesting. I found the info about the combo here: http://natural-fertility-info.com/herbs-...cycle.html

The info on the time frame is what I read here:

Where did you read that it shouldn't be taken more then 7 days in a row?

What did you notice when you started LR? Since you wrote it was really strong?

If this is true, I must be in trouble already...LOL I have been using it for at least 3 weeks in pure form not mentioning my little Chinese ball bearing things that combined it with Peony in these tiny little pills that gave no amounts.

Still I seem to be feeling no ill affects... at least so far...tee hee.

Hi Peggy,

It's towards the bottom, but I had a migraine for days when I first started it, the rise in glucose I'm sure. After the 7 days is just a precaution I'm sure.

Sammie, as much as you take the balance should be a huge a benefit against 5-ar!

There's definitely a learning curve, 1st bottle lasted almost 3 weeks. I take 4 drops to 1/2 cup of white grapefruit juice. And honestly it neutralizes the sour taste of the GFJ and the awful taste of the extract. And the GFJ activates the cytochrome P450 34A enzyme that makes it more effective, i.e. Like taking PABA, but GFJ makes the breakdown of PM slower in the liver.
