In large amounts, licorice containing glycyrrhizin can cause high blood pressure, salt and water retention, and low potassium levels, which could lead to heart problems. DGL products are thought to cause fewer side effects. Licorice can be found with glycyrrhizin removed; the product is called DGL (for “deglycyrrhizinated licorice”).

Well the debate still goes on, you will find two opposing side's. My opinion is if you remove the glycyrrhizin you should still have the same constituents:
Constituents
• Triterpene saponins (3-15%): chief components glycyrrhetic acid, 18-
alpha-glycrrhetic acid, glycyrrhetic acid methyl ester, glabric acid, glabrolide,
uralenic acid
• Flavonoids: aglycones including liquiritigenin, isoliquiritigenin (its chalcone),
isolicoflavonol, isoliquiritin, licoricidin
• Isoflavonoids: aglycones formononetin, glabren, glabridin, glabrol, 3-
hydroxygIabrol, glycyrrhisoflavone
• Cumestan derivatives: glycyrol, isoglycyrol, liquocoumarin
• Hydroxycoumarins: including herniarin, umbelliferone, glycycoumarin, licopyranocoumarin
• Steroids: sterols, including beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol
• Volatile oil (very little): with anethole, estragole, eugenol, hexanoic acid
I'd rather have fewer side effects myself, so imo I'd choose DGL. I've done the homework on LR. Though someone can knock themselves out and do there own research if they prefer. (Good Luck cause it will leave you aggravated).
