Protective Packaging: Considering the characteristics of licorice root extract, we package your products safely, preventing them from degradation during shipment and storage.
Selection and Process of Raw Materials: First, we check whether the licorice root meets our raw material standards. Roots that fail to comply cannot be used to produce extraction. Then we clean the roots to remove impurities like silt and fiber particles.
Before extraction, we cut the raw material into pieces to increase its contact area with the solvent, increasing the extraction efficiency of glycyrrhizic acid and other compounds.
Solvent Extraction: Common solvent technologies include hot-water extraction and water-based concentration. To extract glycyrrhizic acid and other compounds, the water-ethanol solvent is also applied.
We conduct multiple extractions and then collect the extract solution. During the extraction, we heat, stir, and control the solid-to-liquid ratio. Thus, we improve the recovery of active ingredients and maintain batch consistency.
Filtration and Separation: After extraction, we separate the solvent and licorice root residues. Processes include rough filtration, pressure filtration, or centrifugation. Then we get a clearer extraction solution. Based on your product requirements, we also conduct fine filtration to improve the solution clarity and product purity.
Concentration and Purification: We conduct vacuum concentration to remove water from the solution at a lower temperature, reducing the loss of heat-sensitive compounds in licorice root.
Drying: We use spray drying to rapidly dry the extract solution into powder. According to your requirements, we can add suitable excipients or carriers to improve the flowability, dispersibility, and moisture resistance of licorice root extract.
Screening and Testing: After drying, we mill and screen the powder to achieve the required particle size, ensuring consistency of size, flowability, and appearance. Tests are also important. We test each batch to verify key specifications such as assay, moisture, ash, and heavy metals. Only qualified products can be packed and shipped.

Studies suggest that licorice root extract may help regulate the formation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). 18-β-glycyrrhetinic acid is an active ingredient in licorice root extract. It can suppress 5α-reductase, which is important in converting testosterone into DHT. So, licorice root extract may help reduce DHT formation and support hair care.

Sunjoy’s main products of licorice root extract are DGL, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate.

Licorice root extract is generally considered safe. However, there are some possible side effects that should be considered.
Cardiovascular Effects
If people take licorice root extract for a long time or at high dosages, the glycyrrhizin in the extract may influence electrolyte balance and blood pressure, affecting the cardiovascular system. Possible reactions include high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, and palpitations.
For individuals with high blood pressure or heart disease, even a small amount of intake may result in severe reactions.
Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalance
Glycyrrhizin may affect the electrolyte balance, particularly sodium and potassium. Long-term, high-dose usage may cause adverse reactions, including fluid retention, low potassium levels, muscle weakness, and fatigue.
Drug Interactions
Studies show that glycyrrhizin may interact with some drugs and affect their effectiveness. When people take licorice root extract while using these medicines, the medicines’ function may be weakened.
Those medicines include blood pressure medications, diuretics, anticoagulants, cholesterol-lowering medications, corticosteroids, NSAIDs, and estrogen-based medications.
Precautions for Intake
Long-term use of high-dose licorice root extract (approximately 250 g per week) is not recommended for pregnant women. It may increase the risk of premature birth. There are limited data and studies on breastfeeding women, so these people should be cautious when taking licorice products.
These people are more sensitive to glycyrrhizin intake:
- People with high blood pressure
- People with heart disease
- People with kidney disease
- People with high salt intake
- People currently taking related medications.
They are not recommended to take licorice root extract, or they need to consult a doctor before using it.

How to Store Licorice Root Extract?
Sunjoy packs your products in ideal packaging that can protect them from degradation during storage and shipment. However, there are some storage tips. When your licorice root extract is properly stored, it can have a longer shelf life.
Store in Cool and Dry Places
Proper storage conditions help maintain the appearance, taste, and stability of active ingredients. Licorice root extract should be stored, keeping away from high temperatures, high moisture, and direct sunlight. So, temperature-stable, dry, well-ventilated warehouses are good choices. Also, heat and moisture should be avoided.
Keep in Sealed Packaging
Licorice root extract is in powder form. It can absorb moisture from the air. So, it is recommended to keep it sealed when you do not use it. Well-sealed environments can reduce moisture absorption, caking, oxidation, and degradation of licorice root extract. The original and other moisture-proof sealed containers are useful.
Protect from Light
If you expose your licorice root extract to light, the active ingredients in the extract powder can be affected. If you use transparent packaging, then you need to avoid long-term exposure to light. Light-proof environments are recommended.
