The two major constituents of licorice are glycyrrhizin and flavonoids. According to test tube studies, glycyrrhizin has anti-inflammatory actions and may inhibit the breakdown of the cortisol produced by the body. Licorice flavonoids, as well as the closely related chalcones, may help to maintain a healthy digestive tract. They are also potent antioxidants and work to maintain the cells which are found in the liver.
