Licorice
Glycyrrhiza glabra
Its liquiritin fraction raises serotonin and noradrenaline and strongly inhibits human monoamine oxidase in the laboratory.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
In human stomach abnormal cells, licorice's sweet compound cut actively dividing cells from 52% to 32% and raised early programmed death from 3.4% to 12.8%.
In mice, liquorice root's sweet principle controlled that mortality completely, turning tolerant immune cells back into bacteria-killers.
Glycyrrhizin soothes the stomach's lining and thickens its protective mucus, calming the burning and churn that follow a rich or acidic meal.
