What is known about the licorice extract in OstroVit capsules? — Licorice, 90 Vegetarian Capsules - OstroVit

The manufacturer gives no comparison with herbal tea or a tincture of licorice root. According to the card, OstroVit Licorice VEGE is a food supplement based on licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root extract standardised to 20% glycyrrhizic acid: 400 mg of extract per capsule (that is about 80 mg of glycyrrhizic acid – a calculation based on the stated standardisation), 90 capsules per pack (up to 3 months of use), suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The formula is intended for those who want to supplement their daily diet with plant-based ingredients.

This is a food supplement, not a medicine; it does not replace a varied diet. General information (not a manufacturer's claim): standardisation means that the content of the stated substance in a capsule is predetermined, whereas in homemade tea or tincture it depends on the raw material and the method of preparation. If you take medication or have chronic conditions, consult a doctor before use.
