Do your research on these horrific side effects. It's INCREDIBLY unsafe to take this. I highly regret ordering! I can't take it because of the side effects, and there are NO RETURNS.

I copied & pasted them here because I doubt this can be beneficial to anyone, as the risks outweigh any benefits by far. There are other things to take that have the same effects and aren't horrible for you. I wish I knew more before throwing my money away here.

"Use no more than 4-6 weeks.

Common side effects of licorice include:

Absence of a menstrual period

Congestive heart failure

Decreased sexual interest (libido)

Erectile dysfunction

Excess fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema)

Fluid and sodium retention

Headache

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Hypertensive encephalopathy

This video is an extract and extremely powerful. A caution should be on the bottle. Sorry I’m not good at taking videos

Hypokalemic myopathy

Lethargy

Low potassium levels (hypokalemia)

Mineralocorticoid effects

Muscle wasting

Myoglobinuria

Occasionally brain damage in otherwise healthy people

Paralysis (quadriplegia)

Basically... order this if you want to feel like total crap, get brain damage, and possibly die in under 4 to 6 weeks.
