Glycyrrhiza glabra
Traditional herb for respiratory health and immune support
What is Licorice Root Extract?
Licorice root has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. It's particularly valued for its benefits to respiratory health. Licorice not only may help provide alleviation from upper respiratory infections caused by bacteria, but it can help expel mucus from the lungs and help relax bronchial spasms. ApiHealth uses a concentrated 2% extract combined with Manuka honey for enhanced respiratory and immune support.
