Manufacturing Process & Quality Control
Advanced Extraction & Purification for Pharmaceutical-Grade Quality
Our manufacturing process is designed to concentrate Glycyrrhizinic Acid while rigorously removing impurities, adhering to cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines.
* Raw Material Preparation: Licorice roots are washed, dried, and comminuted to a uniform size.
* Solvent Extraction: The root material undergoes a targeted extraction process using water and/or ethanol to isolate the bioactive compounds.
* Concentration & Precipitation: The extract is concentrated under vacuum, and glycyrrhizin is precipitated to achieve a crude form.
* Purification & Crystallization: Advanced purification techniques, including re-crystallization, are employed to remove pigments, resins, and other impurities, yielding a high-purity, crystalline powder.
* Drying & Milling: The purified crystals are dried under controlled conditions and milled to a consistent, free-flowing powder.
* Quality Control & Release: The final product undergoes rigorous in-process and final testing against a comprehensive set of specifications before release.
Product Features & Key Advantages
* Exceptional Purity: Guaranteed ≥ 95% Glycyrrhizinic Acid content, ensuring potent and consistent biological activity.
* High-Intensity Natural Sweetener: Offers a sweetness profile 50-200 times that of sucrose, with a slower onset and longer-lasting effect, ideal for sugar-reduction applications.
* Superior Solubility: Our powder exhibits excellent solubility in water, facilitating easy incorporation into liquid formulations, syrups, and beverages.
* Dual-Functionality: Functions as both a potent bioactive ingredient and a natural flavor modulator/sweetener.
* cGMP & ISO-Certified Production: Manufactured in facilities that comply with international quality and safety standards.
Scientifically Supported Health Benefits
The efficacy of Glycyrrhizin is supported by a substantial body of pharmacological research.
* Soothes Respiratory Discomfort & Supports Immunity: Glycyrrhizin is renowned for its demulcent and expectorant properties, helping to soothe irritated mucous membranes in the throat and airways. It also exhibits immunomodulatory and broad-spectrum antiviral activity.
* Powerful Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant Action: It mimics the action of cortisol by inhibiting 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, contributing to its significant anti-inflammatory effects. It also scavenges free radicals, reducing oxidative stress.
* Supports Gastrointestinal Health: Glycyrrhizin and its metabolites have been shown to possess gastro-protective properties, potentially inhibiting the growth of H. pylori and soothing gastric discomfort.
* Adrenocortical Function: It has a documented history of use in supporting adrenal gland function and helping the body adapt to stress.
* Important Safety Note: Due to its mineralocorticoid-like activity, high-dose or prolonged consumption of Glycyrrhizin can lead to increased blood pressure and hypokalemia. We provide full technical guidance on safe usage levels for your specific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the recommended usage level for Glycyrrhizin?
A: Usage levels vary significantly based on the application-as a sweetener or as a bioactive. For sweetening, levels are typically very low (0.1-0.3%). For therapeutic applications, it is crucial to adhere to regional regulatory limits (e.g., EFSA recommends a maximum of 100 mg/day of glycyrrhizinic acid). Our technical team can provide specific guidance.
Q2: Can you supply Ammoniated Glycyrrhizin?
A: Yes. We can produce Glycyrrhizin in both its acid form and as Ammoniated Glycyrrhizin, which offers improved water solubility for certain applications like beverages.
Q3: Is your product compliant with global regulatory standards?
A: Our product is manufactured to meet major pharmacopoeial standards (USP, EP). We provide full documentation to support your regulatory submissions in North America, Europe, and other key markets.
Q4: How does Glycyrrhizin compare to artificial sweeteners?
A: As a naturally derived sweetener, it aligns with clean-label trends. It provides sweetness with a licorice-like aftertaste and offers additional functional health benefits, unlike most synthetic sweeteners.
