Licorice is more than a sweet — it has a long airway tradition. Here is what licorice root does for respiratory health.
Glycyrrhizin
The active saponin, structurally similar to cortisol, with steroid-like anti-inflammatory behaviour — but without wiping out your immune defence.
Balanced immunity
It helps dial down the IL-4/IL-5 overreaction behind allergy-type airway inflammation, while leaving real defence intact. Licorice saponins also help thin airway mucus.
In the formula
Tiger Milk King uses licorice for the airway-immunity pillar, alongside Tiger Milk Mushroom (capacity) and prebiotic inulin (clearance).
