Its main bioactive metabolite is glycyrrhizin, a compound that is extremely sweet. The name has the literal meaning 'sweet root' and as such is used to sweeten products including candy and breath fresheners, as well as herbal teas, cough mixtures and soft drinks. It is 50 times sweeter than sucrose - cane sugar. Research has shown that this plant can significantly reduce testosterone levels in both men and women when taken for prolonged periods or in large doses, by inhibiting the enzymes needed to stimulate steroid hormone production. In men, it may also reduce libido and sexual function too. There are a number of other side effects associated with the active compound glycyrrhizin. These include high blood pressure, headaches, fatigue and muscle pain.
