How to make Licorice? (by itself) |
| Waseda recommends formulating a 20% root / total volume solution. If you use 10g of Licorice root, you would boil it in 50ml (10g / 0.2) of water which should be good for about 100 day use. |

1) Waseda said it is a good idea to add licorice extract to minoxidil.
You do not need to add extra alcohol. 2) It is ok to use extract powder for licorice, but not for mulberry and bayberry. 3) Do not use Solgar Licorice capsules. According to Waseda, the licorice is deglycyrrhized. It does not work well for hair growth. It is important to use licorice root. |

Warning on licorice and Waseda’s response |
Warning on Licorice ExtractFrom: Should we? CommentsHere is the study from the New England Journal of Medicine about Licorice The New England Journal of Medicine -- October 7, 1999 -- Vol. 341, No. 15 Reduction of Serum Testosterone in Men by Licorice ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- To the Editor: Extracts of licorice root are widely used in many countries as flavoring agents, breath fresheners, or candy. The active component of licorice is glycyrrhizic acid, which is hydrolyzed in vivo to glycyrrhetinic acid. The well-known mineralocorticoid-like effect of licorice results from the inhibition of 11(beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cortisol to cortisone, thereby minimizing the binding of cortisol to mineralocorticoid receptors. (1) Licorice may also directly activate mineralocorticoid receptors. (2) In vitro, licorice can block 17(beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. (3) We evaluated the effect of licorice on gonadal function in seven normal men, 22 to 24 years of age. The men were given 7 g daily of a commercial preparation of licorice in the form of tablets (Saila, Bologna, Italy) containing 0.5 g of glycyrrhizic acid, as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; the effect on the metabolism of mineralocorticoids in these men was reported previously. (2) Serum testosterone, androstenedione, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone were measured by radioimmunoassay before and after four and seven days of administration of licorice and four days after it was discontinued. During the period of licorice administration, the men's serum testosterone concentrations decreased and their serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations increased (Table 1). These results demonstrate that licorice inhibits both 17(beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 17,20-lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of 17-hydroxyprogesterone to androstenedione. The amounts of licorice given to these men are eaten by many people. Thus, men with decreased libido or other sexual dysfunction, as well as those with hypertension, should be questioned about licorice ingestion Re: Warning on Licorice ExtractFrom: waseda CommentsThis is one reason why almost (Japanese) hair loss products include licorice extract or glycyrrhetinic acid topically in them. From long use of Chinese traditinal herbal medicines, it is well known that oral intake of licorice root is safe if it is within 1g per day. This means oral safe licorice for 100 days is 100g. Souhakuhi-extract, Moreharin use licorice extract (topically) 10g-30g per 100days use. This equals 1/10-1/3 of orally safe intake of licorice amount. It's safe enough but may be insufficient for MPB with excessive testosterone. But I prefer to safety. On the similar basis, 1 oz licorice root extract per 100 days use is safe enough. But, I must say licorice should be taken topically but not orally as well as Grape Seed Extract for hair loss men The licorice in this study was taken orally Re: Warning on Licorice ExtractFrom: Thanks |
