About this extract

Licorice

What Is Licorice Powdered Extract?

Licorice Powdered Extract concentrates the sweet root of Glycyrrhiza glabra into a free-flowing powder with no added carrier, capturing the deep, characteristic flavor that has made licorice a staple of herbal and confectionery traditions from the Mediterranean to Western Asia. Bio-Botanica supplies it full-spectrum and non-standardized, ready for dry-format supplement and flavor work. With no carrier diluting it, the powder delivers full botanical loading per gram.

Market Demand

Licorice root spans both the functional-supplement and natural-flavor markets, and demand holds firm as brands seek recognizable botanicals that carry taste and tradition together. Its intense natural sweetness lets it pull double duty, trimming the need for added sweeteners in a formula. With capsule, tablet, and gummy formats expanding, a pure powdered licorice extract positions a formulator to serve steady interest in heritage roots across both wellness and flavor applications.

Formulation Applications

As an unbuffered powder it compresses into tablets, fills capsules, and disperses into gummies, lozenges, stick-packs, and dry beverage mixes, doubling as a natural sweet note. Licorice root is traditionally associated with digestive, women's-health, and alongside its flavor role, presented as structure/function positioning, not a consumer health claim.

Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica

Bio-Botanica, family-owned since 1972, extracts this root at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York through the low-heat Bio-Chelated process that safeguards a Holistically Balanced range of naturally occurring constituents. Each lot is verified for identity, microbial, USP, and heavy-metal specifications in an onsite lab equipped with HPLC and ICP/MS, with Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification available.

Is Licorice Powdered Extract standardized to a specific compound?
