I'm new to Licorice Root. How are these used? Do they need prepping before chewing? Washing? Trying to quit tobacco and looking for safe alternative!

I was disappointed in the product, was expecting a different kind of licorice root. I would not reorder this product.

You can chew them straight out of the package. The idea is that you sort of half chew it, half suck on it. As it gets damp and you chew it, the root starts releasing the licorice flavor. But the taste is pretty mild, so sometimes I also like to soak a few in a mixture of bourbon and vanilla extract for a few days, then let them dry back out again. That gives them a much richer taste.

I should update that there are serious health risk to over consumption of licorice root. This includes liver damage. I forgot to change this rating. Use miswak (sewak) sticks instead. Takes some getting use to but they are way better for you.

No...you can do almost anything except eat hard foods and drink hot liquids. If your a smoker...do not smoke with them in because you can cause discoloration. Other then that...they are great!!! I love them!

I don't know much about DGL other than it is supposed to be good for indigestion and heartburn. I guess it just depends on what you want the licorice root for. I read that licorice root stimulates the adrenalin glands and good for head fog. I take one or 2 capsules a day of Natures Way and I don't get head fog anymore

Packets. Not sure why, they just work better. Tried a different brand that had that streptocau....(I can't spell it) strain, that makes it sound like it's going to give you strep throat, it works great too, but this is the cheapest form with that strain in it I have found. Worked fast for me too and is still working. I'm on month 2, I eat them like candy.

They're sublingual tablets. You just put the tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve into your bloodstream that way. They actually taste pretty good. When it gets down to a small piece I usually just chew that little bit but under the tongue is a very effective way to administer this vitamin. I really like them!

Yes they are. I find them to work quicker and I use less by unscrewing the capsule. and do em like a goodie powder. I usually only do half. Be advised they taste like an aspirin without a lemon flavor. In cast the manufacturer reads these comments? I would recommend the manufacturer make em in fruit flavors. Their sales would reach astronomical millions of dollars! I hope that answers you question more thoroughly? ~Andrew

That's an interesting question. I have noticed a little hardening after a couple of weeks but my cat still eats them right up (I hide them in her kibble and she can't tell the difference). My first thought would be to try those terra cotta brown sugar savers. You moisten them and them towel dry them and put them in bags of hardened sugar and they magically restore moisture levels. That may work with those chews? But I agree that the safest would be to contact the manufacturer and ask them. Good luck and please keep us updated if anything works!

I have never had this experience with the capsules. If the seal was broken when you got them then throw it out. If not, how are you tasting them when they should be swallowed (don't hold them on your tongue) not chewed. You should be taking them with meals, maybe the food aftertaste made them taste strange? I never have tasted anything strange and I have been taking them for a year. Sometimes when you are not feeling well things will taste strange. In any case throw out when you are not sure and try again.

Hi Debbie..These are sublingual tablets that you hold under your tongue, and let them melt in your mouth. They're about the size of an M&M, and are cherry flavored. They are better than other b-12 meds, which the body has to turn into methylcobalamin. And if you swallow one accidently, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done it a couple of time. I'd reciommend this one to you without hesitation

Very few edible items will remove decent quantities of tartar - only regular tooth brushing after a surgical dental cleaning will really do that. That said these chews help freshen breathe some and slow the build up of tartar. Sometimes if there is a large enough build up of tartar it can be broken off by chewing.

You could chew them if you had to. They are in the form of a solid pill, but it would be possible to chew them up. Probably wouldn't taste great.

I think they work more quickly if you let them dissolve under your tongue (they're strawberry flavored), but I'm sure you can take them with water if you prefer.

So that I could get a correct answer for you, I had my husband suck on one lozenge and it took 10 mins to dissolve. He did not chew on it during this time. I hope this is helpful to you. I would have done it myself, but I bought these for my husband.

Hi there, We do have a mint called ZOX mints that are a mild licorice clove flavor. If you would like to try those let me know at info@drkatz.com and I can send a sample. If you prefer those we can do an exchange.

I disagree. Since taking them, I've become completely regular and stress free with bowel movements. When I stop taking them, I'm less regular and have more trouble "with the go". I started taking them when I had a yeast infection and my doctor highly recommended one pill. Best advice I could have gotten.. I havent had a yeast infection in years. But at least with me, they help with "the go" process for sure. Its possible it may not assist in this area with everyone, but different things affect different people in different ways. There is NO wrong answer here :) And it sure beats "yogurt" going bad in the fridge! I disagree. Since taking them, I've become completely regular and stress free with bowel movements.
