Does it have licorice root in it or is it flavored with Anise? I want it for a diabetic and diabetics aren't supposed to have licorice root.

I bought it as a gift for my mom whose diabetic, i would assume she knows all the rules with diabetes and she ate these? not a perfect answer, but i know this didn't affect her blood sugar...

To me, it has a burnt wood taste. And of course it's sweet. Does not taste or have an aftertaste like licorice root. Maybe I have a dud.

It said "GUARANTEED NO ADDED" sugar, starch, sodium, yeast, soy, corn, wheat, dairy, egg. fragrance, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. But this is 500mg from the leaves, no from the root.

I don't know. I did not use it very long because I do not like the smell of it. Smells like licorice.

Not at all. It doesn't have a recognizable flavor, in my opinion. It has a natural sweetener that is the only taste I notice and is not like a regular sugar sweetened flavor at all. I've been able to use it immediately after brushing my teeth without any bad taste left in my mouth.

It has a mild licorice flavor with undertones of other herbs that make it slightly bitter. It really does work.I saw my milk production increase significantly after only one day of use. I recommend this tea. It's nice when sweetened with raw honey.

I was wondering the same thing... I always make an effort to take in as littl sugar as possible and this product is very sweet tasting. I loved it but i didnt buy it again because it is a mystery as to how much sugar i am consuming.... i even looked online and at the website; found ZERO info.

I usually mix it with thyme, that masks the flavor a bit. I use it medicinally so taste isn't an issue for me. I think making it a bit weaker and mixing it with another herbal tea might solve the problem. I, too, do not particularly like the flavor by itself.

I could taste the licorice root, just slightly. It is not a sweet drink at all. Rather, its very hearty. Hope that helps.

There is no information on the bottle or have I read anywhere about this brand being stabilized. I have severe nerve pain and I have diabetes 2. I tested it by comparing and not taking it. Nerve pain was worse, and blood sugar went up. While on it, 2 tabs 3 times daily, nerve damage is not as bad and blood sugar stays lower. Since it does not say it anywhere being stabilized I would write the company. So I would say "No". No record of it found to be stabilized. Thanks for asking, now I will be doing some more research on why stabilization is more important than not. I will write the company and ask. However, because the price is low, that also sends to me a red flag that it is not stabilized. Good luck. Please note if you find a brand that is stabilized and at a lower price. Thanks in advance.

It does not say on the label. The licorice is just part of what they are calling proprietary blend.

You need to look on the ingredients list. If it has words that end in 'ose' or if it has xylitol then it has hidden sugars in it.

7 carbs in 1 oz, it is highly concentrated and very tart. Usually it is diluted and sugar is added for use as a sauce, but you could use stevia or whatever sweetener they prefer. My daughter is diabetic and we LOVE it!!!

Sorry! I haven't the slightest idea. It is my daughter's favorite chewy thing so I send them to her now and then as a surprise. They recently added a new flavor. I like black licorice!

No, it does not taste like black licorice. It's a mild flavor. I don't find it strong or bitter and I enjoy it's ability to make me go back to sleep. I hope it works for you as well!

No, it does not taste like licorice. Have to add fruit to make it taste good. It is good and I like that it is not sweet.

Definitely not flavored. It also doesn't mix well in water for me. I heard someone else say they put it in a spoonful of yogurt to eat it instead, but I haven't tried it yet.
