Thanks for the explanation.
I still can't fathom those research abstracts.
Just knew it increased cortisol and seemed to increase oestrogen in me..or alter something there, so I thought I should comment on that.
I've spent an age trying to decipher the articles on it.Gee I hope it wasn't inhibited cholesterol a lot as mine was 6.0 on licorice, sigh.
Thyroid hormones seem to have dropped it from 7.0 to 5.7 last test.
Still looking for something to aid in the breakdown of cholesterol(or even some research!)besides thyroid hormones....as opposed to a synthesis inhibitor. I need more of everything cholesterol is supposed to break down into<g>. I make cholesterol just fine though <g>. Funny how most people have no problems there.Also the deglycyrrhizinated form (DGL), some say it supports the adrenals. These are a few people who also take cortisol for low adrenal function at least on occassion. I can't find anything on this? Just wondered if you'd come across anything.
