Re: Licorice Root What kind to take

In my case (severe AFS) the capsules of licorice root powder was too strong. I took like 2 grams of root power capsules... got 'wired' and could not sleep. Took 500mg and also a bit strong.

Best method: Get regular (non-deglycerized) Licorice Tea in a teabag, add it to 175 ml of boiling water

After it cools, add it to a small water bottle and sip it slowly throughout the day as needed. Just a large sip will give me a boost for a couple hours. It is delicious and naturally much sweeter than sugar. And sipping the tea is not to harsh on the system... has never caused me a crash or problem.

Stash Licorice Tea is very effective and has spices that make it delicious - http://www.amazon.com/Stash-Premium-Licorice-Tea-20-Count/dp/B000CQIDHE

Other brands I tried work OK also.

Don't drink licorice every day or you might get 'addicted'. Best practice, take it as needed... or 5 days a week drink licorice, 2 days take a break from licorice.

p.s. If libido is your main concern, consider pregnenolone, DHEA & NADH. Taking 6000 i.u. of Vitamin D3 caused my morning erection to come back.
