Licorice and blood pressure: the compound on the Payarmin label
Licorice and blood pressure are connected through glycyrrhizin, the compound in licorice root, which can cause serious effects such as irregular heartbeat, especially in large or long-term use. Payarmin lists monoammonium glycyrrhizinate 18th of 22 in a 200 mg blend, so at most 11.1 mg per 1 mL serving.

Can licorice raise blood pressure?
It can. Glycyrrhizin can cause serious effects such as irregular heartbeat and, in the worst cases, cardiac arrest, mostly with large or long-term use (NCCIH, Licorice Root).
Even small amounts may be a risk for people with high blood pressure, heart or kidney conditions, or a high-salt diet. Large amounts in pregnancy are unsafe, and interactions with corticosteroids have been reported.
if you feel a racing or irregular heartbeat, chest pain or fainting while using any supplement.
What is monoammonium glycyrrhizinate on the Payarmin label?
It is a salt of glycyrrhizin, the licorice compound, listed 18th of 22 in the 200 mg blend. Our listing calls it a sweetener and flavor.
Line 18 cannot weigh more than 200 / 18, or 11.1 mg per mL (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR)). The label prints no amount and no studied dose exists in our sources.
| Reading | Amount |
|---|---|
| Even split | 9.09 mg per mL |
| Ceiling, 1 dropper (1 mL) | 11.1 mg |
| Ceiling, 2 droppers | 22.2 mg |
Who should check before using a licorice-derived ingredient?
Anyone with high blood pressure, a heart or kidney condition, or a corticosteroid prescription, and anyone who already eats licorice often (NCCIH, Licorice Root).
Doses add up. A candy habit, a licorice tea and these drops can all contribute glycyrrhizin, and the label cannot tell you the sum.
A supplement does not replace it. Never change a dose on your own, including blood pressure pills.

See packsIs the label amount a reason to worry?
It is a reason to ask, not a verdict: the ceiling is small, yet the sources call for caution even at small amounts for some readers.

FAQ01
Licorice compound: quick answers
Is glycyrrhizinate the same as licorice candy?
It comes from the same root compound, glycyrrhizin, but candy varies and is not measured here. The label lists the salt only, with no amount (NCCIH, Licorice Root).
Does licorice interact with steroids?
Corticosteroid interactions have been reported (NCCIH, Licorice Root). If you take a steroid, ask a pharmacist about the glycyrrhizinate line before using the drops.
Is the licorice line safe in pregnancy?
In pregnancy, large amounts of licorice are unsafe (NCCIH, Licorice Root). The Payarmin label already tells pregnant or nursing mothers to consult a physician before using it.
