The 10%/98% difference reflects Glycyrrhizic Acid content measured via HPLC. 98% is the Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate (MAG) form, positioned for premium cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
Glycyrrhizic Acid is the natural form. Ammonium Glycyrrhizinate (MAG) is the monoammonium salt form, which has improved water solubility and is preferred for cosmetic and certain pharmaceutical applications.
Licorice Root Extract is commonly used in TCM as a "harmonizer" to enhance the effects of other herbs. It is commonly combined with Peony, Ginger, and Bupleurum in traditional formulations.
