Whitening and skin care: GLABRIDIN can penetrate deep into the skin, inhibit multiple enzymes (such as tyrosinase) in the process of melanin production, prevent the interconversion of dopa pigments and the activity of DHICA oxidase, thereby reducing melanin formation and achieving the effects of whitening and removing spots. It is hailed as the "gold of whitening".
Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial: It has the effect of inhibiting inflammatory responses, reducing the release of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α). At the same time, it has certain antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, etc., which is helpful for the prevention and treatment of skin infections.

It can effectively reduce free radicals in the body, minimize oxidative damage, prevent aging-related diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and also delay skin aging, reducing wrinkles and pigmentation.
Other functions: Research shows that glycyrrhizin also has potential physiological activities such as anti-liver fibrosis, inhibition of tumor cell growth, regulation of blood sugar and blood lipids, protection of nerve cells, and prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. It has certain therapeutic effects on diabetic nephropathy and liver diseases.
