Glyco Reset Low Potassium Licorice Question: What the Sources Say
Glyco Reset low potassium licorice is a fair question: the blend lists monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, a licorice-derived compound, and Sloan Kettering says the most common licorice side effect is high blood pressure with low potassium. The label prints no amount for it. Ask a pharmacist first if you take blood pressure medicine or a diuretic.

The ingredient01
Why does Glyco Reset low potassium licorice come up?
It comes up because one of the 21 blend names is a licorice compound, monoammonium glycyrrhizinate, a salt of glycyrrhizin.
Glycyrrhizin is the sweet compound in licorice root. Sloan Kettering says the most common side effect of licorice is hypokalemic hypertension, meaning high blood pressure with low potassium (MSK, Licorice (About Herbs)).
We found no source on this exact salt, and the label prints no amount. So the risk in a dropper is unknown, not zero and not proven.
What is named02
What cautions do the sources attach to licorice?
They name blood pressure, potassium and heart rhythm, plus a list of medicines that can clash.
NCCIH says glycyrrhizin can cause an irregular heartbeat with large or long-term use, and that even small amounts have been linked to severe effects in people with high blood pressure, heart or kidney conditions or high salt intake (NCCIH, Licorice Root). It gives no safe daily amount.
| Point | Source says | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Common side effect | High blood pressure with low potassium | No amount |
| Heart rhythm | Irregular beat with large or long use | No amount |
| Medicines named | Diuretics, blood pressure medicine, heart glycosides, insulin, metformin, warfarin | No amount |
| Safe daily amount | None given | None |
On the label03
Where does the licorice compound sit on the label?
It is the eighteenth of 21 names inside the 200 mg blend, so the licorice share is at most 200 mg and probably far less.
The order is by weight, per the federal rule for blends (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR), Supplement Facts and proprietary blends), but no split is printed. The levels below show when to call about symptoms.
- See a doctor soonIncreased thirst, frequent urination, unusual tiredness, blurred vision, or repeated shakiness after meals.
- See a doctor the same dayReadings of 70 mg/dL or lower more than once, or low-sugar signs that keep coming back.
- Stop and call your doctorA racing or uneven heartbeat, new swelling, severe headache, yellow skin or eyes, or dark urine after starting any supplement.
- Emergency room or 911Fainting, a seizure, severe confusion, trouble breathing, or low blood sugar that does not come up after treatment.
Signs drawn from public health and clinic sources (Mayo Clinic, Hypoglycemia) (MedlinePlus, Low blood sugar) (LiverTox, Green Tea). This list is not complete, and a supplement is never a reason to wait.
Who should ask first04
Who should ask a pharmacist about licorice first?
People on diuretics or blood pressure medicine, people with heart or kidney conditions, and anyone with a history of low potassium should ask first.
Ask for a potassium check if your doctor thinks it is needed. Headache, muscle weakness, cramps or an uneven heartbeat after starting a supplement are reasons to call. Chest pain or fainting is an emergency: call 911.
Keep taking prescribed medicine and tell your doctor and pharmacist about every supplement. See the licorice page and the medicine check.

FAQ06
Glyco Reset questions people ask
Does Glyco Reset lower potassium?
No study tested it, so we cannot say. The blend lists a licorice compound, and licorice is linked to low potassium in the sources. The label prints no amount, so ask a pharmacist if you take diuretics.
Is monoammonium glycyrrhizinate the same as licorice root?
It is a salt of glycyrrhizin, the sweet compound in licorice root. The sources we read name glycyrrhizin or licorice, not this salt, so we found no direct source on it.
What are symptoms of low potassium?
Muscle weakness, cramps and an uneven heartbeat are common signs. Only a blood test shows potassium. Call a doctor if they appear, and call 911 for chest pain or fainting.
Is deglycyrrhizinated licorice the same thing?
No. Sloan Kettering says DGL is free of glycyrrhizin. The label here names a glycyrrhizin salt, not DGL.
