Licorice and Blood Pressure: What Monoammonium Glycyrrhizinate Means on a Label
Licorice and blood pressure are linked through glycyrrhizin, which can cause serious effects such as irregular heartbeat, especially with large or long-term use. Payarmin lists monoammonium glycyrrhizinate 18th in a 200 mg blend, so one mL holds at most 11.1 mg.

How does licorice affect blood pressure?
Glycyrrhizin, the compound in licorice, can cause serious effects such as irregular heartbeat and, rarely, cardiac arrest, especially with large or long-term use (NCCIH, Licorice Root).
People with high blood pressure, heart or kidney conditions or a high-salt diet may be at risk even from small amounts. Large amounts in pregnancy are unsafe.
| Group | Why |
|---|---|
| High blood pressure | Risk even from small amounts |
| Heart or kidney conditions | Risk even from small amounts |
| High salt intake | Risk even from small amounts |
| Pregnancy | Large amounts unsafe |
| Corticosteroid users | Interactions reported |
How much licorice compound is in Payarmin?
The label shows no amount. Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate is 18th of 22 lines, so a mL holds at most 200 divided by 18, or 11.1 mg.
It is a glycyrrhizin salt, listed as a licorice compound. An even split would be 9.09 mg.
At 2 droppers a day, the ceiling doubles to 22.2 mg. Our source gives no safe threshold, so we do not name one. Because it says even small amounts can matter for some people, the warning stands.
It sits with the other compounds on the other blend herbs page.
Who should ask a doctor first?
Anyone with high blood pressure, a heart or kidney condition, or a blood pressure medicine should ask before using these drops.
The sales page itself advises asking a professional first if you have a heart condition, and Payarmin also lists capsicum, arginine and ginseng, which can touch heart and pressure drugs.
Never stop a blood pressure or heart drug because of a supplement. Take the label to your doctor or pharmacist.

See packsDoes licorice make Payarmin unsafe?
Not for everyone, and the label cannot prove either way. The line is small by ceiling, but its amount is hidden and no lab report is published.
If you have the conditions above, ask first. If you do not, the label math is a fair guide to how little one line can be.
