- timdorr 6y agoWell, this is just wacky: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7311916/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7311916/ So, I guess take some potassium with black licorice and you'll defeat COVID-19!
- amyjess 6y agoAlternately, if you're a woman with hypertension, ask your doctor to prescribe you some spironolactone to take along with your licorice. It's a potassium-sparing diuretic that was originally developed as a blood pressure drug. Since hyperkalemia is a potential side effect of spiro, licorice consumption can mitigate that. And as for why you should only take it if you're a woman... well, I guess men can take it, but they wouldn't like the fact that it suppresses your testosterone into the ground.
