Licorice contains glycyrrhizin, which is hydrolyzed to produce glycyrrhetinic acid and glucuronic acid. In addition, it also contains glycyrrhizin, liquiritigenin, asparagine, mannitol and so on. According to the latest pharmacological research, some new functions of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch were discovered.

It is rich in 18 amino acids, especially 8 amino acids necessary for human body, which is higher than the high protein standard stipulated by FDA. Black beans also contain 19 kinds of oils, with unsaturated acid content of 80% and absorption rate of over 95%, which can not only meet the human body's demand for fat, but also reduce blood cholesterol. Because black beans basically contain no cholesterol, only phytosterol, which is not absorbed and utilized by human body, can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by human body and reduce the cholesterol content in blood. Therefore, eating black beans often can soften blood vessels, moisturize skin and delay aging, especially for hypertension, heart disease, liver and arterial diseases.
The protein content of black beans is as high as 36% to 40%, which is twice that of meat, three times that of eggs and twelve times that of milk. Black beans are rich in eighteen amino acids, especially eight essential amino acids, which are higher than the advanced protein standard stipulated by FDA. Black beans contain oil 19%, of which 80% are unsaturated fatty acids, and the absorption rate is over 95%. In addition to meeting the body's demand for fat, they also have the function of lowering blood cholesterol.
Black beans, the treasure of anti-aging, ancient pharmacopoeia records that black beans can beautify, improve eyesight, blacken hair and make skin white and tender.

For the elderly, it can soften blood vessels, moisten skin and delay aging, especially for senile diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, liver and arteriosclerosis.
First, anti-gastric ulcer: glycyrrhizin can relieve gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasm, resist gastric acid secretion and protect ulcer surface when used in ulcer disease.
Second, anti-liver injury: glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid have anti-liver injury effects, which can promote bile secretion and reduce bilirubin. It can obviously alleviate hepatocyte necrosis and balloon degeneration in acute hepatitis.
Third, analgesia: liquiritin in licorice has atropine and papaverine-like effects.
Fourth, anti-arrhythmia: often use licorice to make tea, which has a good therapeutic effect on atrial or ventricular premature beats.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) antiviral effect: glycyrrhizin can induce the production of interferon and exert its antiviral effect by directly acting on virus particles.
6. Anti-depression: Isoliquiritigenin and liquiritigenin in Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch can inhibit monoamine oxidase, increase intracellular norepinephrine and reduce transmitter content, and depression will be controlled.
Behcet's disease: Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch can resist complement, regulate immune function and has strong anti-inflammatory effect.
Eight, detoxification: licorice can decompose glucuronic acid in the liver, and when combined with poisons, no poisons can be excreted; Glycyrrhizin can directly adsorb toxic substances in the stomach to achieve the purpose of detoxification; Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch can induce the action of liver drug enzymes and accelerate the metabolism of poisons.
