hey, not to worry, its not like eating twigs

just means you can get it in supplement form or tea form if you'd prefer it that way. and there are supplements that are DGL (DGL stands for De-Glycyrrhizinated Licorice. Licorice contains a naturally occurring substance known as glycyrrhizin. When consumed, glycyrrhizin has been shown to increase blood pressure and water retention). don't know about the candy variety. i used the supplement form when i needed it as i never was a big licorice fan growing up.....used to trade all my black jelly beans at easter time. my stepdad was a big fan of licorice though. i remember trading and bartering black jelly beans for chocolate with him.
