Glycyrrhetinic acid is available in alpha and beta forms. The alpha form is present in the highest amounts in the stomach and liver, and it is thought that the dominance of glycyrrhetinic acid in these areas can produce anti-inflammatory effect.

Glycyrrhetinic acid also works to lower inflammatory substances and free radical levels in the body.
