COLUMBIA - A neuroscientist at the University of South Carolina is doing research on an extract from licorice root that could treat or even prevent the brain cell death found in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's... liquiritigenin... "We're interested in a specific form of licorice which is only found in the high mountains of China. This comes from, actually discovered via traditional Chinese medicine recipe, which have been used there for many thousands of years. We're just now identifying what the active component is to some of those Eastern treatments."

The LQ is a phytoestrogen, which is a compound that's found naturally in plants and mimics the hormone estrogen... LQ may also help improve memory.

"It's just amazing that plants make these compounds and we're just now looking at some of these active components that have been around for thousands of years. They're actually very, very potent and we're very, very excited about the future for degenerative disorders."
