I've seen atomic write a few times that women shouldn't take licorice root because it's been proven to have birth defects and lower IQ. I even decided to stop eating licorice candy after hearing about that. (I wasn't a regular eater, just occasionally, and I'm pretty sure I didn't eat any right before or during my pregnancy.)

Is it good for dh?

It is for husbands ONLY. Women should NOT ever take licorice supplements when TTC OR eat the candy/drink tea even, when pregnant. This is VERY IMPORTANT. DO NOT TAKE LICORICE WHEN TTC. And even for husbands it has not worked and we are using it less and less.

I know there are people on Facebook telling people to take it, but they do not have your best interests at heart. Licorice (just the candy! much less strong than supplements) during pregnancy has been shown to lower baby's IQs and possibly cause other developmental delays. We do not know how long the effects of the supplements (which are of course much more concentrated than the candy) would last into pregnancy or how the baby is harmed by the licorice. It is not acceptibly safe for women to take licorice.

He can take it, but our results the last several years have been quite poor. Below 50-50 for men on licorice.
