Licorice Root
Licorice Root, marketed by Cairo University, holds a unique position in the natural remedies segment, leveraging its long-standing traditional use. The key composition patent, set to expire in 2028, provides a significant barrier to entry for potential competitors. However, the lack of a defined primary indication and revenue data poses a strategic risk, potentially limiting its market expansion and investment appeal.
