Why do your liquid extracts contain alcohol?Updated 9 months ago

Alcohol is used to extract the alcohol-soluble compounds (mainly antioxidants such as triterpenoids) to make them bioavailable for the consumer. Without alcohol, our extracts would only include water-soluble compounds, missing out on the full range of benefits mushrooms can provide. The use of alcohol ensures you receive a comprehensive profile of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds, maximizing the therapeutic potential of our extracts.

One serving of extract contains 0.6 ml of alcohol, equivalent to 0.4 g of alcohol, which is only 4% of a standard drink—an amount too small to have any intoxicating effects.
