Is there/why is there alcohol in your extracts?Updated 7 months ago

There is alcohol (sugar cane spirit) in our extracts.

If you add your daily 1ml of extract to a 250ml glass of water the total alcohol content would only be 0.12%.

Alcohol is an important part of the extraction process, we explain this in The Science.

After extraction, leaving the extract in its liquid carrier minimises further processing and reduces degradation of bioactive compounds.

The alcohol also works as a preservative in the bottles. The extracted mushrooms would ferment and spoil without the preserving alcohol.
