- Water helps to keep the plant material hydrated during the extraction process.
- Some plant compounds are water-soluble; using water during extraction ensures the broadest range of compounds are being captured.
- Water helps reduce the alcohol content in each serving.
- For dry herbs extracted (Ashwagandha, Asian Ginseng, Lemon Balm, Elderberry, Echinacea) it is a 50/50 blend of 190 proof alcohol and water.
