A NEW OʻAHU MUSHROOM VENTURE · PRE-LAUNCH · NO ORDERS YET

Mushroom Extracts, Explained

Hot-water extracts, dual extracts, ratios, and why tinctures will come later at Liona.

The short answer

Extraction uses a solvent such as water or alcohol to process material. An extract ratio describes manufacturing, not a guaranteed result in a person.

What processing changes

Water-based and alcohol-containing methods yield different mixtures. Dual extract usually indicates both were used but leaves many details unstated. Ask what species and starting material were processed, and what remains in the liquid or powder you will actually consume.

Ratios need context

Ratio conventions vary. A starting-material-to-extract statement does not show every compound or prove that a serving matches a clinical study. Complete specifications and appropriate batch documentation are more useful than a large number printed alone on a package.

Tinctures are a later phase

The initial Liona plan centers on dried mushrooms, tea concepts, and fresh local food. Tinctures require separate formulation, quality, labeling, and safety work. No finished tincture, alcohol percentage, serving size, or release date is announced on this site.
