FAQ: Glycerine vs Alcohol
Posted by TriLight Health on Aug 5th 2025
Q- What is the difference between Glycerine vs Alcohol in tinctures?
A- If done correctly glycerine pulls out more water soluble constituents than grain alcohol and more than just water and allows for a very stable shelf life. We do not add flavors or sweeteners to our extracts like found in many other brands. We use Kosher vegetable glycerine from palm kernel oils and/or coconuts. Unlike alcohol it doesn't have ill effects on diabetics, alcoholics and the liver, making it a great product for adults and children. Our tinctures provide a concentrated form of the herb giving more rapid results. They are also much more cost effective as assimilation is higher. Typically dosage with our products is much lower than the same herbs extracted in alcohol.
