Glycerin and the Liquid Base, Explained

Why a Base Matters

Most of a tincture is not the herb; it is the liquid that carries it. In Lung Trust, that is glycerin and purified water.

Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin is a thick, naturally sweet liquid commonly used to carry herbal extracts, and it is a common alcohol-free choice. Some people find large amounts of it bother their stomach.

Purified Water

Water dilutes the extract and keeps the liquid easy to measure by the dropper.

Preservative and Flavor

Potassium sorbate is a widely used preservative that keeps a water-based liquid from spoiling. Natural flavors make the drops more pleasant, though the sources are not specified.

Our Take

The base is ordinary and generally well tolerated. If you have allergies or sensitivities, read the full label and ask your doctor or pharmacist.
