Liverwort extract: Distinguish diluted versions and concentrates
Compare the version and package contents separately to distinguish the two Martenbrown liverwort-extract offers.
For liverwort extract, the version and the container size are two separate choices. Martenbrown offers a water-diluted version in several sizes and a product with no additional dilution containing one litre. This guide helps you distinguish the offers clearly. It compares product information and provides no mixing or application instructions.
Check the version first, then the contents
The water-diluted liverwort extract is described with a blend of 20 parts liverwort extract and 80 parts added water. That product page lets you choose between 500 ml, 1,000 ml and 5 litres. The liverwort extract with no additional dilution is a separate offer containing one litre.
One litre therefore appears in two different contexts in the range. The quantity alone does not identify the product uniquely. Always read the complete name and the stated version first. Then compare which package size you want to select.
| Check | Water-diluted | No additional dilution |
|---|---|---|
| Described blend | 20 parts extract and 80 parts added water | Offered without additional dilution |
| Container sizes | 500 ml, 1,000 ml and 5 litres | 1 litre, equivalent to 1,000 ml |
| Information about the extract used | Contains alcohol denatured with butanone | Contains alcohol denatured with butanone |
| Additional equipment | Check current delivery contents for the selected version | An additional spray head is listed as included |
Understanding “diluted” and “concentrate” when comparing
“Water-diluted” describes the published blend here. It is not an analysis of individual constituents. In particular, 20 parts of the extract used does not equal a confirmed concentration of 20 percent of a particular plant substance. Keep blend descriptions and analytical information separate.
For the other product, Martenbrown uses the wording “no additional dilution”. If you are searching for a concentrate, that precise description is more useful than assuming “pure liverwort”. The product page expressly lists denatured alcohol in the extract used. The version alone does not establish an application or an effect.
Compare millilitres and litres on the same basis
500 ml equals 0.5 litres, 1,000 ml equals one litre and 5 litres equals 5,000 ml. Use these conversions to organise a comparison of containers. They describe contents only. A larger container does not automatically mean a different version, and two equally sized containers are not automatically the same product.
On your shopping list, write more than “liverwort 1 litre”: for example, “water-diluted liverwort extract, 1,000 ml”. This keeps the intended offer clear during an enquiry or a later order. If several people purchase supplies, use the same complete description.
Clarify unanswered questions for the specific product
Before selecting, read the complete labelling and available product documentation. If you need information about intended use, ask for the details of exactly the chosen version. A precise enquiry is: “Which labelling and instructions for use apply to this container?” Give the product name, version and contents.
An additional spray head initially describes the delivery contents of the one-litre offer with no additional dilution. It does not tell you what the product may be used for. Do not transfer an application from a different extract or another supplier's information. The general term “extract” does not replace specific product details either.
Check the selection before ordering
For the diluted version, check the selected contents option again. Compare the complete product name and selected amount in your purchasing overview. For price comparisons, use current prices on the same quantity basis and keep the two versions separate. Obtain prices and availability from the current product pages.
- Identify the version: water-diluted or no additional dilution.
- Use the complete product name rather than only the number of litres.
- Select the contents and compare them in the same unit.
- Read information about the extract used and delivery contents.
- Ask specific questions about missing labelling or use instructions.
- Check product name and contents selection again before ordering.
Common questions
Are the two one-litre offers the same?
No. One is water-diluted; the other is offered without additional dilution. One litre describes the contents in each case.
Does “no additional dilution” mean pure liverwort?
The description identifies the version. The product page lists alcohol denatured with butanone in the extract used, so do not assume purity yourself.
Does the additional spray head authorise an application?
No. It is information about delivery contents. Check the particular use against the product labelling and documentation.
