OUR PROCESS
How We Work & Why It Matters
At Livespore, we don’t outsource the important parts. We grow, extract, and bottle everything in-house on Vancouver Island.
So you know exactly what goes into every drop — and how it was made.
From Spore to Fruiting Body
Quality begins at the genetic level. We don’t buy in random cultures – we build our library with care.
- Careful spore selection and ongoing genetic monitoring of our cultures.
- Sustainable, locally sourced inputs with organic substrates and spawn.
- Clean, monitored grow rooms with controlled air, humidity, and light.
- Lab-verified cultures to confirm strain identity and contaminant-free genetics.
Full-Spectrum Dual Extraction
We use modern extraction technology to pull out both water- and alcohol-soluble compounds, then remove the alcohol from the final product.
- Advanced, state-of-the-art extraction equipment and validated techniques.
- Ultrasonic, low-temperature extraction to preserve heat-sensitive compounds.
- Organic grape alcohol used during extraction, fully removed before bottling.
- Full-spectrum extracts focused on maximum potency, clarity, and purity.
Small-Batch Formulation
Every formula is blended in controlled small batches so we can measure, taste, and adjust until it meets our internal specs.
- Scientifically balanced ratios for consistent dosing and mouthfeel.
- Homogeneous mixing protocols to keep every serving uniform from first drop to last.
- Batch records for each lot so every bottle can be traced back to its source materials.
- Iterative testing and refinement instead of mass-production shortcuts.
Testing & Transparency
We document what we do, test our work, and share our methods so you can trust what’s on the label.
- Potency & identity verification to confirm active compounds and species.
- Routine checks for contaminants and off-spec batches before anything ships.
- Clear batch codes and dates so you can trace every bottle.
- Plain-language explanations of our process – no vague marketing claims.
