　　【What kind of liquor is best for brewing medicinal liquor?】

　　According to many reports, 70% of the liquor on the market is made by blending edible alcohol, flavorings, saccharin, and water. Due to cost reasons, low- and medium-end liquors are almost all blended with alcohol, and many liquors labeled as pure grain are actually blended with edible alcohol.

　　The difference between edible alcohol liquor and pure grain liquor lies in the fact that pure grain liquor is naturally fermented and contains various natural substances that are beneficial to the human body, while edible alcohol liquor is not only harmful to the human body itself due to additives, but also can undermine the efficacy, nutrition, and taste of the raw materials, greatly reducing the effectiveness.

　　Therefore, when brewing liquor, you must choose pure grain liquor without additives. This kind of truly additive-free pure grain liquor is not easy to find on the market. Here, I recommend "Gukangkang Grain Liquor," which is truly brewed with pure grain and is very suitable for brewing medicinal liquor.
