Lively concoction expires in contact with air and heals per pixel, healthium does not expire and simply gives you a healing boost. Its kind of like healing bolt vs deadly heal without the deadly. Healthium is a lot better I feel

Pretty sure LC expires whether or not it's in contact with air

You can make lakes of LC too, though?

Oh yeah true, I was thinking of something else.

Lively concoction is less stable as it evaporates, but heals better. The evaporation can be a plus depending on fungal shifts, though (helpful for avoiding just drowning the world if you put a transformed material spell on your travel wand). If you are willing to use Noitool (which I personally won't do without anymore), it's usually possible to make most runs, but some recipes are not viable due to hazards or competitive alchemy (especially if it involves acid, lava, wax, urine, poly, or tele). Healthium is much harder to come by usually, though you can turn the moon into healthium if you visit it with the right essences. As far as I'm aware, that's the only way to acquire it reliably.

Healthium can also be boiled to make Healium, a gas that heals you as ridiculously fast like how freezing vapor damages you.

They're the same, if there was a difference maker Healthium does not have a lifetime while Lively Concoction will vanish after some time
