There are 79 Tonics in total that are split into two categories: Volatile and Enriching. Enriching Tonics grant you more loot throughout your runs, while Volatile Tonics provide buffs in your activities. They also reinforce specific Artifact mods by adding other effects on top of them.
Here are all of the Tonics we’ve unlocked so far, their recipes, and how you can unlock more recipes in Destiny 2.
Tonic effect time:
Tonics last for a set period of time. You can increase Tonic’s base duration with upgrades. However, the higher the rarity, the longer the Tonic will last.

How to unlock new Tonics in Destiny 2
To unlock more recipes, all you have to do is craft more Tonics from the same category. Though you only start with the basic version, concocting more of those potions will teach you more and more combinations of escalating rarity.
It took us around five crafted Tonics to unlock the next in line. For instance, crafting five Tonic of Onslaught Gear gave us the recipe for the Tonic of Onslaught: Weaponry. This process is necessary for things like unlocking the Fieldwork quests for Eido and to gain even more recipes.
However, some Tonics are linked to the Fieldwork quests you can complete from Eido and secrets in the Kell’s Fall Exotic mission.
