Drinking a Hearty Elixir will give extra hearts that will be used before your normal hearts if you take damage. The extra hearts are shown in yellow.
To make a base Hearty Elixir, you need a Monster Part and a Creature (just one) with the Extra Hearts effect.

To increase the Duration of a potion, you need to add more Monster Parts to the mix. Especially Dragon parts give large bonuses, so they are the recommended materials for increasing elixir duration!
The easiest way to come by Elixirs, by far, is to make them yourself. As you journey through Hyrule, you will no doubt gather large amounts of Monster Drops and Items, so use these to craft the potions you need.
Beedle will trade Elixirs in return for any beetles you're carrying, but the potion you get is random. He will tell you what he's willing to trade for, so you can always turn him down and try again, or find him somewhere else until he offers a Hearty Elixir.

Elixirs only work with critters, not all creatures. If it's an item to cook with, like fish, snail, or vegetables, it won't work in an elixir! It makes Dubious Food instead. Elixirs need bugs or lizards.
