Water soluble CBD products are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to conventional CBD oils. They can be added to hot or cold drinks including alcohol, making it easy for users to include CBD in their daily routines. This is an especially useful option for people who don’t like the taste of CBD oils, as many water soluble options are taste-free. Understanding how water soluble CBD works and the ways people can use it is important for users who are wondering if it could be a suitable option for them.
How does water soluble CBD absorb?
Water soluble CBD is a relatively new and innovative option for CBD ingestion. While most oils are taken sublingually, meaning they’re held under the tongue for two minutes, water soluble products are drinkable and free from the distinctive taste of most CBD oils.
When oils are held under the tongue, they’re absorbed by thin mucous membranes. With water soluble CBD, it travels through the digestive tract and the liver before entering the bloodstream. The smaller particles found in water soluble CBD products are thought to be easier for the body to absorb.
The higher bioavailability of water soluble CBD products means that the active ingredients are able to be absorbed at a quicker and higher rate. These products are therefore thought to have a higher efficacy, partially due to the fact that the body is high in water content, making water soluble CBD more naturally compatible and easier to process. The absorption rate is believed to be around 90%.
How do people use water soluble CBD?
One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of water soluble CBD products is their versatility. CBD users can add this type of product to their tea, coffee, juice, soft drink, or water, among other popular beverages. Another option for using water soluble CBD products is to add them to a nebuliser. This allows the active ingredients in the product to be inhaled in a healthy and effective way.
As with any CBD product, the rule of thumb is still to start low and slowly grow. This means users should begin with a low dose and usage frequency and build both up until they reach their desired results and find their CBD ‘sweet spot’.
What water soluble CBD options does Simply CBD offer?
At Simply CBD, we’re proud to offer a water soluble product called Entourage Aqua Water Soluble CBD. This product comes in two strengths; 3.2% and 4.4%. Those who are new to using CBD or are used to products with a lower dosage should start with the lower strength and only move up if they don’t reach their desired results after 8 weeks. This is because taking too much CBD too quickly can cause adverse effects.
Our Entourage Aqua CBD is a tasteless, full spectrum CBD product. This means that as well as CBD, it contains terpenes and plant compounds produced by the hemp plant. Terpenes can help ensure a slower breakdown of the cannabinoids that absorb into the bloodstream.
In addition to the range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds packed into Entourage Aqua CBD, it also includes curcumin. Curcumin, which gives turmeric its taste and colour, is known to be an antioxidant powerhouse that helps reduce inflammation and prevent further flare ups. It’s also known to relieve the symptoms of ‘leaky gut’ syndrome and osteoarthritis. In India, turmeric is widely used for the treatment of skin conditions, aches and pains, and digestive problems. The consistent use of curcumin has produced impressive results in various studies.
