What Is Water Soluble CBD?
Find out more about water-soluble CBD and what processes it goes through to make the oil less water resistant, thus increasing the bioavailability and effectiveness.
Published June 29, 2021.
CBD is generally a hydrophobic substance, meaning it does not mix with water. Our bodies mainly consist of h20, therefore, it also resists absorbing the oil into the bloodstream, reducing the bioavailability.
You might be wondering how it is possible to manufacture water-soluble CBD while oil and water cannot mix?
Read through the following article to learn how it's done.
The Processes
Making CBD water-soluble is still very much an experimental process. Because of this, different methods are used, and the full impact of these processes on the body is not yet known.
So far, the most effective method involves using nanotechnology and soundwaves to break CBD into tiny particles and attaching them to nanocarriers that are attracted to water while simultaneously shielding the CBD from being broken down. However, the science behind the impact of nanotech on the body is not yet certain.
Another method that has been used is attaching sugar molecules to the CBD, thus increasing the water solubility. Since the body naturally uses sugar molecules to detoxify, it makes it easier for the body to utilize.
Conclusion
These solutions are indeed promising. However, the possible side-effects of using nanotech within the body are not yet certain.
