Maximizing the Potential of CBD and THC Oils: An Insight into Our Body's Absorption Efficiency

Have you ever wondered why sometimes, even with the same amount of THC or CBD oil consumed, the impact isn't the same every time? It’s perplexing, isn’t it? There's an unasked question here. How efficient is our body at absorbing these oils? Are we potentially wasting precious elements? And, if yes, then what could be the plausible solution? Let's delve into this intriguing topic.

The Curious Case of Bioavailability

In the simplest terms, bioavailability is the percentage of a substance that enters your bloodstream to produce active effects after consumption. It's like ordering a pizza but only getting to eat a few slices because some were eaten by an uninvited guest - in this case, your body's metabolic processes.

CBD and THC, two primary compounds found in cannabis, have relatively low bioavailability when consumed orally. Research suggests that only about 4-20% of THC and 13-19% of CBD make it to your bloodstream. That's a staggering amount of potential going to waste! But why does this happen?

The Metabolic Culprit: First-Pass Effect

As mysterious as it sounds, the First-Pass Effect is a metabolic process where the concentration of a drug is significantly reduced before it reaches systemic circulation. In other words, the pizza (THC or CBD) gets eaten (metabolized) before it can reach the party (your bloodstream).

Here, enzymes in your liver transform THC and CBD into more soluble substances that can be excreted through urine. It's a safeguard for your body, but unfortunately, it also reduces the impact of your cannabis product.

Is Inhalation a Better Option?

Indeed, inhaling cannabis increases bioavailability. When you smoke or vaporize, THC and CBD are directly absorbed into the bloodstream, bypassing the first-pass metabolism in the liver. The bioavailability here increases to around 30% for THC and 31% for CBD.

So, should you just start smoking or vaping? Well, it's not that simple. Though bioavailability is higher, inhalation comes with its own health risks. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?

Enter: Nanoemulsion

Nanoemulsion technology could be our knight in shining armor. It's a process that breaks down CBD and THC oil into smaller particles, significantly increasing the surface area for absorption. Nanoemulsified cannabis products can provide a bioavailability of up to 90%!

In essence, nanoemulsion ensures that more of the pizza reaches the party. More fun, less waste!

A Future with Optimal Cannabis Consumption

Imagine a world where every drop of CBD or THC oil consumed has maximum effect. With advanced science and technology, like nanoemulsion, this could become a reality. Increased efficiency and decreased wastage could open doors to a more sustainable and economical consumption of cannabis.

In Conclusion

Is it surprising to learn that a significant portion of the CBD or THC oil we consume is not utilized by our body? The first-pass effect plays a huge role in reducing the bioavailability of these compounds, leading to potential wastage. However, science has started to offer solutions to increase bioavailability, presenting an opportunity for us to utilize these oils more effectively.

The cannabis industry is on the precipice of a revolution. Will you be part of it?
