ABC's of CBD

Absorption

Tincture (Dissolving a drug in an alcohol suspension) products can be found in many different concentrations and flavors. Because CBD is fat soluble and the Endocannabinoid System itself is also lipid based, most high quality tinctures use a carrier oil like grapeseed, olive, or hemp oil to increase absorption. The product is administered sublingually (placed under the tongue) and held there for 30 to 60 seconds. This allows for increased absorption via mucous membranes in the mouth, and also partially bypasses premature CBD breakdown in the liver.

Why use tinctures?

  • They offer the most cost effective way to consume CBD.
  • They present quick delivery of Cannabinoids into the bloodstream.

 

Biology

Recent science has found that the endocannabinoid system does not just respond to the endocannabinoids produced in the body, but also respond to external cannabinoids like the phytocannabinoid cannabidiol, or CBD. Introducing CBD to the body can help reduce the symptoms of a wide range of illnesses including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, chronic inflammation, depression, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, anxiety, and opioid withdrawal.

CBD acts upon CB1 and CBD2 receptors located throughout the body to produce a variety of potentially positive outcomes. CBD does not bind directly to either of these receptors but instead impacts them indirectly. These indirect actions include activating TRPV1 Receptors that work to control important functions like pain perception, body temperature, and inflammation. CBD can also increase the amount of anandamide in the body. Known as the “bliss molecule,” anandamide plays a role in the neural generation of pleasure and motivation.

By stimulating the endocannabinoid system, CBD promotes homeostasis, reduces pain sensation and decreases inflammation.

 

Correct Dosing 

 Best way to get perfect, consistent dosing! Tinctures most often come in 30ml containers with a 1ml dropper. If you know the concentration of your CBD product you can obtain a reliable dosage.
