In this blog, we will answer some of the most commonly asked questions about CBD beverages.
What are CBD beverages?
Beverages belong to a class of CBD products known as edibles. As the name suggests, you simply drink the beverage and wait for the CBD to kick in.
How do CBD drinks work?
CBD drinks take a longer route into the body than most CBD products because edibles need to be digested and absorbed in the stomach. The body absorbs the CBD and delivers it into the bloodstream, where it interacts with the Endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS maintains homeostasis and regulates a wide range of bodily functions.
One of the factors limiting the absorption rate in the stomach is the carrier medium. Your body may waste up to 94% of the CBD you ingest. Digesting CBD is one of the most inefficient ways to consume it … until now, enter Nano CBD beverages.
What is Nano CBD?
As mentioned above, ingesting CBD has some drawbacks. They include a reduced bioavailability and absorption rate (compared to other modes of administration such as inhalation). These limitations are largely due to the size of the CBD molecules and the nature of the particles. CBD is hydrophobic, which means it lacks an affinity for water- And since the body contains more than 60% water, the body has a hard time absorbing the active components.
Nano CBD solves the two problems encountered with regular edibles. It improves:Bioavailability Absorption rate.As you might have guessed, Nano CBD molecules are much smaller than regular ones. Their size can range anywhere from 16 -40 nm ( a nanometer is a billionth of a meter), while normal particles can be larger than 4400 nm. The larger surface area of the particles significantly increases the absorption rate in the body. Manufacturers achieve this by subjecting CBD in oil to ultrasonic waves to reduce the particle sizes.
How does Nano CBD compare against other edibles and drinks?
Nano CBD potency beverages and drinks are better than regular products because they are more efficient. Some of the benefits they have over regular products include:
- They kick in faster than conventional products.
- You don’t have to consume as much CBD to get the same effects.
- They work for longer periods.
- The increased bioavailability and absorptions boost the overall potency.
Types of CBD beverages.
CBD beverages come in a plethora of forms. Common products include CBD water, milkshakes, fruit mix, tea, sports drinks, and alcoholic drinks (Yes, there are alcoholic CBD drinks.)
Are CBD beverages safe?
As long as you buy from a reputable and certified vendor, your CBD beverage is safe for consumption. Although there hasn’t been any recorded case of a lethal dose, you should control your dosage to mitigate unwanted side effects.
How much CBD drink should I take?
The amount or volume of the drink you take should depend on the amount of CBD present in it. The generally acceptable dose for a beginner is between 10-20 mg per day. However, with Nano CBD, you can take lower amounts and experience the same effect.
Why you should try CBD beverages.
CBD beverages have a number of advantages over other products like flowers, vapes, and topicals.
Many first-time users who take CBD through flowers or vapes find the vapor harsh and irritating. If you don’t want to smoke or inhale the vapor, taking CBD beverages is a fantastic way for you to start your CBD journey.
Another reason to try beverages is the taste. Beverages are tasty and come in many exciting forms and flavors- there is one for everyone.
Type of CBD products based on spectrum.
You can also classify CBD drinks based on the CBD spectrum. The spectrum refers to the composition of cannabinoids in the products. A Full spectrum drink contains all cannabinoids including not more than 0.3% THC; the broad spectrum contains other cannabinoids except THC, while isolates contain only CBD or another cannabinoid. For instance, if you see a drink labeled as 0% THC CBD beverage, you know it is either broad-spectrum or isolates.
Are there benefits to taking CBD drinks?
Yes, there are many benefits to taking CDB. The cannabinoid has been studied extensively, and some of the proposed benefits include:
- Pain management.
- Reduced anxiety.
- Improved mood.
- Improved sleep.
- Improved appetite.
