Wondering why water-soluble CBD is the best? Water-soluble CBD is a uniquely formulated product that allows for more robust absorption and faster effects than oil-based tinctures.

With these formulations, people can better harness CBD's benefits, which may include improved sleep, less chronic pain, and fewer mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression.

This guide will explain why water-soluble CBD should be your top choice. Read on to learn how these unique products are made, why they are superior to other oral CBD formulations, and how to boost their potency even further.

What Is Water-Soluble CBD?

Water-soluble CBD is a product that easily mixes with water and other liquids. It consists of nano-CBD particles that dissolve when they come in contact with water and water-based liquids like juice, tea, and smoothies.

Lets quickly compare water-soluble CBD to traditional oil-based products. Oil is hydrophobic and does not mix well with water or water-based beverages. Whereas, Water Soluble CBD is broken down smaller so it mixes with liquids and is absorbed faster and more effectively into the bloodstream.

The bloodstream is responsible for carrying active ingredients like CBD around the body. With blood consisting of about 90% water, the water soluble CBD is distributed throughout the whole body faster and is absorbed more efficiently. However, with a CBD oil the body filters out much of the CBD before it can reach the bloodstream and exert its effects. This means that you can take less water soluble CBD than you would of an oil based CBD.

Manufacturers make CBD in oil form because cannabinoids themselves are lipophilic. Which means, they dissolve best in fats like oil, making it easier and faster to produce.

Another unique quality of water-soluble CBD is that manufacturers dissolve the nano-CBD particles in oil before adding emulsifiers. Emulsified oils are more bioavailable, or readily absorbed by the bloodstream.

Why Water-Soluble CBD Is the Best

Water-soluble CBD is superior to CBD oils in terms of speed of onset and potency. If you prefer to take CBD with your morning smoothie or cup of orange juice, water-soluble CBD is also the better choice.

Next, learn why water-soluble CBD is fast-acting, better absorbing, and easier to use than alternative formats.

Faster-Acting Effects

The fastest way to feel the effects of CBD, or any other active ingredient for that matter, is to inject it straight into the bloodstream. Otherwise, inhalation is the fastest way to feel a substance's effects.

CBD is not available as an injectable, and smoking or even vaping does not stay in your system long enough to give the best results. The safest way to experience CBD's benefits, then, is to ingest it.

When ingested, a substance must pass through the digestive system before it reaches the liver. Liver enzymes metabolize and send it to the bloodstream, which can travel to the brain and exert its effects.

Water-soluble CBD products undergo this process more efficiently than CBD oils. That's because the digestive system has a harder time digesting oils, slowing its path to the bloodstream.

Additionally, the process of digesting oil-based products destroys much of the CBD. Water-soluble CBD gets around both problems, allowing the product to offer fast relief from the symptom(s) you need it for.

Improved Absorption

We just mentioned that much of the oil-based CBD someone ingests gets destroyed during digestion. Research shows that only 6% of an oral oil-based CBD product makes it to the bloodstream; the rest is lost to digestion.

Emulsified nano-CBD particles have been shown to improve oral CBD's bioavailability by 21% to 34%, depending on the product and formulation. That means less of it gets lost during digestion.

Water-based CBD's enhanced absorption comes from the process by which manufacturers produce these products. The manufacture we prefer is Lifeoria. Lifeoria uses cutting-edge nanotechnology to divide the cannabinoids into smaller parts.

These particles are then encapsulated in emulsifiers that improve CBD's ability to dissolve in water. It also protects them from being targeted and metabolized by the stomach and liver.

Ultimately, these qualities allow more CBD to reach the bloodstream. A smaller dose may be more effective, allowing your products to last longer and you to get more bang for your buck.

Ease of Use

One of the top questions we get from customers about water-based CBD products is how to use them. It's simple: just add a quarter dropper to a glass of water or another liquid, mix with a spoon, and drink up.

Unlike CBD oils, water-soluble CBD won't form an oily layer on your beverages. Add to your beverage of choice and watch the CBD mix in seamlessly.

Water-soluble products also have a more neutral flavor. If you've ever used CBD oil before, you may have been turned off by the oily, earthy flavor just as much as its texture. Water-based CBD is different, in fact, we give a sample of the Lifeoria Water Soluble CBD in store so people can try it out.

In addition to its ease of use, this kind of CBD is more discreet. Depending on your state, CBD may be legal to use and not share the stigma of THC and traditional cannabis products. Still, many people prefer to conceal their use.

If that sounds like you, water-based CBD is the product for you. Imagine adding your daily dose to a water bottle and sipping it. You can also take some Lifeoria Golden Gummies with you to work, and no one will ever know your secret! The Lifeoria Golden Gummies are a Water Soluble Gummy, which has the benefits of water soluble in a gummy form, but more on that later.

Other Tips for Improving CBD Absorption

Switching to water-soluble CBD products is not the only way to improve the absorption rate of your favorite products.

Taking CBD with a meal and avoiding beverages with other active ingredients can also boost the efficacy of your dose. Using these tips with your water-soluble CBD tincture offers maximum potency and speed of onset.

Take CBD With a Meal

Eating food alongside or before taking CBD can improve absorption and slow metabolism in the bloodstream. Ultimately, that makes for faster-acting, more potent, and longer-lasting effects.

A recent study found that CBD concentration in the bloodstream is three times higher six hours after consuming a meal than when taking CBD fasting. It also increases the CBD's bioavailability by more than two times.

Another interesting benefit of water-soluble CBD is its positive impact on insulin and triglyceride levels. However, it is unclear whether this effect is present in all CBD products or water-based CBD alone.

Avoid Other Active Ingredients

When the body is exposed to active ingredients like CBD, enzymes help to break it down or metabolize it. The same thing happens when the digestive system is exposed to other active ingredients.

Water-soluble CBD is designed to be taken with liquids. However, taking CBD with beverages like caffeine or alcohol may slow its effects. These active ingredients compete with CBD, slowing their passage to the bloodstream.

The best liquid to dissolve CBD is water. Other water-based beverages to consider include milk, juice, smoothies, seltzer water, coconut water, herbal tea, and caffeine-free soft drinks. But don't worry, you can still add it to your coffee and wine.

Are There Any Drawbacks to Water-Soluble CBD?

There is one drawback to water-soluble CBD: it is not as long-lasting as slower-absorbing products. Because it reaches the bloodstream faster, it is also metabolized from the bloodstream faster.

As mentioned, taking water-soluble CBD with food may prolong the effects. Taking a higher dose may also offer slightly longer-lasting benefits, though, not significantly.

People needing CBD for all-day relief may find benefit to using the water soluble CBD multiple times a day. The manufacture, Lifeoria, recommends taking a quarter dropper twice a day. This consistency allows your body to use the CBD more effectively throughout the day. Still even as an as needed boost, because this type of product is much faster-acting, it may be the perfect supplement to your go-to CBD product.
