Methods of Ingesting CBD
When you use any CBD product, it must be transferred from the administration site into the bloodstream. From there it is transported throughout the cannabinoid receptors (CB1 & CB2) in our endocannabinoid system and other non-cannabinoid receptors like our serotonin receptor (5-HT1A). There are two important concepts to understand here:
1
The path that any CBD product is consumed or applied to the body is defined as the route of administration. This has a direct effect on the uptake, distribution, and elimination of the compound. In practical terms, the way you consume a CBD product will govern how quickly it will come on, how much of the substance becomes active in the body, and how long the effects will last.
2
The process of absorption is the transfer of CBD from the site of application into the bloodstream. This concept is called bioavailability but could also be referred to as simply the effectiveness. This term is defined as the rate and total amount of a product that has an active effect once consumed or applied. This concept is measured as a percentage. This number represents the total amount of a given substance that was absorbed and put to active use – ie 10%. This is an important concept because many popular routes of administration suffer from low bioavailability.
Water Soluble CBD
HempCAP is a Water Soluble CBD
To create HempCAP, the oi-l form of CBD and the other cannabis molecules are broken into tiny particles and emulsified or carried by a hydrophilic (water-friendly) carrier. These forms require the use of a natural surfactant which reduces the surface tension between the oil and liquid. Microemulsions are 1000-5000 nanometer droplets formed by solubilizing CBD oil in water.

It's All About Bioavailability
When CBD-rich material is extracted from cannabis, it takes an oil-based form. Just like any other type of oil, this substance and the cannabinoid content within it is hydrophobic meaning does not dissolve into water.
Bioavailability is defined as: “the amount of a substance that enters the bloodstream when introduced into the body and so is able to have an active effect.” Since our bodies are made of ~60% water, CBD oil naturally resist absorption into the bloodstream. This has a big impact on the bioavailability of some of the most popular and convenient forms of taking CBD including capsules, tinctures, topicals, and edibles. As an example, when oil-based CBD capsules or soft gels are swallowed, some studies show that as little as 4% of the substance actually makes it to the bloodstream.
What this means is that up to 96% of the CBD ends up being flushed from the body without ever having an active effect. The incompatibility with water also means that the small percentage that has an effect on the user has a delayed onset. The low levels of bioavailability and delayed onset have pushed us to find a solution.
What is Water Soluble CBD Oil?
Several new technologies have enabled us to create products that break the oil particles apart into tiny molecules. These particles are then emulsified, allowing them to remain quite stable in this form.
Despite the name, the emulsified CBD-rich oils do not actually dissolve in water, instead, they are transformed into a more water-friendly form. A more accurate term for these products would be ‘water-compatible’. The small particle size simply allows them to disperse throughout water – effectively increasing the surface area of the compounds.
