At Bettr Botanics, we design products that we would buy ourselves. And we are unapologetically snobby about it. So if you have discerning tastes and want to know what makes some extracts better than others, we think you should know about our exclusive use of water-soluble cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, and CBN).
Cannabinoids like CBD and CBG are lipophilic and hydrophobic. In plain English, these compounds like to mix with lipids (oils) and don’t like dissolving in water. That’s why the CBD and CBG tinctures you see tend to be oil-based. But the cannabinoid particles clump together in these solutions, and the body must break down the lipids. These factors restrict bioavailability — speed of onset and overall effectiveness.
As mentioned at the beginning, our products use 100% water-soluble cannabinoids. These water-soluble forms are estimated to be 5x to 15x more effective due to higher bioavailability. Sometimes referred to as nanotechnology, the water-soluble process involves encapsulating the cannabinoid particles inside larger, ball-shaped particles called micelles. The micelles are themselves water-soluble and prevent the cannabinoids from clumping together. In essence, the micelles package the CBD and CBG into much smaller particles that penetrate and reach your bloodstream almost immediately.
Okay, so you’re thinking nanotechnology? Encapsulating particles? Bullshit! These people are selling. Well yes, we are selling, but checkout this research posted at the National Institute of Health about water-soluble CBD. And we also went out and got our own data in a pharmacokinetic study conducted by our product development partner. See below. Pretty convincing, right?
