Bioavailability is the extent to which a substance can be absorbed and successfully utilised by the body.

When we consume CBD products such as CBD Oil and CBD capsules, only approximately 10-20% of the CBD tends to be absorbed by the digestive system. This can be improved by using the sub-lingual method (holding the drops under the tongue), or by ingesting CBD with a high-fat meal.

Furthermore, the entourage effect from all of the other cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds means these products still work very well. However, bioavailability will still remain comparatively low.

Water-soluble CBD overcomes poor CBD bioavailability by offering CBD and other cannabinoids in a formula which easier for the body to absorb. Our BIO-MAX product, for example, can be up to 10 times more effective than oil when ingested.

The bio-availability of transdermal patches is estimated to be around 40-45%, meaning that approximately 30% more CBD could make it into the bloodstream than orally ingested CBD Oil UK products. Making them a highly effective way to consume CBD.
