Our Water-Soluble CBD Technology: The Nanoemulsified Difference


Nanoemulsified Softgels

Across the CBD industry, one of the biggest challenges is creating products that are well absorbed by the body. You may have heard the big buzz around nanoemulsified, water-soluble products like those we offer here at Big Sky Botanicals. These products are designed to combat absorption issues and offer more flexible ways to utilize CBD.

The Problem with Oil-Based CBD

It's a simple, ugly truth - oil-based CBD products that are swallowed suffer from poor bioavailability. This means that those oil-based capsules that you may have been taking are seriously ineffective. These products have very low absorption rates when consumed.

This issue isn't trivial - the bioavailability is so poor that studies show as little as 10% of the valuable cannabinoids are absorbed, even when carrier oils are used. This means that up to 90% of the precious CBD content is washed away out of the body as waste.

Sublingual application of oil-based tinctures allows for the CBD content to be absorbed via the mucous membranes when held under the tongue. This improves the absorption rates but does not solve the issue for CBD products that are swallowed.

What is Water Soluble CBD & How is Our Nanoemuslified Process Different?

Nanoemulsified CBD oil has been emulsified or broken into tiny particles and suspended in a liquid. The term water-soluble is used to describe these products as the oil particles are so small that they disperse throughout the water - giving the appearance of dissolving into water.

Just like the pharmaceutical industry using these technologies to help increase the absorption rates of medications, we use this technology to improve the absorption of our oral CBD products.

Here at Big Sky Botanicals, we utilize a superior nanoemulsification process that breaks the oil extract into nano-sized particles averaging 25 nanometers in diameter.

The result is a larger surface area requiring a low amount of surfactants to be used to keep the emulsion stable. This helps to increase the absorption of our consumable products up to 5x when compared to a traditional swallowed oil-based product.

The result is a more effective product that absorbs more readily and more effectively than both swallowed oil-based products and tinctures. It also means that you can take less for the same results, increasing the overall value and saving you money.
