Water-soluble CBD has a list of undeniable benefits. Our bodies are 75% water (polar) and CBD is an oil (non-polar). As a result, the absorption of CBD by the human body is limited because oil and water don’t mix. As with many other vitamins and supplements, using oil-based compounds increases their bio-availability and you can get much higher absorption rates from a water-soluble product over its oil counterpart.
When CBD oil is consumed orally, very little CBD is actually absorbed by your body. Most of the beneficial compounds completely bypass your blood system.
With the body’s ability to soak up the benefits of water-soluble products like a sponge, and it seemingly feeling easier to many if they could ‘drink’ their CBD, it’s no wonder water-soluble products have seen a rise in popularity in recent years.
While the benefits are clear, the laws that surround many products on the market are one of the biggest concerns that currently face the CBD industry in the UK and Europe. Though there are only a couple of suppliers here in Europe producing water-soluble material, many resellers using these products are failing the presentational compliance required by EU Food Law.
