Tips for Maximizing CBD Absorption

Consume with Fatty Foods: CBD is fat-soluble, meaning it dissolves in fats rather than water. To increase its bioavailability, consume CBD with a high-fat meal. Studies indicate that taking CBD with fatty foods can enhance absorption into the bloodstream by up to four times compared to taking it on an empty stomach.

Sublingual Administration: Taking CBD oil sublingually (under the tongue) allows it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the capillaries under the tongue. This method bypasses the digestive system and liver metabolism, resulting in higher bioavailability compared to oral consumption. For maximum absorption, hold the CBD oil under your tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing.

Supplement with Sunflower Lecithin: Sunflower lecithin can enhance CBD absorption by acting as an emulsifier. It helps break down CBD oil into smaller particles, making it easier for the body to absorb. Adding sunflower lecithin to your CBD regimen may improve its effectiveness.
