Everything You Need to Know About CBD!

What are CBD drops and sprays?

CBD sprays/drops are simply CBD oils that have either a pipette or spray applicator. These oils can be flavoured, and carry different strengths of CBD. The formulation of drops and sprays are similar, though depending on which type they are, they can make use of different carrier oils.

Why Should I Use CBD Oils?

CBD oils are one of the easiest and most convenient ways of taking CBD. We’ve put together a basic user’s guide for cannabidiol which breaks down other options, but before making your first purchase we think it’s best to be as informed as possible. So, how do CBD oils differ from other CBD products?

CBD Oils are Easy to Use

The linchpin of comprehending the different methods of consuming CBD is bioavailability. In essence, bioavailability is the degree and rate of absorption of any given compound into your circulatory system. Generally, the quicker the pathway into your bloodstream, the higher the bioavailability, hence the use of IV drips in situations where a quick onset is required. 

Accordingly, the issue with taking CBD orally is that it passes through the stomach before reaching circulation, where a good portion of it dissolves. This is why we recommend taking both our Oral Drops and our Oral Spray sublingually, so that the CBD is absorbed through the blood vessels beneath the tongue. 

Simply lift your tongue and either use the pipette for our oral drops, or the spray applicator for our oral spray to administer a few drops. Then, wait for around 90 seconds until all of the CBD oil has been absorbed. Don’t worry if you swallow some! It’s perfectly safe for ingestion, it’s just noticeably less efficient.
