CBD BIOAVAILABILITY

Since low-THC products were legalized in 2018, the use of the non-psychoactive CBD compound has skyrocketed.  Consumers are flocking to products containing CBD because of the benefits it may provide to those seeking relief from anxiety, sleep issues, skin problems, and more. 

This also means consumers want to get the most efficacy out of the products they choose., To maximize product value, manufacturers often prioritize methods of increasing the CBD bioavailability in what they make to the highest degree. Antares Vitamin E TPGS Increases the Bioavailability of CBD and Other Botanical Oils

CBD can be ingested through various forms, including tinctures and edibles.  The delivery method of CBD determines its bioavailability, or the percentage of the substance absorbed into the bloodstream after it is fully processed throughout the body. Knowing the bioavailability of your product allows you to tailor the product to your health and wellness goals.

Bioavailability is typically measured against intravenous administration, which results in 100 percent of the CBD being actively available. Though various studies may disagree about the different levels of bioavailability of E OIL CBD that are dependent on the method of ingestion, for the most part, bioavailabilities of various product types fall into a standard range.[1] 

How Vitamin E TPGS Improves CBD Efficacy

The rate and the extent of absorption in the body are important factors to consider when assessing the potency of an edible CBD product.  When consumed in the form of an oil, CBD has very low bioavailability due in part to the combined effects of poor solubility and low permeability in the gut.  When emulsified with TPGS, the solubility of CBD can be dramatically improved and the P-gp efflux pump inhibition can improve permeability and absorption.  Overall, these properties of TPGS allow more CBD to enter the bloodstream, creating a faster and more powerful effect.
