Understanding how your body absorbs and processes cannabis compounds is key to getting the most out of your wellness products. Today, we're diving into the science of bioavailability - a crucial factor that affects how effectively your body can use cannabinoids.
What is Bioavailability?
Bioavailability refers to the proportion of a substance that enters your bloodstream when introduced to the body and can have an active effect. Think of it as your body's ability to actually use what you're consuming.
Different Methods, Different Rates
Research shows that different consumption methods lead to varying absorption rates:
1. Sublingual (Under the Tongue):
- 20-30% bioavailability rate
- Effects typically begin within 15-30 minutes
- Direct absorption into bloodstream through mucous membranes
- 6-20% bioavailability rate
- Slower onset due to digestion process
- Longer-lasting effects
- Varies significantly by formula
- Localized effects
- Absorption depends on skin condition and product formulation
Factors Affecting Absorption
Several key factors influence how effectively your body absorbs cannabinoids:
1. Personal Metabolism:
- Individual metabolic rates affect processing speed
- Enzyme activity varies person to person
- Age and overall health play a role
- Time of day can impact absorption
- Consistency in timing may improve results
- Personal circadian rhythms matter
- Empty vs. full stomach affects absorption
- Fat content of meals can influence bioavailability
- Hydration levels impact processing
- Manufacturing methods matter
- Carrier oils can enhance absorption
- Product freshness affects potency
