Why We Use MCT Oil in our CBD / CBG Tinctures


4 minute read

In the realm of CBD and CBG products, the choice of carrier oil is a crucial factor that can significantly impact bioavailability and overall effectiveness. Among the various options available, MCT oil (medium-chain triglyceride) is our preferred choice for its unique properties that enhance the absorption and delivery of cannabinoids into the body.

Maximizing Therapeutic Potential

 

When it comes to maximizing the therapeutic potential of CBD and CBG-rich extracts, the bioavailability of these compounds plays a vital role. Bioavailability refers to the extent and rate at which a substance is absorbed into the bloodstream and becomes available for the body to utilize. In this regard, MCT oil offers several distinct advantages that make it an ideal companion for products made with full spectrum CBD and CBG extracts.

Rapid Absorption

One of the primary reasons we favor this oil for our CBD and CBG hemp tinctures is its exceptional ability to enhance absorption. 

When CBD is blended with MCT Oil, it accelerates its passage through the digestive system. Unlike other oils, MCTs do not require bile salts to be digested, so they move through the body faster. 

This swift action allows them to promptly reach the liver, where they are metabolized almost instantly, resembling the processing of carbohydrates rather than fats. 

Because our hemp extracts are emulsified into MCT, cannabinoid absorption is enhanced. This action leads to a greater concentration of hemp compounds in the bloodstream compared to oils that undergo slower breakdown processes. 

Increased Bioavailability

As a result of this expedited metabolism, CBD and CBG molecules encapsulated in MCT oil experience increased bioavailability compared to other carrier oils. This means that a higher percentage of the cannabinoids ingested are effectively absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to more pronounced and consistent therapeutic effects.

In essence, MCT oil acts as a powerful delivery system, ensuring that the full spectrum of cannabinoids present in the extract can exert their beneficial properties with maximum efficiency.

Faster Onset of Action

Furthermore, the rapid absorption rate offers another significant advantage: faster onset of action. When CBD and CBG are combined with MCT oil, they can bypass the lengthy digestive process that typically accompanies the ingestion of fats. Instead, they are quickly transported to the liver, where they can exert their effects without delay. This means that users may experience the benefits of CBD and CBG more rapidly, making MCT oil an excellent choice for those seeking fast-acting relief from various ailments.

Quality and versatility

The MCT oil we use begins with young organic coconuts pressed into virgin coconut oil. It's then slowly chilled to separate fat solids. The result is a 93% pure medium-chain-triglycerides oil.

MCT oil possesses a range of health benefits, some being antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which may help support immune function and reduce inflammation. Furthermore, this oil has been linked to improved cognitive function and may even aid in the management of certain neurological conditions.


Incorporating Certified Organic MCT Oil Into Our Products

Our collection of CBD and CBG based tinctures are formulated with certified organic MCT oil. We prefer this oil for the reasons above, plus it's more pleasant than alcohol based tinctures. Additionally, MCT has a long shelf life of about 3 years. Other oils such as hemp seed can go rancid is as little as 6 months.

We offer many hemp flower tincture oils designed to support a range of daily needs, including focus, mood enhancement, stress and anxiety relief, improved sleep, and overall well-being. Each tincture is made using small-batch, craft processes that prioritize the integrity of our ingredients. 

Overall, MCT is an excellent carrier oil for our rich hemp extracts. Its unique ability to deliver more CBD & CBG to the body, longer shelf life and stand alone benefits make it our #1 choice for our precious hemp flower extracts.
