Welcome to the world of nanotechnology, where bigger isn’t always better. As the cannabis industry continues its explosive growth, innovators are constantly seeking ways to enhance the bioavailability of THC and CBD in drinks and edibles. Enter nanoemulsions – tiny yet mighty particles that hold immense potential in revolutionizing how we consume cannabis-infused products. In this blog post, we’re diving headfirst into the fascinating realm of nano-sized wonders, uncovering their role in enhancing bioavailability and unlocking a whole new level of potency for your favorite cannabis beverages and treats. So buckle up, because we’re about to unleash the power of nano like never before!
Introduction to Nano Emulsification
As the cannabis industry continues to grow, product developers are looking for new ways to improve the bioavailability of cannabinoids. One promising approach is nano emulsification, which involves breaking down cannabinoids into extremely small particles that can be easily absorbed by the body.
Nano emulsification can be used to create water-based solutions that are much more potent than traditional cannabis oil products. This means that less material is needed to achieve the desired effect, and that the effects of consuming nano emulsified cannabinoids are felt more quickly.
There are a number of different methods that can be used to create nano emulsions, but the most common involve using high-powered ultrasonication or shear mixing. These methods can be used to create very small droplets that remain suspended in solution, without the need for surfactants or other additives.
The use of nano emulsions offers a number of potential benefits for both manufacturers and consumers of cannabis products. For manufacturers, it provides a way to create more potent products with fewer raw materials. And for consumers, it provides a more efficient way to absorb cannabinoids, which could lead to quicker and more dramatic results.
What is Bioavailability and why is it Important in Cannabis?
Bioavailability is a measure of how much of a given substance is available for the body to use. In the case of cannabis, bioavailability refers to the amount of THC or CBD that is available for the body to use when consuming cannabis products.
There are a number of factors that can impact the bioavailability of cannabis, including the method of consumption and the individual’s metabolism. For example, consuming cannabis via smoking or vaping provides a higher bioavailability than consuming it orally because the THC is absorbed more efficiently by the lungs.
Individuals who have a higher metabolism may also have a higher bioavailability as they are able to process and breakdown substances more quickly.
The importance of bioavailability in cannabis lies in its potential to affect the overall efficacy of the product. If a product has a low bioavailability, it means that less of the active ingredient (THC or CBD) will be available for the body to use, which could potentially result in less effective relief from symptoms.
Where the bioavailability go regular cannabis products is only around 20%, Green Revolution products made with nano are up to 85% bioavailable which means that your body is able to leverage far more of the product than with rival brands.
Benefits of using Nano Emulsification for Cannabis
Cannabis-infused nanoemulsions are becoming increasingly popular as a way to increase the bioavailability of cannabis in drinks and edibles. By breaking down the plant material into smaller particles, nanoemulsions make it easier for the body to absorb and utilize cannabinoids. This can lead to more potent and effective products, as well as reduced side effects.
We use nano in a broad range of our products and formulations. Popular products like Doozies, WildSide Shots MAX, and Wildside 12 oz beverages are all made with nano technology for faster onset and more pronounced effects.
Some of the potential benefits of using nanoemulsification for cannabis include:
Increased potency: Nanoemulsions can increase the amount of CBD or THC that is available for absorption by the body. This can result in a more potent product that is better able to relieve symptoms or produce psychoactive effects.
Reduced side effects: By increasing bioavailability, nanoemulsions may also reduce the amount of cannabinoids that are wasted or lost through first-pass metabolism. This could lead to fewer side effects such as fatigue or dizziness.
Improved stability: Cannabis nanoemulsions are more stable than traditional emulsions, meaning they are less likely to separate over time. This can help ensure that products maintain their potency and efficacy over time.
Greater flexibility: Nanoemulsions can be used in a variety of products, including beverages, edibles, topicals, and tinctures. They can also be designed to target specific cannabinoid receptors for maximum effect.
How Does Nano Emulsion Increase Bioavailability in Edibles?
It is difficult for the human body to absorb certain cannabinoids, especially when ingested. Nano emulsion can increase the bioavailability of cannabinoids in edibles by improving their ability to be dissolved and absorbed by the body.
Nano emulsion is a process that creates ultra-fine particles of oil that are suspended in water. This process can make it easier for the human body to absorb cannabinoids, as well as improve the taste and smell of cannabis products.
Some studies have shown that nano emulsion can increase the bioavailability of CBD by up to four times when compared to traditional methods of consuming CBD. This means that less CBD is needed to achieve the desired effects. Nano emulsion can also help to improve the efficacy of THC-based products.
While more research is needed, nano emulsions show great promise for increasing the bioavailability of cannabinoids in edibles. This could allow people to consume less cannabis while still achieving the desired effects. Nano emulsions could also make it easier for people to dose cannabis products accurately.
What Products are Best Suited for Nano Emulsion Processing?
The best products for nano emulsion processing are those that can be easily broken down into small particles. Nano emulsions are created by breaking down a product into extremely small droplets, so products that are already in liquid form or can be easily dissolved are ideal candidates. Cannabis drinks and edibles are particularly well-suited for nano emulsion processing because the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, is soluble in fat. This means that it can be easily included in a nano emulsion without the need for additional solvents.
Challenges with Using Nano for Cannabis
One of the main challenges with using nano for cannabis is that it can be difficult to control the size of the particles. If the particles are too small, they may not be effective. If the particles are too large, they may cause side effects. Another challenge is that nanoemulsions can be unstable and may break down over time. This means that they may not work as intended when they are consumed. Nanoencapsulation can be expensive and challenging to scale up for commercial production.
Conclusion
Nano-infused cannabis consumer products are revolutionizing the industry. By increasing cannabinoid bioavailability, Green Revolution nano enhanced products make it easier for users to experience desired effects at lower doses, and with fewer calories and fats than traditional edibles or drinks. In addition, nanoemulsions enable manufacturers to produce more shelf-stable edible products that have superior flavor profiles. As we continue to explore new technologies and learn more about nanoemulsion science in the realm of cannabis consumer goods, we can look forward to transforming our understanding of what cannabis edibles can be.
