Bioavailability : MCT Coconut Oil and CBD Bioavailability

Jul 4, 2024 | Canna-Guide

Ever wondered why some CBD products seem to work better than others? The answer might lie in a surprising ingredient: MCT coconut oil. This blog post dives into the science behind MCT oil and how it unlocks the full potential of CBD in your body.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. While it holds immense therapeutic potential, its effectiveness hinges on how well your body absorbs it. Here’s the catch: CBD is fat-soluble, meaning it dissolves best in fats. This poses a challenge because our bodies primarily absorb water-soluble substances.

This is where MCT coconut oil steps in. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat found in coconut oil. Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) found in most oils, MCTs are smaller and easier for the body to break down. They bypass the typical digestive process and are directly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Here’s how MCT oil enhances CBD bioavailability:

Increased Solubility: MCT oil provides a fat-soluble environment for CBD, allowing it to readily dissolve and become more bioavailable.
Faster Absorption: Because MCTs don’t require extensive digestion, they deliver CBD to the bloodstream quicker, leading to a faster onset of effects.
Enhanced Delivery: MCT oil helps transport CBD throughout the body, ensuring it reaches target tissues more effectively.
