The Most Popular and Effective CBD + CBDa Delivery Methods
Posted on March 17th, 2023
There are many different CBD + CBDa delivery methods. And we’re here to help you choose the best one for your needs! Remember, cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid compound found in hemp plants. (Legally, these contain no more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC). And cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) is its acidic precursor. We include both compounds in our Tanasi hemp-extracts, using our research-backed, patent-pending formulation that’s 2x more effective than products containing CBD alone.
It can be overwhelming to choose the right product for your needs. After finding a quality brand like Tanasi, the next step is choosing your best product. Keep reading to learn about the differences between different CBD + CBDa delivery methods. That way, you can make a more informed decision before your next purchase.
CBD + CBDa Delivery Methods
Fortunately, there are a variety of ways in which you can consume our unique formulation of CBD + CBDa, along with many other hemp compounds, including terpenes, flavanoids and other cannabinoids. And, since each one has a different mechanism, you can find the perfect one for you. Remember, metabolic rate determines your CBD + CBDa absorption speed. Since that differs from person to person, it can influence the way your chosen delivery method works.
Here are some of the most popular CBD + CBDa delivery methods we offer at Tanasi.com:
1. Ingestibles 
Want to enjoy CBD + CBDa the same way you do with other supplements and vitamins? Ingestion is your perfect solution! Oral ingestion means consuming CBD + CBDa edibles, such as our flavorful gummies, or swallowing flavorless options like our CBD + CBDa softgels. Basically, it’s a fancy way of referring to anything that you chew or swallow. (The exception to this rule, of course, is tinctures, but we’ll get to that delivery method in a minute.)
Ingestible CBD products include:
– CBD + CBDa drinks infused with our water-soluble drink concentrate
— CBD + CBDa softgels, with or without the added bonus of fish oil
Essentially, CBDa + CBD edibles are products that must first pass through your digestive system before hitting your bloodstream. They go through the digestive tract and to the liver before your body starts breaking down or absorbing the cannabidiol.
It generally takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes or longer to feel the effects of our CBD + CBDa edibles. Furthermore, you only absorb about 30 percent of the available CBD.
While it might take longer for the effects of hemo-extracted edibles to kick in, they generally last the longest. (Between 4 and 6 hours, as the CBD + CBDa releases slowly through the body.) These edibles also have other advantages, such as discretion and, most of the time, a taste that is more palatable than the earthy, weedy natural taste of hemp.
2. CBD + CBDa Delivery Methods: Sublinguals
Sublingual dosing of CBD + CBDa is usually done with a tincture. When you use our Tanasi tinctures, you hold your dose under your tongue for up to 90 seconds. This allows the mucus membranes in the mouth to absorb its active ingredients, giving the active ingredients quick access to the bloodstream.
Our CBD + CBDa sublingual products include tinctures of various dose strengths, from our regular line and our GOLD line of premium products. Additionally, we recently added a blueberry-flavored Tanasi GOLD tincture to give you even more tasty ways to try our patent-plending blend of CBD + CBDa!
This delivery method involves releasing a dropper full of CBD + CBDa directly under the tongue, bypassing the digestive system and directly entering the bloodstream.
Sublingual absorption rates vary; they can be anywhere from 20 to 35 percent depending on the strength of the product used among other factors. The effects of sublingual administration are usually felt within minutes. Furthermore, they last longer, i.e. between 4 and 6 hours.
Sublingual dosing can be an excellent way to get CBD + CBDa into the bloodstream relatively quickly. It’s especially effective if you want fast results without inhalation. It is also quite easy to work out the proper dosage. Many people enjoy this method of taking CBD + CBDa, but our unflavored products might have a “weedier” taste.
3. Topicals
When it comes to CBD + CBDa delivery methods, topical applications mean you applying the product directly to your skin in targeted areas.
Our CBD + CBDa topical products include lotions, salves, a muscle relief rub, sun recovery lotion and our brand-new beauty product, an anti-aging facial serum for day and night!
With topical application your skin absorbs CBD + CBDa molecules, targeting surface-level issues for localized results.
The concentration of CBD + CBDa in your product, along with your skin condition are just some of the factors that affect the time it will take for you to feel effects. Still, it generally takes about 1 hour to feel the effects of our topicals. The advantage of using CBD + CBDa topicals is that they can be applied directly to the area where they are needed/
But topicals also tend to have some of the lowest absorption rates, which means that even a product with a higher concentration may not be as effective.
Which CBD + CBDa Delivery Methods Should You Choose?
The decision will ultimately be up to you. There’s no ideal way of taking CBD + CBDa that works for everyone. Some experimentation might be necessary for you to identify the methods that best fit your needs. Keep in mind, however, that you aren’t necessarily obligated to use just one method. It is common for users to regularly use multiple forms of CBD + CBDa products. Staggering or cycling through different methods can also be a viable option for you.
