What is CBD with CBDa? Is CBD Right For Me? Start Here!

Posted on June 27th, 2023
What is CBD? Here in our Tanasi family, weâve been studying, researching, buying, and using this compound for many years. In fact, as soon as federal rules allowed us to, we dove into everything related to cannabinoids (the name for chemical compounds in hemp), along with CBD and industrial hemp. (Just to clarify, industrial hemp is simply a variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant thatâs been cultivated for a low concentration of THC. And that’s the psychoactive extract found in concentrations above 0.3% in marijuana plants.)
We know, however, that not everyone is equally familiar with this hemp extract. Sure, youâve probably heard plenty of information in the news, or from friends, but until you buy it for your own use, you canât really understand its effect. Now, with that being said, we also understand that it can be hard to choose the brand or form of CBD with which to begin your cannabidiol journey. Thatâs something we get, and itâs why weâve come up with your ultimate solution: Four of Tanasiâs top patent-pending, 1:1 CBD + CBDa formulated products, bundled together for beginners like you to try. Letâs dive in and take a look at what you get when you purchase this beginners’ batch!
Whatâs Included?
In our online store, we sell cannabidiol in many different forms. While they all include our Tanasi Hemp Extract Formulation, including a 1:1 ratio of CBD to CBDa that’s proven to be 2X more effective than CBD alon, each is a little different. We carry water soluble CBD + CBDa; cannabidiol tinctures; beauty serums; other topicals like muscle rubs, sun relief lotions, salves and lotions; and digestible, including hemp-extract capsules and CBD + CBD gummies.
Now, for our beginner’s bundle, we’ve included three of our most popular formulations: our 150 mg CBD + CBDa salve; our 1200mg CBD + CBDa tincture; and our 450mg CBD + CBDa gummies. But, we want you to get a better picture of a wider range of our products. So, for that reason, we’ll highlight other products in this post as well, to give you an opportunity to discover which form of CBD + CBDa suits your personal preference.
If youâre ready to dive right in and make that purchaseâŚawesome! But if you need a bit more information, weâve got you covered, donât worry. Keep reading for an in-depth explanation of what goes into each form or delivery method of our Tanasi Hemp Extract CBD Formula that we produce.
Water Soluble CBD Drink Concentrate
As youâd expect from the name, CBD oil in its original state doesn’t mix well with water. Thatâs just a basic rule of science! We know, however, that adding it to your morning coffee, water bottle or juice is a super convenient way to get your daily doses.
And thereâs something else we know, tooâour bodies are mostly made of water. So, creating water-soluble CBD increases the bioavailability of the cannabinoid. (This just means your body can absorb more of the active ingredients in each dose. And it also means you use less of your product to get the same effect, which can translate to serious savings.)
Given all these facts, our Tanasi team (and partners) went to work on making our CBDa + CBD formulation water-soluble. At the point of their extraction from the Cannabis plant, molecules are isolated. And the CBD to create our formula into a drink concentrate that easily dissolves in water starts out as CBDA. We end up with the Tanasi Hemp Extract Formula (CBDA and CBD in equal parts) suspended in propylene glycol (PG). Just add one or more drops (Note: the miligram per drop information is included on your product packaging along with suggested use info) of Water Soluble CBD to your favorite beverage and drink up!
CBD Oil Tinctures
This is another way we bring CBDa and CBD oil to you: in tincture form. Our full-spectrum oil tincture comes in a bottle, with a dosing dropper. Inside, youâll find our MCT oil, sunflower oil, and Tanasiâs proprietary hemp-extract CBDA/CBD formula.
To get started with the Tanasi 1200mg CBDA/CBD tincture, you determine your optimal dose, based on your weight and desired effect: mild, moderate or strong. As beginners, we highly recommend starting with a low dose. From there, you can gradually work your way up, until you achieve that desired effect.
Next, fill your dropper and place your desired amount beneath your tongue. Hold in place for two minutes before you swallow, and let your adventure with tinctures begin. One quick note on our Tanasi tincture: because our CBD is full-spectrum, it includes terpenes, which are like the Cannabis Sativa L. (hemp) plant’s flavonoids (smell or taste). These lend a unique and natural scent and flavor to our oil tincture.
