If you have learnt what CBD oil can do for your health and wellness but you are confused by the conflicting information out there regarding whether you should or shouldn’t consume that CBD oil with your food, read the following information and learn why it is helpful to consume CBD oil with your meals.
How CBD Oil is Digested
When you take CBD oil orally, the substance goes into your stomach and it is digested before being absorbed in the small intestine. The portal vein is responsible for moving this CBD from the small intestine to the liver.
Once in the liver, enzymes act on the CBD oil and break it into different metabolites. Many of those metabolites aren’t useful to the body, so they are immediately excreted.
This process reduces the amount of CBD that is available to be used by your body. This process is called the first pass metabolism, and it describes how the bioavailability of substances is reduced by the process of digestion and absorption.
The Role of Meals in Increasing Bioavailability
When you consume CBD oil with certain food items, the reduction in bioavailability is reduced, thereby ensuring that more of the CBD is available to interact with your body and deliver the effects that you desire, such as pain relief and better quality sleep.
The best types of food that can help in increasing the bioavailability of CBD are fatty acids. CBD binds onto those fatty acids in order to bypass the first pass metabolism. The liver metabolizes the fatty acids in order to produce energy for the body.
In that process, the CBD which is bound to the fatty acids also gets a chance to be circulated around the body as the energy generated is dispatched to the tissues of the body. In this way, you get to enjoy the benefits of the CBD that is moving around your body to fix whatever may not be in balance.
You may be wondering what kinds of foods will give you these fatty acids that increase the bioavailability of CBD. The best foods include avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, eggs, meat, fish, soybean oil, all nuts and so many other similar fatty foods.
Some manufacturers have realized how important fatty acids are to the bioavailability of CBD and other cannabinoids. Consequently, they have come up with formulations that already contain those fatty acids. Finding such a product may therefore save you from having to wait until you have a meal in order to take your dose of CBD oil.
