Water Solubility and Bioavalability

How to solve for low bioavailability of oil in the human body

Approximately 60% of the human body’s weight consists of water, which is why the bioavailability or absorption of oils is typically limited to a range of 5% to 10%. This limitation arises from the fact that oil and water do not readily mix. Water exhibits strong surface tension, a force that arises from the attraction between surface particles and the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize the surface area of the liquid.     
 

Surfactants and bioavailability

Revolutionizing cannabinoid delivery

There are several methods involving microtechnology that manufacturers can use to make CBD water-soluble or dispersible. The most common methods involve breaking down the large CBD oil droplets into smaller droplets using the process of ultrasonic cavitation, or high-pressure homogenization.    
 
Bioavailability and Water

Emulsifier Solutions

The creation of micelles

The process begins with dissolving CBD isolate or distillate along with a carrier oil and a low HLB emulsifier to form the oil phase. Simultaneously, the water phase, containing water, preservatives, and a high HLB emulsifier, is prepared. Each phase is meticulously crafted with distinct emulsifiers to attain the precise Hydrophilicity-Lipophilicity Balance (HLB) essential for stabilizing the given combination of oils. Subsequently, the two phases are combined and emulsified to achieve the desired product stability.

Micelle

Cationic monomer

When making oil-in-water emulsions, the emulsifiers self organize into micelles that are organized in such a way that the hydrophobic (water hating) tails of the emulsifiers are pointed towards the oil droplets in the core of the micelle, and hydrophilic (water loving) heads are pointing outwards towards the surrounding water. The smaller the micelles, the smaller the oil droplet in the core, the higher is the bioavailability/absorption of that oil droplet in the body.

Here is a list of frequently asked questions answered by our experts

Mile High Labs’ water soluble microemulsion is a technology that significantly increases cannabinoid absorption in the bloodstream through the small intestine epithelial cell membrane.
 
Here’s how it works:
  • Formation of micelles that protect the lipid cannabinoids and allow for sable oil droplets encapsulated into the micelles that have sizes ranging from just above 100nm to about 350nm.
  • This increases absorption because in order to absorb lipids/oils the body produces enzymes that break down giant oil droplets into smaller ones and encapsulates them into micelles, which takes time and energy and in the end, only 4%-5% of the oil gets absorbed. But if the oil is ingested already micellized, the body does not need to do all that work, so the absorption happens much faster and more of the oil gets absorbed.

Microemulsion Pros

  • Higher lipid payload (up to 20%)
  • Better Organoleptics
  • Safer from the liver

Microemulsion Cons

  • Opaque
  • Less bioavailable than the nano-emulsion
  • Slightly less stable than the nano-emulsion

Nano-Emulsion Pros

  • Transparent/Translucent
  • High bioavailability
  • Superb stability

Nano-Emulsion Cons

  • Lower lipid payload (1%-10%)
  • Very bitter taste
  • Liver toxicity risk in case of overdose depending on the lipid

Mile High Labs’ 20%  CBD water soluble liquid contains 200,000mg/L or 200mg/mL. 

Typical 5%  water soluble liquid contains 50,000mg/L or 50mg/mL. In comparison the concentration of 10% or 20% will drastically decrease the overall cost for end product formulation. 

Can liners are essential in CBD-infused beverages to ensure the stability and potency of the product. Without a proper liner, CBD can adhere to the sides of the can, reducing its effectiveness and leading to an inconsistent dosage. Additionally, high-quality can liners help maintain the taste and texture of the beverage by preventing CBD from separating and settling. This ensures that each sip provides the intended benefits and a consistent experience for consumers.

CBD oil by itself is very bitter and the smaller its droplet size the more bitter it becomes, simply because it is more bioavailable. This means optimizing the droplet size to be not too large (to avoid absorption issues), but also not too small (to avoid organoleptic issues).

There are several methods involving nanotechnology that manufacturers can use to make CBD water-soluble or dispersible. The most common methods involve breaking down the large CBD oil droplets into smaller droplets using the process of ultrasonic cavitation, or high-pressure homogenization.

Water-solubility refers to the ability of a substance to be dispersed in water. CBD is an oil. This can create problems when it comes to its bioavailability, or the degree to which it can be absorbed and used by the body, or in how it mixes into or stays in a consistent solution within a beverage. The reason for that is because 60%-70% of the human body is made of water, or is hydrophilic, hence water-soluble compounds are easily absorbed in the body.
