Hemp oil with CBD is produced by the most suitable extraction method - using alcohol. We use the alcohol method for its ability to extract from the plant all types of cannabinoids and other beneficial substances such as amino acids, flavonoids and others. Also for its purity and the most natural way to obtain herbaceous substances. Distillation is a method known from antiquity, for the body known and suitable.
CBD oil - the most effective extraction with alcohol
Write a comment
Given the greater bioavailability and overall quality, we decided to return to alcohol distillation (extraction). And here are some simple reasons why we believe that we offer our customers the best CBD oil.
CBD oil – triple distillation
Thanks to the gentle triple distillation (at different pressures, temperatures and times), the distillate retains all the important components and at the same time gets rid of the ballast which has a negative effect on the resulting taste. The CBD drops made in this way taste delicious and retain all the ingredients that make the resulting product a true „full spectrum“ product.Alcohol extraction is much better than any other extraction method because it extracts the largest amount of substances compared to any other solvent. When it comes to maintaining the potential of the whole plant while preserving the original proportions of the substances contained in the plant, alcohol is the only suitable solvent.
Alcohol extracts more substances from the plant than CO2. For example, substances such as amino acids, flavonoids, and others are not soluble in CO2. Alcohol can dissolve all types of cannabinoids. The alcohol extract is cleaner, its appearance is clearer.
The difference between alcohol and CO2 extraction
So here we come to the most important part. If the CO2 extraction is not done properly, it removes terpenes (essential oils) from the plant and leaves only the compounds (THC, CBD). Therefore, in order to achieve maximum therapeutic effects, it is important for plants to reach the terpenes and cannabinoids.
Lavender would not be lavender if the terpene linalool were removed. And so does it with hemp.
Alcohol extraction of hemp has been done for centuries. Cannabinoids have excellent solubility in lower alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, provided that the water content of the alcohol is low.
Absorption of CBD
Since our body is 70 % water, we must first digest all the oils and other substances we receive using acids and enzymes. Only then will they become active.
The secondary but very important product of alcohol extraction is, therefore, the formation of esters. Esters are formed when organic plant acids (eg, CBD and other acid forms of cannabinoids) react with alcohol - hence in alcohol extraction. Carboxylic acid (COOH), contained in various more complex acids, is esterified during extraction, making it more soluble in water. The resulting CBD alcohol extract is thus more absorbable – more bioavailable.
Benefits of alcohol extraction:
- Greater bioavailability for the human body
- Clearer look
- Better product taste
- Full-spectrum of cannabinoids
- Alcohol extracts more substances from the plant than CO2 (eg, amino acids, flavonoids that are not soluble in CO2)
In conclusion, we want to say that we decided on the alcohol extraction because we are 100% convinced of its qualities. Alcohol can “choose” the most substances compared to any other solvent, which ensures maximum bioavailability to the end product and thus a greater effect in the body.
