What Is CBD Water, and Should You Drink It?
Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a popular product that has garnered increasing attention over the past few years.
Health shops have begun carrying CBD-infused capsules, gummies, vapes, and more.
CBD water has also become widely available recently, drawing praise and criticism.
What is CBD water?
CBD is a compound found in marijuana that has been associated with many health benefits. CBD-infused water is now available, alongside an array of other CBD products, including oils, gummies, and capsules.
CBD water contains minimal amounts of CBD
CBD water usually contains low doses of CBD. Many brands claim to use nanotechnology to increase absorption, but it’s unclear whether this it’s effective.
Light and air degrade CBD
Light and air can cause CBD to break down, negating its potential health benefits. CBD water is often sold in clear bottles, so the CBD inside may have already broken down significantly by the time you drink it.
CBD water is expensive
CBD water is more expensive than other forms of CBD, including capsules, gummies, vapes, and creams.
Should you drink CBD water?
CBD may offer various benefits, but CBD water contains minimal amounts.
Also, it’s more expensive and likely less effective than most other CBD products.
In fact, given that this compound loses its medicinal properties when exposed to air or light, CBD water is unlikely to provide any benefits at all.
It’s best to stick to other CBD products to take advantage of its medicinal properties.
CBD oil, capsules, gummies, and other edibles that come in dark-colored bottles are convenient and more cost-effective alternatives to CBD water.
