The most annoying and difficult aspects of CBD oils is how they slip into your daily routine, how effective they are and the taste. All of these things are mostly rendered null with this new technology.
If you haven't heard of Water-soluble CBD then stay tuned - we're going to explain what it is, why we're so excited by it and what brands we recommend you buy from. Let's get into it:
What is Water-soluble CBD?
Water-soluble CBD is exactly what it sounds like - CBD that can dissolve with water. We'll try to explain why this is so useful.
When CBD is extracted from the plant via a process like C02 extraction, it is an oil. Like any oil, it is hydrophobic, meaning it will not dissolve in water.
The issue here is that absorption is much harder when consuming an oil, with some sources reporting that as much as 96% of the CBD is lost when you consume it as an oil.
This is why consuming water soluble liquids and powders is so useful - you'll have higher bio-availability and you'll feel the impact of the product faster.
We actually first heard about technology like this when we stumbled across the Infused By Epic website. They're a brand owned by Smart CBD Solutions, LLC, a company based in Santa Barbara, CA. Their technology can make isolate and distillate extracts into a water-soluble liquid or powder. The liquid is Nano-encapsulated to a particle size of fewer than 50 nanometers, and the powder is a microparticle. This allows for really effective absorption, allowing you to get more from your CBD. As explained on the Infused By Epic website:
One of the main problems with CBD and other cannabinoids is that they are lipophilic (fat-soluble - like Liposomal CBD). Our technology addresses this issue by ensuring that cannabinoids and other nutraceuticals are converted to a water soluble “colloidal suspension”. These suspensions enhance the delivery of bioactive molecules and eliminate malabsorption.
The above paragraph really nicely outlines what makes this technology so formidable and exciting, definitely check out their website for more information.
Benefits of Water Soluble CBD
There are many benefits to drinking CBD, and most of them are about the conviviality of it. Water-soluble CBD is is easy to add to your routine that it is often hard to forget. Just add it to tea, water or even coffee for a CBD boost at any point.
Some water-soluble CBD is pretty tasty too.
Most brands of water-soluble CBD is up to 10x more bioavailable than standard CBD oil which is a huge plus. Although - water-soluble CBD is not quite as effective as Liposomal CBD.
What brands can you buy Water-soluble CBD from?
There are a handful of UK brands selling Water-soluble CBD, but sadly it is yet to really pick up pace in our country. All of the main brands use the same supplier which is the Dutch Healing Company. While they offer a great product, the UK suffers from a lack of diversity when it comes to water-soluble CBD.
Here are a few brands that sell water-soluble CBD:
Hemp Community Water Soluble Liposomal CBD
Flora Fusion
Brown's CBD
CBD One
But we'll definitely be adding more options as we find them. If you're based in the US then you've got way more options!
Mee CBD
What we love about the Mee CBD water-soluble powder is how easy it is to use, dose and carry about. You simply need a sachet and you have an instant CBD infused drink.
The technology is pretty cool and the packaging is very high quality. We can see why this is very popular.
Hemp Community
This is Green Gold. A very well deserving inclusion on our list of the best water-soluble CBD products in the UK. This is a 1500mg water-soluble Liposomal CBD which gets to work right away.

In Conclusion
We're definitely excited by the technology being employed by companies like Infused By Epic, and we'll be keeping an eye on water-soluble CBD products over the coming months so we can provide some more specific recommendations.
