The Chemistry of Cannabis Tinctures
When it comes to cannabis consumption methods, tinctures represent one of the most scientifically advanced delivery systems available in today’s market. At Blended Buds Cannabis, we believe in educating our customers about the technical aspects of their products.
Key Components of Tincture Absorption
Tinctures work through a process called sublingual absorption, which involves:
- Capillary blood vessel interaction
- Mucosal membrane penetration
- Rapid cannabinoid distribution
- Biological availability optimization
The Technical Process
The efficiency of tinctures relies heavily on their carrier oil composition. Most commonly, manufacturers use:
- MCT (Medium-Chain Triglyceride) oil
- Ethanol-based solutions
- Glycerin carriers
These carriers facilitate cannabinoid absorption by breaking down the compounds into sizes that can easily pass through cellular membranes. The process typically achieves bioavailability rates between 20-30%, significantly higher than traditional edible methods.
Temperature Stability
Proper storage plays a crucial role in maintaining tincture potency. The ideal storage temperature ranges between 15-20°C, with minimal light exposure. This ensures the stability of both cannabinoids and terpenes over time.
