Foods that Boost CBD Absorption

With your wellness in mind, our CBD oil is emulsified into nanoparticles that are more easily absorbed by your body. This means you need less CBD to feel more benefits.

CBD absorption could go even further with high-fat foods. Researchers at the University of Minnesota discovered that consuming CBD orally with high-fat foods can increase CBD by 4x in the body to 14x in the bloodstream! The researchers studied epilepsy patients who fasted vs. those who ate a high fat meal with CBD capsules, and they discovered “the fat content of a meal can lead to significant increases in [concentration levels in the body] and can account for variability in bioavailability.”

Healthy high-fat foods include:

  • Avocados (which boosts the absorption of essential nutrients like beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and vitamin A too!)

  • Dark chocolate

  • Fatty fish like salmon, albacore tuna, and sardines

  • Nuts, especially walnuts (an amazing source of omega-3 fatty acids), almonds, and pistachios

  • Seeds like hemp (which contains over 30% fat made of omega-6 and omega-3), chia, flax, sunflower, and pumpkin

  • Healthy oils, like extra virgin olive oil, sesame, coconut and MCT

Enjoy these foods as a delicious accompaniment to our CBD vape pens and mints and feel the wellness!
