What is Bioavailability?

Are you curious about the effects that cannabis can have on your body? If so, then understanding bioavailability is key! So what exactly is bioavailability when it comes to cannabis and how does it affect your end experience? At The Pottery LA dispensary, we’ve got all of the information you need to understand this important concept better.

In this blog post, we’ll explain what bioavailability means for cannabis and give examples of specific products that provide unique experiences thanks to their ability to deliver cannabinoids into the bloodstream efficiently. Read on for more insights about why understanding bioavailability helps shoppers get the most out of their purchase from our dispensary!

Why Bioavailability Matters

Bioavailability is an important concept to understand when consuming cannabis products. Put simply, bioavailability refers to how much of a substance gets absorbed into the bloodstream and can be used by the body. This varies from one product to another, depending on how it is ingested.

Cannabis bioavailability lets consumers know the rate at which they will experience the effects of their chosen product. For example, edibles often have a higher bioavailability than inhaling them because they enter the bloodstream directly, thus accelerating their effects. Ultimately, bioavailability has a big impact on one’s cannabis experience since it determines how quickly and intensely its effects will be felt—an important detail for any individual’s dosage decisions.

How Bioavailability Affects Cannabinoid Intake

When it comes to consuming cannabinoids, bioavailability of the method makes a world of difference. When bioavailability is high, the body is able to absorb more cannabinoids, meaning the user can achieve their desired results quicker and more effectively. When bioavailability is low, a higher amount of product may be needed to reach the same effects, rendering a less economical option. By understanding bioavailability, consumers can determine which methods are right for them and save time and money in pursuit of their perfect cannabis experience.

Different Methods for Increasing Bioavailability

Did you know that bioavailability is a determining factor in the effectiveness of cannabis-based treatments? If you don’t maximize bioavailability, your body won’t absorb key components of cannabis when it’s ingested. To ensure they get the most out of their treatments, some patients turn to different methods – such as heating up cannabis oil or adding an edible or tincture – to increase bioavailability. 

Here’s where to start.

Inhalation

Inhalation is the most popular method for consuming cannabis, with results that can be felt almost immediately. This fast bioavailability is one of its biggest advantages, but also poses some of its own risks as quick and intense highs can lead to confusion or anxiety if dosage isn’t properly monitored. If you’re considering inhalation, do your research to find out more information on recommended doses and methodology, to ensure successful and comfortable experiences!

Sublingual

Sublingual delivery of cannabis is a discreet and convenient way to enjoy cannabionoids. The bioavailability provided by sublingual absorption offers an effective dose, as the cannabinoids bypass the digestive system and enter straight into the bloodstream. This differs from traditional ingestion products, which are often metabolized before they reach their intended destination in the body. With sublingual delivery, individuals experience bioavailable effects more quickly and accurately, avoiding common pitfalls of THC doses on edibles that can be difficult to measure.

Topical

The power of topicals is astounding. Not only do topicals provide targeted relief locally, but they also offer bioavailability without any psychoactive effects. This makes them an ideal option for those who seek the medicinal benefits of cannabis, but don’t necessarily want to experience an altered state of mind. Topicals can provide localized relief for a variety of ailments, from aches and pains to inflammation, insomnia, and even anxiety/stress.

Additionally, many topical products are customizable so you can adjust it to your desired potency depending on the severity of the condition being treated or managed. When used with proper guidance from your local dispensary or certified healthcare provider, topicals can be just as powerful as traditional methods of medication!

Edibles/Drinks

If you’re looking to try something new, edibles and drinks are the way to go! While the bioavailability of these types of cannabis consumption can vary, they offer an exciting and innovative way to reap the benefits of cannabinoids. Fun flavors and parent-friendly packaging can give adults the perfect excuse for an evening treat.

Plus, if you prefer to keep your cannabis use discreet and avoid any odors, edibles and drinks are also a great option. We have a wide selection of products at The Pottery that are sure to get your taste buds tingling, so come on down and see what exciting possibilities await!

Final Thoughts

Did you know that bioavailability can have a huge impact on how much of the beneficial compounds in cannabis products are actually absorbed by your body? When bioavailability, or the body’s ability to break down and process active cannabis compounds, is low, only a small amount of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD get absorbed into the blood stream.

To maximize bioavailability, many people opt for more readily absorbable forms of cannabis consumption like inhaling instead of eating it. Whether you’re using edibles, tinctures, capsules or e-liquids – taking simple measures to increase bioavailability can help you reap more of cannabis’ therapeutic benefits. At the Pottery – LA’s premier cannabis dispensary – we strive to educate our customers on all aspects of bioavailability-enhanced consumption so they can get the most out of their products.

Final Thoughts

At The Pottery, we believe that bioavailability is one of the most critical components of a great cannabis experience. In fact, bioavailability can be used to optimize the effects you get from cannabis, no matter what form it comes in. Whether you use cannabis edibles, inhalables or topicals, bioavailability can help ensure that your body absorbs and processes the cannabinoids for optimal benefits.

It’s also important to note that different forms of bioavailable cannabis can provide a quicker onset and more consistent effects as well. But no matter what type of cannabis product you’re using, make sure to take bioavailability into consideration – your body will thank you!

Leveraging the power of Bioavailability can help you to get more out of your cannabis products and optimize your consuming experience. It’s important to remember, however, that not all methods of consuming cannabis will work the same for everyone. Finding what works best for you is a process that often involves experimenting with different types of products and different delivery methods. Everyone responds differently to cannabis, so take the time to familiarize yourself with different forms of bioavailability and choose the one that gives you the results you’re seeking.

Ultimately, bioavailability is a powerful tool for any cannabis consumer to use in order to better understand their body and how it interacts with cannabis products – something that can be extremely beneficial when exploring the world of the Pottery.
