Bioavailability refers to the amount of a substance that gets absorbed into your bloodstream, and it’s different for each type of hemp product. For personal hemp vapes, bioavailability is high, while tinctures and edibles, like hemp gummies, are considerably lower. But just how much lower? And do the effects from each type of hemp product last for the same amount of time?
In this article, we’ll dispel the mysteries around bioavailability and hemp products, specifically fruit-flavored hemp gummies. We’ll show you how long it takes to feel these effects and how long their wellness-boosting benefits last. And at the end, we’ll show you a few of our fan-favorite hemp-based gummies, made with high-quality hemp extract, all-natural ingredients, and delicious fruit flavors. But first, let’s unmask the mysteries surrounding bioavailability—a concept many newcomers might be unfamiliar with.
Let’s shift our focus from hemp extract to a warm cup of coffee. Let’s say you and your friend order the same coffee and drink it at the same pace. You may not feel very energized from it, but your friend is bouncing around the room, wide-eyed and rambling. But when the heightened alertness does affect you, it may carry you well past the time your friend has already succumbed to a caffeine crash. This difference in effects and timeline for effects is caused by bioavailability: the amount of a substance that absorbs into your bloodstream. And everyone has unique factors that affect this.
In terms of bioavailability, hemp extract is no different from caffeine. When adults take a hemp product, the effects set in differently for different people. This difference comes down to your body’s unique composition, like your height, weight, and tolerance for hemp’s wellness-boosting compounds. The more often you take a hemp product, the more you’ll need to take to enjoy the same effects as a total newbie.
When it comes to bioavailability, the important thing to consider is the type of hemp product you choose. Since each one either enters or bypasses your digestive tract, these products will have vastly different absorption rates. Let’s see just what that means for hemp gummies.
The type of hemp product that has the highest bioavailability is hemp vape pens. That’s because these products deliver hemp’s compounds into your bloodstream through your lungs, evading the crucible that is your digestive system entirely. This path leads to a pretty immediate effect. But the major drawback to these pens is that their effects don’t last nearly as long as those from hemp gummies.
Now, hemp tinctures also have a moderately high bioavailability. When you place these tincture drops under your tongue and keep them there for 60 seconds, the capillaries in your mouth absorb hemp’s compounds and usher them into your bloodstream—a pretty fast hand-off. This is why effects from tinctures can set in after just a few minutes. But they only last for a few hours.
Hemp gummies, on the other hand, are the only hemp product that delivers sustained wellness-boosting benefits for up to eight hours. These fruit-flavored chews break apart in your digestive tract, which is marked by hurdles that affect a gummy’s bioavailability. This is also why the effects from gummies take longer to set in. But once they do, they linger for the longest of any hemp product, making them a go-to for adults who want effects during the night or workday.
Here’s a helpful graph to break all that down.
*This timeline depends on your body’s unique bioavailability factors.
If you’re on the hunt for hemp gummies’ long-lasting effects, here are a few things to consider before your first order.
You always want to seek out products made with organic hemp from non-GMO, pesticide-free farms. Hemp is a natural bioaccumulator. This means it soaks up just about every mineral, nutrient, and toxin from its surrounding soil. If the plant is grown around heavy metals and harmful farming chemicals, there’s a high likelihood that these toxins will seep into the finished product.
This is why it’s crucial to check a product’s lab tests. These tests act kind of like a report card for a brand. They show each and every compound nestled inside their gummies. You can find our third-party lab tests by scanning the QR code on our product’s packaging.
But what’s the good of having high-quality, all-natural hemp extract if you tag along artificial ingredients and flavorings? In our suite of gummies, we exclusively use vegan, all-natural ingredients backed by third-party lab tests. These ingredients are meant to complement hemp’s naturally calming, soothing effects, while adding a mouthwatering, all-natural fruit flavor.
After you take a gummy, sit back, relax, and wait up to two hours. Depending on your body composition and natural bioavailability factors, the effects from this gummy can take around 30 minutes to two hours to set in. But, once they do, these effects can last for six to eight hours. So, you can take a Hemp Gummy With Melatonin for Sleep just before and enjoy its relaxing effects all night. Or, our Hemp Gummies for Focus & Energy can supply you with enhanced alertness for most of the workday—they’re best suited to help you crawl out of the midday slump.
Now, there are two different types of hemp gummies: ones that come solely with hemp extract and others that bring a few natural ingredients along for the ride.
Our Original Mixed Berry Hemp Gummies and our Mixed Berry Full Spectrum Hemp Gummies both carry natural berry flavors, pectin, and hemp extract—that’s it. These two formulas deliver a true-to-form hemp experience that calms your mind and soothes your soul.
The major difference between these two is the type of hemp extract used. Our Original Mixed Berry Hemp Gummies use a broad spectrum extract that doesn’t offer hemp’s full range of wellness benefits, specifically its deep blissful “chill.” If you’d like to enjoy that deep blissful “chill,” along with hemp’s total mind-body effects, our Mixed Berry Full Spectrum Hemp Gummies are definitely the way to go.
Now, we also formulate our hemp gummies with additional ingredients, like minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, to imbue your day with a comprehensive wellness boost. Take our Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies, for instance. These gummies sport 1000mg of apple cider vinegar each, plus antioxidant-rich pomegranate, to deliver a one-two wellness punch that takes hemp’s effects to the next level. Or, our Hemp Mushroom Gummies for Wellness; these chews use an array of adaptogenic and nootropic mushrooms to fortify your physical and mental wellness. Plus, while hemp and mushrooms sound like a pretty funky combo, we’ve given these gummies a tasty black cherry flavor to pamper your tastebuds.
There’s a reason so many people have made hemp products a part of their wellness routine: they have a wealth of benefits. This article is only scratching the surface. If you’re new to hemp gummies, it’s important to understand how they’re absorbed into your body. Knowing this will help better understand what you’re feeling and gauge how well the product is working. This means understanding bioavailability.
We hope this article has helped you better understand hemp gummies and their relationship with bioavailability. We wish you all the best on your wellness journey.
