Perfect Blend: Full Spectrum CBD + MCT Oil
Posted by Susan Shillue on 12th May 2018
Our newest product is our Full Spectrum Hemp Extract which combines our farm grown CBD extract with organic MCT oil.
What is MCT oil?
MCT stands for “medium chain triglycerides” which is a form of a fatty acid. The MCT oil comes from fractionated coconut oil and is organic and sustainably harvested. It is an easily digestible and beneficial fat. Unlike other foods, these fats are processed in the liver and provide long lasting energy that is easily absorbed by the body. MCT encourages the body to use fat for energy rather than for storage.
MCT is a great carrier oil for our CBD because cannabinoids are most effective when consumed with fat.
Sublingual?
Sublingual comes from the Latin word “under the tongue”. It refers to the glands located under your tongue and on your cheek that quickly diffuse the extract for fast absorption into the body.
The easiest way to consume our MCT CBD oil is to drop your dose under your tongue.
Other ways to use MCT Oil Hemp Extract…
Another benefit of hemp extract and mct oil is that it stays in liquid form when it’s exposed to lower temperatures, where as coconut oil would solidify. This is great because that means you can add it to things like smoothie or iced teas and coffee.
