These more complete products are often referred to as “full spectrum” and can be presented in capsules, tincture, or topical products. Full-spectrum CBD products with CBDA contribute to the entourage effect, which refers to the natural interaction of these botanical ingredients when consumed together. CBDA is a pure, clean, raw cannabinoid that shows greater bioavailability than CBD, meaning that more of the compound reaches the bloodstream faster. Bioavailability is the amount of substance that enters the bloodstream when it is introduced into the body to produce an active effect.
CBDA is increasingly gaining recognition for the untapped potential it contains, and many experts project that it will become the next big thing when it comes to naturally supporting the body and mind with cannabinoids. Cold-pressed CBDA is a pure, raw cannabis extract, full of all the natural elements contained in the plant, including the vitamins, minerals, waxes and beneficial fats that contribute to its overall effectiveness. CBDA is structurally different from CBD, and to preserve the carboxyl group that makes it unique, meticulous extraction processes must be implemented. While all cannabinoids are found naturally in cannabis, CBDA could be thought of as a cannabinoid compound in the state desired by nature.
While research on CBDA is still in its early stages, reports have shown that CBDA could have many therapeutic benefits. The increased bioavailability and greater binding affinity of CBDA to various receptors are said to be responsible for the potential benefits contained in the cannabinoid. While extraction methods such as CO2 and ethanol, which are commonly used to extract CBD, can be used to extract CBDA, the best method for preserving the molecular structure of the cannabinoid is crude, cold-pressed extraction. CBDA has also been shown to contain a significantly higher binding affinity than CBD to the 5HT1A (serotonin) receptors in the body and brain.
This cold pressing method is favorable for CBDA, since it does not involve the use of heat or solvents that would otherwise destroy its molecular structure. Full-spectrum CBD is derived from hemp and contains many cannabinoids in addition to CBD, including CBDA, along with other elements from the hemp plant, including natural terpenes, essential vitamins, fatty acids, proteins and more. Earlier this year, a new study by researchers at Oregon State University suggested that CBDA and CBGA could be a new method of preventing coronavirus. Tay's hemp oil is pure, raw, and packed with CBDA and other cannabinoids, just as nature intended.
