How CBD Nanoemulsion Could Highly Optimize Quickly Growing CBD-Infused Products

Cannabis

A decade ago, almost nobody had heard of CBD aside from a handful of researchers. Today it's a different story. The expanding CBD market is estimated to grow at an explosive rate – from $5 billion in 2019 to $23.7 billion by 2023. The infused beverages sub-market is expected to grow at for several years to come. Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies are poised to become dominant players in the CBD-Infused market. Major medical discoveries are triggering an eruption of new products in consumer packaged goods (CPG) – reaching millions of consumers across different demographics – bringing CBD into the mainstream. Among products that new and existing customers consider trying, accessible forms such as edibles and beverages rank the highest. When CBD is extracted from the plant, it takes an oil-based form. Like any oil it is hydrophobic, meaning it will not dissolve in water. Since our bodies are made of 60% water, CBD oil resists absorption into the bloodstream. The current low levels of CBD bioavailability are putting pressure on the cannabis industry to find a solution for these products. Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), Cronos Group Inc.  (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON), The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE: BOSS) (OTCQB: BOSQF).

Nanoemulsion is a common method for creating CBD infused beverages.  Making CBD oil into a nanoemulsion effectively renders the CBD oil water-soluble, meaning you can now mix it with any beverage! Because the particles are so small, even though you are ingesting the CBD orally, the particles do not need to be broken down by the stomach and they enter almost immediately into your bloodstream. This increases the bioavailability to nearly 100% and also gives nearly instant results. Oils can take 15-30 minutes to show results, while our water-soluble can show the result in 2-4 minutes.

Nanoemulsions, are barely visible when put into a beverage, and are able to dissolve a large number of hydrophobics and protect drugs from degradation. This makes them the ideal carrier. The aforementioned factors are considered as a factor in the growth of the global nanoemulsion market.

Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) BREAKING NEWS: Pressure BioSciences Accelerating Rollout of Proprietary UST Platform for Water-Soluble CBD with Planned Release of Additional BaroShear Instrument - Pressure BioSciences, a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based instruments, consumables, and platform technology solutions to the worldwide life sciences and other industries, today announced that the Company plans to release a benchtop, R&D scale, Ultra Shear Technology™ ("UST™")-based BaroShear instrument to the market in the third quarter of 2020.  The Company believes this new instrument will address a significant unmet need in product formulation and development laboratories in the cannabis, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and other large and diverse markets for processing CBD and other oils into stable, effectively water-soluble, highly absorbable nanoemulsions of oil in water.

CBD and other cannabinoids are extracted from the hemp plant in an oil form.  The water-based biology of human bodies has difficulty accessing and absorbing oily molecules from the surface of ingested or topically applied hemp oil droplets. The ultra-low droplet sizes created by UST in nanoemulsions are designed to deliver levels of bioavailability and effectiveness that far exceed the dosing efficiencies achieved from today's macro or microemulsions of CBD Oil.
