What's in
your CBD oil?

CBD is not very bioavailable since it needs to be in the presence of fat to be effectively absorbed.  Bioavailability refers to the proportion of CBD your body can process compared to what it takes in.

That’s why CBD oils contain a carrier oil, whether it’s MCT oil, hempseed, avocado, coconut, ghee, grapeseed, olive, palm kernel oil or another oil.   CBD’s bioavailability is largely determined by the types of fat molecules contained in the carrier oil.

There are many different types of fat, and the way they vary on a molecular level affects how well it can transport CBD into your system. Besides bioavailability, individual differences between oils such as flavor consistency, may affect their viability as carrier oils. 

Does it matter which kind of carrier oil is used?

We think so. RESTART CBD uses Organic MCT coconut oil and here’s why?

MCT oil is one of the best carrier oils for CBD. MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides. RESTART CBD uses MCT oil  derived from coconuts (vs. palm kernel oil).  MCTs are easier to digest and absorb than long chain triglycerides (like the ones in olive oil). As a result, the CBD they carry is released into your system quickly and easily absorbed directly through the liver. MCT oil also preserves more CBD during the extraction process than other oils. In fact, coconut oil has been called a “near perfect medium for cannabis” products because of the ease with which CBD binds to it.

All carrier oils ARE NOT created equal. We prefer organic “coconut” MCT oil for the following reasons: 

• Coconut oil, derived from the fruit of the coconut tree, is a super-oil full of naturally present antioxidants and has  excellent anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
• Coconut Oil has little to no flavor, which makes it a great choice. Additionally, it is thinner than most oils, making it easy to dispense and measure. 
• It is exceptional for nourishing the hair, nails and skin. Its almost 50% content of lauric acid means that coconut oil can retain a long shelf life and improve good cholesterol (HDL).
• It is also great for dry skin and treating skin conditions as it has natural deep moisturizing properties. Which is why we love using it in our topicals as well.

RESTART CBD PURE CBD Oil starts with organically grown, co2 extracted CBD and combines it with Organic MCT coconut oil. That’s it.
