Bioavailability: Why It Matters in Supplements 

When it comes to supplements, many of us assume that what we swallow is what our bodies actually absorb. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. The extent to which your body absorbs and utilizes a cannabinoid, terpene or supplement plays a crucial factor in determining its effectiveness. Bioavailability is the measure of how well a supplement is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and utilized by the body. 

Why does it matter? 

For starters, if a supplement has low bioavailability, you may not be getting the effective dosage that’s listed on the label. That can mean reduced efficacy or even no benefits at all. Best case scenario, you’ve just wasted your money on an ineffective supplement, but the risks of poorly absorbed supplements can include gastrointestinal issues and other adverse effects. High bioavailability, on the other hand, ensures you’re getting the most nutrients available to help your body function optimally. This means you get more of the results you’re looking for and often with rapid onset times. 

Several factors influence bioavailability. For the product itself, the factors include the dosage form, molecular structure and the quality of the ingredients. The individual consumer also plays a role in terms of age, genetics and digestive health. New technologies, however, can give products an edge, especially when it comes to cannabinoids and terpenes.  

NANO, a line of fast-acting cannabis gummies from KANHA Life, features proven VESIsorb technology that provides rapid relief and rapid onset times. The nano-emulsion technology, used for decades by global CPG giants, breaks down the cannabinoids and terpenes more quickly so you experience fast-acting effects and significantly superior absorption rates. You can verify that claim by checking the test results here and here from randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical trials published in a peer-reviewed science journal. 

In other words, you get more, and you get it faster with NANO. 

Our fast-acting cannabis gummies – available in Indica Grape, Hybrid Watermelon and Sativa Cran-Pomegranate – also offer greater availability. NANO gummies are made with federally compliant hemp, including 15mg of Delta 9 THC per gummy, making them available at retail and ecommerce in most of the United States.
