How To Make CBD Water At Home

Oil and water simply don’t mix. That’s the sad truth about oil-based cannabidiol and water. Oil has larger molecules compared with good ol’ H2O. As a result, oil floats when mixed with water. If you try to infuse a glass of water with a few drops of CBD, you’ll most likely regret it. It’s unappealing, to say the least.

Truth be told, there are nuances to making your own CBD water as compared with, say, making a glass of iced tea. 

Why You Need CBD Water in Your Life

While it’s true that studies on the health benefits of using CBD are far from attaining conclusive results, there have been a number of cases where cannabidiol had shown improvements with test participants.

  • Anxiety

Among all the purported health benefits associated with CBD, none has been more studied than the compound’s ability to help reduce stress and anxiety. Again, while clinical research results are still inconclusive at this time, cannabinoids like CBD have been known to inhibit brain receptors and affect serotonin levels that trigger anxiety in people.

  • Sleeplessness

Poor sleep can affect your overall health. An article published on Harvard.edu claims that sleeplessness or insomnia can be addressed with the help of CBD. The compound primarily helps users get into and stay in a sleep state. This could mean that drinking CBD water before going to bed can improve the quality of one’s sleep.

  • Post-workout Hydration

Workouts, or any form of physical exertion for that matter, can drain the body and cause muscle inflammation. Proper hydration is important before, during, and, most especially, after exercise.

It’s interesting to note that one of the very first health benefits that have made CBD famous is its anti-inflammatory property. Hence, adding cannabidiol infusion into your post-workout hydration can help you maintain healthy a water level in your body to prevent muscle soreness.

 To Buy or Not To Buy

With its growing market reach, it’s no surprise that cannabidiol is available in all forms and formulations. You can buy CBD oils, tinctures, capsules, gels, and even vaping juice. So, it would be unthinkable if manufacturers would miss out on infusing everyday water with this compound.

Surely, it will be easier if you just buy your cache of CBD water. There are several online shops selling the product. It’s a good bet that your supplier also sells this drink. But, will buying be better than making your own CBD water? Here are some points to consider:

  • Quality

The market is inundated with CBD-based products. With off-the-shelf CBD water, you can never be sure about the quality you’re getting. Let’s say a brand truly has the compound in it, but does it have the right amounts of cannabidiol in every bottle? Or are you getting insignificant dosages of the compound?

  • Product Legitimacy

It’s no secret that many CBD products have been mislabeled by manufacturers and sellers. In fact, the U.S. FTC has launched a crackdown on false and misleading claims on the use of CBD. This begs the question: Are you getting the bang for your buck when buying CBD water?

  • Price

This make-or-buy question is as old as economics itself. Will it be cheaper if you make your own or if you buy ready-made products? You need to answer this for yourself. Cost depends on a lot of factors and one’s unique situation. For instance, you may be someone who has a source of spring water in your backyard which means you’ll only need to spend on CBD, while others may have to invest on both cannabidiol and clean drinking water.

If you can ensure that you’ll get the right dosage and quality CBD in your drinking water, then making your own will absolutely be more advantageous for you.

Making Your Own CBD Water at Home

You have come this far and are about to learn how to make your CBD water. First off, there is no secret to making this drink. There are basically two ingredients: CBD and water.

Yes, it’s that easy. Except for one little bit of detail. Remember, CBD is oil-based and it doesn’t mix well with water. This affects not just the appearance of your CBD-water solution, but also the bioavailability of cannabidiol in the human body which is made up of 60% water. Bioavailability is a fancy way of describing how substances are absorbed into the bloodstream.

This is where water-soluble CBD can help. With nanotechnology, scientists are able to create cannabidiol that dissolves in water and with improved bioavailability to boot. Use this type of CBD when making your own CBD water. Clean, filtered spring water works best when making this drink. Shake well.
