CBD distillate

What is a CBD distillate?

CBD distillates are ultra-concentrated products rich in cannabidiol. They are obtained after the distillation process. This process consists of separating all the molecules of the cannabis plant, including flavonoids, terpenes and cannabinoids, to recover only what is of interest, in this case CBD.

Distillation involves using both heat and pressure to separate the various molecules. The result is a transparent or very clear distillate, proof of their purity. These can then be used to create DIY products, such as creams, liquids or edibles.

CBD distillates are generally purer than traditional CBD extracts and have a high CBD content. Most of the time, CBD distillates can reach 80 or even 90% CBD (if not more). All in all, this type of product is extremely potent and is best recommended for people who are used to taking cannabidiol.

How is CBD distillate obtained?

To obtain a CBD distillate, several steps must be followed. If the process is not followed to the letter, the resulting product will be of poor quality (it may not even be usable!).

CBD extraction

Extraction involves extracting the cannabidiol from the cannabis plant. This can be done in a variety of ways. Most companies prefer supercritical CO2 extraction. This method is the purest and healthiest for the consumer. Solvent or ethanol extraction is virtually never used.

Purification of CBD

Once the CBD has been extracted, a form of raw CBD is obtained. Here, cannabidiol still contains certain components of the cannabis plant, such as terpenes, flavonoids and traces of other cannabinoids. Purification involves removing these other components to obtain a pure CBD product.

Distillation

Distillation is the very last stage in the process! Typically, producers apply a vacuum distillation technique (a low-temperature distillation method), which ultimately eliminates all CBD impurities.

Finally, we obtain a product, a purified and isolated CBD concentrate. This is why the latter are extremely rich and powerful. They contain only CBD in its purest, most natural form.

How do I use a CBD distillate?

But how can CBD distillate be used? An extremely rich and powerful product, CBD distillate is often considered to be one of the most potent, and therefore most effective, forms of CBD. Here are some common ways to use CBD distillates:

• Vaping: CBD distillate can be used to produce vaping-ready liquids. These liquids can then be used to inhale CBD. The effects take between 5 and 15 minutes to take effect!
• Sublingual use: CBD distillate can be used directly via the sublingual route. Simply place the product directly under the tongue. The CBD is then drawn through the mucous membranes of the mouth. It then comes into contact with the bloodstream. Taking CBD sublingually also enables you to benefit from its supposed effects quickly.
• Ingestion: CBD distillate can be used as a dietary supplement. It can be used to make dishes, chocolate, gummies and beverages such as teas and coffees. In short, CBD distillate is a friend for those who love to cook.
• Topical application: CBD distillate can be used as a cosmetic product for skin care. Topical products based on CBD distillates are often used to relieve localized pain and inflammation. They moisturize, firm and strengthen the epidermis.

Naturally, those wishing to use a CBD distillate are advised to take care. As a reminder, cannabidiol concentrations can be relatively high. It is therefore essential to start with low doses, which you will increase as you go along, depending on how you feel and the effects you observe (whether positive or negative).

What are the effects of CBD distillate?

CBD is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid. This means that, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no high. However, this does not mean that CBD has no effect. A number of studies have attempted to describe the supposed effects of cannabidiol on the body, and these are quite varied.

Here's what comes up most often!

• Stress and anxiety: CBD targets the mechanisms responsible for stress and anxiety, notably cortisol (the stress hormone) and serotonin (the happiness hormone). As a result, CBD distillate helps you feel better in your daily life.
• Reducing pain and inflammation: CBD is said to reduce the sensation of pain and inflammation. A number of studies have shown that CBD distillate administration can improve pain management, particularly in patients suffering from serious illnesses such as Parkinson's or Multiple Sclerosis.
• Improved homeostatic cycle: CBD is said to have a positive impact on homeostasis, the virtuous circle of mood - energy - sleep - appetite. By recalibrating the whole, cannabidiol could help you feel better in your daily life, sleep better, eat better, be in a better mood, etc...
• Fight against additions CBD is said to have a positive effect on the fight against addictions, particularly to tobacco and nicotine. In fact, several studies are attempting to demonstrate how CBD distillate could help reduce tobacco consumption by around 40%!
