CBD Oil vs CBD Soft Gel

CBD Oil vs CBD Softgel – What are Their Differences?

CBD oil and CBD softgel may seem pretty similar. They both contain CBD, and they’re both taken orally. But they are also different from each other in many ways. Below are some of their differences.

Physical Appearance

CBD is extracted from hemp through a number of methods, the most common and cleanest of which is “Supercritical CO2 Extraction.” The oil also undergoes the refining process to remove impurities, leaving behind pure CBD oil. CBD soft gels are simply the purified CBD from the Supercritical CO2 extraction placed in capsule form. Gelatin with sorbitol or glycerin is usually used to form the shell.

Mode of Administration

CBD oil is placed under the tongue for about 60 seconds before swallowing. CBD softgel, on the other hand, is swallowed with water. Some people find the taste of CBD oil too strong, so CBD softgel may be a better option for them.

Onset of Effects

CBD oil has a faster onset of effects. CBD is easily absorbed by the cells and immediately enters the bloodstream. You can feel the effects in as little as 15 minutes.
CBD softgel, on the other hand, has a longer onset of effects. It first has to go through the gastrointestinal system and the liver where it’s processed before entering the bloodstream. Effects are usually felt after about 30 minutes to two hours.

Duration of Effects

CBD oil may have a faster onset of effects, but the duration of effects is shorter. CBD softgel, on the other hand, has a longer duration of effects since CBD stays longer in your system.

Bioavailability

CBD oil has a higher bioavailability since the cells under the tongue quickly absorb CBD. A CBD soft gel, on the other hand, has a lower bioavailability since it has to pass through several organs before entering the bloodstream. You are losing some of the CBD this way. To increase CBD softgel’s bioavailability, you may ingest it with a high-fat meal since fat can help “protect” CBD as it passes through the gastrointestinal system and liver.

However, our Lullaby soft gels are produced using proprietary nanoemulsion technology. This state-of-the-art method makes CBD molecules smaller and increases its bioavailability by 200%. This means that your cells can easily and quickly absorb CBD.

Ease of Use

Of the two, CBD soft gels are easier and more convenient to use since you simply swallow it vs holding an oil in your mouth for 1 minute.
