CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of several cannabinoids from the industrial hemp plant. All of our third-party tested products are made from the highest quality hemp oil and include either the full or broad spectrum of cannabinoids to maximize the entourage effect of potential benefits.
There are several different ways to use CBD externally or internally and we have a variety of hemp products to choose from. Two of our most popular daily supplements, tinctures and water-solubles, are both fantastic options. In this article, we’re going to look a little closer at the two so you can decide which is the right choice for you.
It’s important to know that when it comes to starting any hemp supplement regimen, there are a few things to keep in mind so that you get the most of out your product. Consistent use, twice daily, preferably an hour after a meal, are all things we generally recommended. 10mg tends to be a good initial dose for most adults and we suggest starting low and slow. Essentially, start with a low dose and allow three days to a week for your body’s endocannabinoid system to respond before slowly increasing the amount until you find your sweet spot.
Tinctures and Water Solubles: What’s right for you?
Hemp Oil Tinctures
What is a tincture? Simply put, a tinctures is a concentrated herbal extract. Tinctures are made by combining an herb with a carrier liquid. Our hemp oil tinctures are made of Organically Grown Hemp Extract, Organically Grown MCT Oil (from coconut oil), and Organic Flavor. Our SunMed hemp oil tinctures are full of natural cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids due to our gold-standard CO2 subcritical extraction process. All of our products are always third party tested by accredited labs for accuracy and safety.
Tinctures are intended to be used sublingually, meaning the tincture is administered under the tongue and held for 60-90 seconds before swallowing to help distribute the oil better. Follow this easy step-by-step guide with pictures to learn how to use and get the most from a hemp oil tincture. The oil takes a few days to build up in your system but after consistent use has very long-lasting effects. Depending on the individual, that’s typically between 8-12 hours at a time.
We offer a variety of hemp oil tinctures including our newest USDA Certified line as well as the innovative CBG citrus and CBN+ tinctures. We also have tried-and-true full-spectrum and broad spectrum hemp supplement oils. All droppers are labeled clearly so you can adjust and control your dose. Last year, our orange tincture was voted #1 best tincture at the USA CBD Expo!

Water Solubles
What exactly is Water Soluble CBD? Water Solubles essentially started as hemp oil that has, through several patented processes, become a highly bioavailable liquid that dissolves in water quickly and completely. The compounds are surrounded by a liposome which creates an emulsion to allow for quick and direct delivery to the endocannabinoid system.
Water Solubles are our fastest-acting way to consume CBD. Most people start to notice a difference in 5-7 minutes and it lasts about 3 to 5 hours at a time. These are also very easy to use–no need to wait–simply add the desired dose to 6-8oz of your favorite beverage, and go!
Water-soluble products we currently offer include the innovative CBG-rich Neuro, broad-spectrum, and full-spectrum liquid formulas. We also have liquid gel caps and award-winning topical creams that are made without water-soluble formula. All these are BOGO 20% off on Wednesdays!

Tinctures and Water Solubles: What’s right for you?
While water-solubles are faster-acting, tinctures –once in your system– are longer-lasting. Most people tend to use one or the other, however, some of our customers use both. There may be times when having a product that is fast-acting is more appropriate for someone. On the other hand, having a product with a long duration might be more important for someone else.
Consider how you would like to consume your CBD. Does one sound more conducive to your lifestyle than the other? Maybe you want to try both to experience the differences. Or, why not add an inhalable, like a vape pen, or our CBG-rich raw hemp (which also has several other uses) to your routine?
It is not uncommon for people to consume CBD in multiple ways, in fact, most do! We also have a wide selection of delicious gummies that pair nicely with tinctures and water solubles for added support to your body’s ECS. Supplements like honey sticks and hard candies take longer to enter the body compared to water-soluble, however, everyone’s body chemistry is unique and certain products can feel more effective than others for certain individuals.
The best way to find out which method of consumption is best for you is to try each one out for an extended amount of time until you determine your ideal practice. Happy hemping!
