What is Liposomal CBD?

Liposomal CBD is CBD wrapped in a protective fat-based layer that helps it stay intact through digestion so your pet can absorb it more effectively when it’s given with food. Some studies on pet CBD suggest that CBD can be more effective when given in a liposomal formulation. At Pet Releaf, Liposome Hemp Oils are designed to make daily CBD easier to give while helping your pet get the full benefits of our Organic Full Spectrum CBD hemp oil. Below, we’ll explain what makes liposome hemp oils unique and how they work in our Ultra Releaf Hemp Oil.

Why Did We Create Liposome Hemp Oils?

At Pet Releaf, it’s our goal to innovate products that meet the needs of every single pet. Liposomes offer pet parents a more convenient and flexible method to give their companions CBD because it is administered during or after mealtime.

In fact, our Liposome Hemp Oils absorb into the bloodstream 3x faster than traditional CBD hemp oils when administered on food, allowing pet parents to give less oil daily and in turn get 3x more use out of a single bottle. Beyond the convenience of administration, we also wanted to give our customers another mixing agent to select from when picking an oil product for their pet.

What are Liposomes?

Liposomes are a technology used as a delivery system for supplements and certain medications that traditionally lose effectiveness when hit by the gastric acids in the stomach during the digestion process. Cannabinoids, like CBD, when consumed in their raw form, are greatly impacted by these gastric acids. This is why with our current line of Organic Full Spectrum CBD oils, we recommend administering them directly in your pet’s mouth for max absorption, to avoid the digestive process. Liposome oil technology allows pet parents to administer our CBD hemp oil during mealtime without the product losing any effectiveness!

What is a Liposome?

A Liposome is a lipid (fat) layer that surrounds a particular molecule to help protect it from the gastric acids in the stomach. Our Liposomes are made primarily from Sunflower Lecithin sourced from Spain. An easy way to picture it is like a Peanut M&M: our Full Spectrum cannabinoids found in our raw CBD hemp oil are the peanut, and the outer layer is the Sunflower Lecithin. During digestion, that lipid layer helps shield the CBD until it reaches the intestines, where it can then be absorbed more efficiently.

How Are Pet Releaf Liposomes Made?

Pet Releaf Liposomes contain the exact same organic, Full Spectrum hemp extract found in all other Pet Releaf products. However, the Liposomes have gone through a process of microencapsulation (the process of surrounding our Full Spectrum hemp extract with that protective Sunflower Lecithin layer). Once microencapsulated, the Liposomes are mixed with a Hibiscus Flower Extract.

Are Pet Releaf Liposomes Water Soluble?

Yes! Our Liposomes are water-soluble. However, we do not recommend placing the oil and leaving it in your pet’s open water bowl. The water solubility allows the product to effectively be administered during your pet’s mealtime.
