CBD started off as just an oil tincture, but many companies have started to notice how the CBD market is taking off and they have been keen to get involved. As the market has developed and grown, so have the innovative ways to deliver and formulate CBD. Here are 5 of the most weird and wonderful examples of CBD innovations:
- Toothpaste
There are a few brands of CBD tooth paste on the market now. Mostly they are formulated to be an all-natural, sensitive toothpaste that include a CBD isolate which is said to help promote good oral health. The CBD oil helps to balance the pH of the formula to a neutral pH of 7.0 which helps to balance the good bacteria in the mouth. Its anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial for gum disease, which is a problem that affects over 47.2% of adults over 30. CBD is also known for its anti-bacterial properties, and research from the Nation Institute of Health (NIH) has indicated that CBD can help eliminate Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, two of the bad bacteria known to cause tooth decay. If you are someone who already uses, or wants to start using CBD, including it in your oral hygiene routine could just be a great way to take your CBD. Many users prefer to take their CBD first thing in the morning and last thing at night – so adding it to your toothpaste could fit right into your daily life!
- Sausages
Sausages and CBD? A match made in heaven if you ask us. A young butcher named Luca Morand, dreamed up the CBD sausage at a BBQ with his friends and decided to make them and sell them at his butchers shop in Marseille, France. The sausages retail for 50 euros per kilo and are reported to give you all the mild calming effects of CBD, the butcher reported that they are flying off the shelves!
- Tampons
These feminine hygiene products are a highly innovative and environmentally friendly alternative to regular tampons. They are pesticide and GMO-free, made from ethically sourced and organic cotton fibres and are even sanitised with proprietary gamma-ray technology to reduce the risk of infections such as TSS. The tampons contain 100mg of potent full-spectrum CBD, which can assist with menstrual cramps be delivering the CBD directly to where it is needed the most.
- Activewear
CBD has proven it’s abilities in sports-recovery, by aiding with muscle soreness. One activewear brand has decided to embed the CBD droplets directly into the fabric of the clothing. The technology works by embedding microscopic CBD droplets into a protective coating, creating an exterior shell for the CBD that protects it from being damaged by evaporation, oxidation or contamination until release is triggered. The friction of your body during movement, triggers the microcapsules to open and release the CBD directly into your body!
- Mattresses and pillows
The CBD mattresses and pillows use a similar technology to the activewear, by dispersing microencapsulated CBD throughout the material that is released by friction. The CBD is absorbed by the skin and hair follicles throughout the night, to promote a restful night’s sleep. Insomnia is a common problem that many CBD users aim to, and succeed in treating with CBD so it is a useful way to incorporate that into your lifestyle.
