OIL AND WATER DON’T MIX

When you mix oil and water, you know the oil simply floats on top. The molecules of oil are too big, making them unable to mix into a solution.

In order to benefit from our nutrition, food must be readily absorbed by our intestines, which are lined in a fine layer of water. Liquids and solids that are oil-based pass through our digestive system, unable to pass through the water barrier. When you take oil-based supplements, the majority of their benefits are not absorbed by your body, leading to a bioavailability rate of less than 10%.

UltraCell™ is different, with up to a 94% bioavailability rate.

In the hemp industry the term water soluble is commonly used as an easy way to explain and understand how CBD can be absorbed in a water-based system. All CBD is naturally oil soluble, and unless the CBD comes from non-natural sources (i.e. synthetically made) or is altered to nano-sized particles, CBD will need to be changed through technology, chemistry, or encapsulation in order to make it water soluble-like. Technically, Zilis UltraCell™ products are water miscible, or water dispersible, which allows the hemp product to be stable, evenly dispersed in water, and able to be absorbed in water-based conditions.
