On the latest episode of The Cannabis Conversation, we’re joined by Dr Sung Min Pyo – Head of Laboratory – Enabling Pharma Excipients for BASF.

A 2018 report from the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated the bioavailability from oral consumption of CBD to be only 6% (WHO Technical Report Series 1013)

We explore the reasons behind this estimate and discuss the bioavailability, absorption, and solubility of CBD, alongside some potential solutions to improve its uptake in the body.
