CBD Sparkling Water Raspberry

Description

Twenty five milligrams of broad spectrum extract per twelve ounce can, raspberry, in two pack sizes: 4-pack and 12-pack. Carbonated, no sugar, and nothing from concentrate, which is an ingredient statement about the fruit rather than about the cannabinoid. A can of this CBD sparkling water is one serving with the figure stated for the whole container.

The two cbd sparkling water pack sizes, and what each totals

Per can, per pack and the serving count, all three printed, because the front of a carton usually shouts only one of them.

• CBD sparkling water: 25 mg of broad spectrum extract per 12 oz can
• Options: 4-pack and 12-pack
• 4-pack total: 100 mg. 12-pack total: 300 mg
• Sugar: none. Fruit: raspberry, not from concentrate
• Delta-9: non detect on the certificate
• Price: from $20, with the price per milligram printed under each option

Why the twelve pack is cheaper per milligram

Because the carton and the certificate cost roughly the same either way while the contents triple. A 4-pack of CBD sparkling water is the one to buy to find out whether you like it; the 12-pack is the one to buy afterwards. Both figures are printed under both options so the comparison is on the page rather than left to you, and the general argument is in why price per milligram beats the price on the bottle.

How a cannabinoid gets into cbd sparkling water

By emulsification. Cannabidiol is an oil and does not dissolve in water, so it is broken into very small droplets with gum acacia, a modified starch or a polysorbate, and the emulsifier is named on the can rather than described as a technology. Droplet size decides whether the liquid stays clear and whether anything separates on standing. Carbonation adds a second constraint, since an emulsion in a pressurised can has a shorter stable life than the same emulsion flat, which is why the best before date on a CBD sparkling water is nearer than a tincture’s.

One can, one serving

That holds for both pack sizes, since the can is the unit and the carton is only how many of them arrive at once.

Serving size is where this aisle gets slippery. A 2 ounce shot at 100 mg across four servings is 25 mg a quarter bottle and the front label only shouts the 100. The drinks range prints container total, serving total and serving count on every listing, then the per milligram price underneath all three, so a can and a bottle of drops can be compared on the same footing. There is nothing to divide in a can.

Testing every production run

Every production run of this CBD sparkling water is assayed by a laboratory outside this business: cannabinoid content per can, the delta-9 line, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents and microbials. Per can assay rather than a batch average is the figure that matters on a filled beverage, because fill accuracy varies down a line. Runs measuring below their printed milligrams are withdrawn and the failing certificate stays published, as this note explains.

What the published work covers

Pharmacokinetics, and little on beverages specifically. Published studies report that cannabidiol taken with fat reaches higher blood levels than cannabidiol taken fasted, by several fold in some reports, and that droplet size in an emulsion affects absorption. A can of sparkling water contains no fat at all, which is a statement about the formulation rather than a criticism of it. Head to head human data on specific commercial drinks is scarce. Reference material on supplement absorption is published by the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

Best before dates are printed on every can. Chill before opening and keep the pack out of the sun. The certificate for the run currently shipping is linked here.
