Why Buy Delta 8 Tinctures?
Delta 8 tinctures are one of the best ways to consume Delta 8. With a 1000mg concentration, the tinctures provide adequate strength for any Delta 8 fan looking to maximize the benefits of this famed cannabinoid.
The 1000mg Delta 8 tincture from Koi offers many advantages to the consumer, many of which are therapeutic.
Promoting relaxation and calmness
One of the primary benefits of taking a Delta 8 tincture is its ability to help you relax and instill a sense of calmness. Many individuals use the product as a natural aid to help unwind after a long day or alleviate feelings of stress.
Delta 8 interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating mood and emotions. By binding to specific receptors in the brain, Delta 8 can help induce tranquility and ease.
Discomfort support
Like Delta 9, Delta 8 is also associated with supporting general physical discomfort. Initial research results indicate that Delta 8 may have effects similar to Delta 9. However, Delta 8 also interacts with both CB1 and CB2 receptors which can potentially influence pain perception.
Managing Stress
A Delta 8 tincture may also offer benefits for individuals struggling with stress. If you have a public event coming up or struggle with social gatherings, taking Delta 8 might help to quiet down the jitters.
Preliminary studies indicate that Delta 8 can potentially relieve nervousness by binding to CB1 receptors in the brain, producing a more calming effect. Delta 8 is thought to be even better at this because its uplifting effects are less intense than those of Delta 9.
These effects also trickle down and help in reducing stress. Experts believe this is possible because Delta 8 may have a hand in controlling cortisol levels. By modulating this production, you can feel more balanced and at ease.
Sleep support
Delta 8 tinctures might be worth considering if you struggle with sleep disturbances. Many individuals report having positive results and better sleep after taking a Delta 8 tincture. The cannabinoid has calming properties that can help relax the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. The tincture can help by promoting deeper and more restful sleep and may contribute to increased energy levels and overall well-being when you're awake.
Additionally, tinctures are often more effective than other consumables because it is more highly concentrated and delivers a high amount of Delta 8 in a few drops. Other benefits of the Delta 8 tinctures include;
It is easy to take
The tincture is relatively easy to take. It comes with a convenient, calibrated dropper that delivers the same amount of Delta 8 on each serving. You don't need anything else to take the tincture, but if you're feeling adventurous, you can try adding the tincture to food or drinks.
Faster absorption
The diversity of Delta 8 tinctures is what makes them a unique product. There are many ways to enjoy the tincture, and depending on how you choose to take the tincture, you can also determine how fast you get results.
For fast absorption, you can take the tincture sublingually. This involves placing the drops of the tincture under the tongue and holding it there for some time. The Delta 8 is absorbed through the rich network of capillaries in this region and around the cheeks. This approach bypasses the digestive system and delivers the active compounds directly into the bloodstream for faster and more potent effects.
It’s convenient
Delta 8 tinctures pack a significant amount of Delta 8 in a tiny bottle that can fit in your pocket. You can take the tincture and consume it anywhere because it comes with the dropper incorporated into the bottle. It's an excellent choice when you're looking for a convenient product you can take on the road.
Long shelf-life
Tinctures have a long shelf life if you store them correctly.
Delta 8 tinctures have their benefits and should be among the range of Delta 8 products you have in your collection, especially if you're a high Delta 8 THC consumer. The tincture efficiently delivers the right amount of Delta 8 THC without taking up too much of the product.
What is Delta 8 Oil Tincture?
Delta 8 oil is a blend of Delta 8 extract and an inert carrier oil. Different brands use different carrier oils, but the most common ones are hemp seed oil or medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil – which is what Koi uses. Delta 8 oils are often referred to as tinctures because of the nature of the packaging that both products come in.
The Delta 8 oil can be taken sublingually, applied topically, or consumed orally by placing the oil on the tongue or mixing it with food or drinks. Adding an MCT oil to the extract helps increase the absorption rate of Delta 8 THC into the body.
Benefits and downsides of Delta 8 oil tincture
Delta 8 oil has minimal ingredients. It is purest and most tolerated to consume, with reduced chances of side effects. It is readily available in various formulations and strengths, providing plenty of options to match individual needs.
Unlike other (alcohol-based) Delta 8 tinctures, the products with MCT oil can be used for topical applications. However, they typically have a lower bioavailability than Delta 8 products that are alcohol based.
Benefits and downsides of alcohol-based Delta 8 products
When taken sublingually, Delta 8 drops with alcohol can bypass the digestive system, allowing them to work faster than other forms of Delta 8, including oils taken orally when they have to work their way through the digestive system. Also, the body absorbs the alcohol-based tinctures faster than Delta 8 oils, meaning quicker onset times.
Delta 8 oils are usually preferred when you wish to avoid alcohol-based tinctures or want to add your Delta 8 to your cooking.
How to Consume Delta 8 Tinctures
Delta 8 tinctures are extremely convenient and versatile to consume. They take the guesswork out of taking Delta 8 and simplify the process. There are various ways you can administer tinctures. Each method has its own benefit, but the preferred method is largely based on personal preferences.
The most commonly used methods to take Delta 8 tinctures are the four listed below:
Direct to mouth
This is the easiest way to administer tinctures. Fill up the dropper with adequate Delta 8, place the drops directly in your mouth, and swallow. If you haven't tried Delta 8 tinctures before, you should try going with a much lower amount. You should also know that in some brands, the tinctures are not flavored, so you should be prepared for a bitter taste.
Sublingual administration
This method is very similar to the direct-to-mouth method. However, instead of placing the drops on your tongue, you place them under the tongue and hold them in place for one to two minutes before swallowing them. This is better than swallowing the Delta 8 immediately. It allows for absorption through a network of small capillaries beneath the tongue. This technique also offers the quickest onset of effects. You can start experiencing effects within five to ten minutes because the Delta 8 is absorbed straight into the bloodstream.
Combine with food or drink
If you don't enjoy the taste or consistency of Delta 8 tinctures, this method can make it easier for you to enjoy the benefits without dealing with the aspects you don't like.
It’s important to remember that oil and water don't combine very well. So, if you want to combine your tincture with a beverage, it will rise to the top of the drink. When you take that first gulp, you will get a good dose of the oil floating on the surface of the beverage. You can avoid this by ensuring you mix the oil properly into the drink and drink it fast before it gets the opportunity to separate and rise to the surface.
When adding Delta 8 to food, it might help to keep the temperatures low, and possibly consider adding it to salad and other foods that are not subjected to heat because it can negatively affect the quality of the effects.
Topical
The rise of topical Delta 8 products has reduced the need to topically apply Delta 8 tinctures. But it might come in handy when you have it on hand and are looking for localized relief without a topical product. You only need to apply a few drops. If you apply excessive oil to the skin, you will end up with a greasy mess. Also, you should only apply tincture oils and not alcohol-based tinctures to the skin.
Potential Side Effects of Using Delta 8 Tinctures
Delta 8 tinctures are generally considered safe when used responsibly. There have been several reported cases of mild and temporary side effects that consumers should be aware of. These effects are often reported among new Delta 8 fans who take too much before building the right tolerance. These side effects include;
- Dry mouth – This is the most common side effect reported by Delta 8 tincture consumers. It is also called cottonmouth. It happens often when you take high-concentration Delta 8 products orally. Luckily, this is an easy-to-address effect. Staying hydrated by drinking water frequently can help alleviate the discomfort.
- Drowsiness – You might also experience some drowsiness after consuming Delta 8 tinctures, especially at higher doses or if combined with other substances that induce sleepiness. If you experience this, you should try to lower your intake and avoid operating heavy machinery or driving until you know how delta 8 affects your body. You should also avoid combining Delta 8 tinctures with other substances.
How to Choose the Best Delta 8 Tinctures
There’s an extensive range of Delta 8 tinctures on the market. Choosing the right one proves to be quite the experience, and along the way, you might stumble on some less desirable and even dangerous Delta 8 tinctures if you don't know what to look for. To help you avoid that, here is a set of tips that should guide you through your search for the best Delta 8 tincture.
Purity of the product
Not all brands are made equal. When choosing your tinctures, you'll want to ensure the production process doesn't introduce toxic chemicals, synthetic additives, or artificial flavorings. You should avoid tinctures with too many additional ingredients.
Independent lab reports
Always ensure that the vendor you're buying from provides third-party lab reports. These ensure that each aspect of the product is as marketed and is suitable for human consumption. Independent lab testing is also a way to assure customers that the product is authentic and pure.
Brand reputation
Brand reputation is a major factor when buying Delta 8 tinctures. The most reputable brands are the most diligent in ensuring the safety and potency of their products. Besides being popular, you should have information on how the brand processes its Delta 8 and how the products have been received by other consumers.
Product variations
Your Delta 8 tincture experience shouldn't be limited to a single product. You should find a vendor that provides a wide range of strength, flavor, and blend options. This allows you to customize the experience and benefits.
Delta 8 Tincture FAQs
Q: Will Delta 8 tinctures make you high?
Delta 8 tinctures contain Delta 8 THC as the main active ingredient, producing uplifting effects. However, the elevating effects are not the same as the ones you experience from Delta 9 THC. The experience is milder and with clearer-headed effects.
Q: How much Delta 8 tincture should I use?
The average dose of Delta 8 THC ranges from 10 to 40mg, but the precise amount depends on the individual. It is better to start low on your first dose and increase gradually until you find a dose that gives you the effects you're looking for to avoid taking too much.
Q: How long does it take for the effects of the tincture to kick in?
It can take between 10 minutes to one hour for Delta 8 tincture effects to kick in. Some people have reported waiting longer. The time it takes to feel the effects will depend on, among other things, the food you take with the tincture and your metabolism. If you have a slower absorption rate, it will take longer to feel the effects.
Q: Will a Delta 8 tincture make me fail a drug test?
Delta 8 and Delta 9 produce the same metabolites, making it hard for standard tests to tell the difference without precision lab equipment. Therefore, using a Delta 8 tincture will likely appear on a standard Delta 9 THC test, especially when you take the tincture regularly. If you've used Delta 8 THC tinctures, most blood and urine tests will register the compound as THC.
Q: Can I mix Delta 8 tincture with other substances?
It is not recommended to mix your Delta 8 tincture with other substances unless advised by a healthcare professional or specified by the manufacturer. If you’re already taking prescription medication, you should speak to your doctor before adding Delta 8 tinctures to your supplement regimen.
Q: How often should I take Delta 8 tincture?
The frequency of taking the tincture depends on your individual needs. You can start with a low dose and gradually adjust based on how your body responds and your Delta 8 THC intake.
