Carrier Oils and Lecithin

Carrier oils and lecithin are parts of the formulation's delivery design.

Cannabinoids' affinity for fat helps explain their use in an oil carrier. Lipophilic names that affinity; bioavailability concerns how much of an administered substance reaches systemic circulation.

MCT and LCT mean medium-chain and long-chain triglycerides. The founder's carrier model connects them with differing time profiles in Glide Path; a particular product's profile requires measurement.

Distinguish the ingredients and structures

Lecithin is a phospholipid mixture. Phosphatidylcholine is a particular phospholipid, not a synonym for every lecithin mixture. Phospholipids have water-associated and fat-associated portions.

An emulsion disperses one liquid in another. Micelles help carry fat-soluble material during digestion. Liposomes are membrane-bounded lipid vesicles. Adding lecithin alone does not establish that a finished product contains liposomes.

Carrier fat and accompanying food

Fat in the formulation and fat eaten with it are distinct. The founder has described whole-fat milk, yogurt, or chicken fat as accompanying foods. Their proposed purpose is to influence delivery; this edition does not establish an amount, absorption gain, or dose-adjustment rule.

Fat Matrix remains undefined; see Questions to Resolve. Whole-Plant Infusion covers the plant compounds, and Formulation and Individual Response distinguishes formulation, measurement, and experience.
