I have been making d8 disty and dabs for a while now, I am curious if anyone here has tried it as a sublingual. I made a few 2000mg tinctures and I have had mixed testimonials… “giggly high, spins at 3am, felt like I ate an edible for the first time… etc.”
I have been taking it for the past few months. It varies from night to night. I have done 4, 6, and 8 drops just to see how it would effect me. Sometimes I feel high others nothing. It really is a toss up.
Sample labels I am playing with, serving size is listed. I am doing 2 full 1ml droppers, effects are sleepy but with strong head high, may try in morning and track results.
That’s a ton of MCT that’s just going to float around under their tongue. Not going to be a very effective sublingual since they’re just going to be swallowing it instead.
It’s not going to have good absorption. Have you tried it yourself? It’s going to sit in your mouth until you decide to swallow it. That’s not absorbing sublingually, that’s ingesting it. It might be normal for the industry but that doesn’t make it right. This is totally fine if you want to make a tincture but not a sublingual tincture. For sublingual you need an emulsion/carrier.
I have used the same formula with similar results. I can do 6 drops and not feel anything but felt quite a bit on 4 drops another time. I talked to someone about that and they felt like that was a sign of an inadequate mixture process
Yeah there are a few layers that must be penetrated in the mouth for effective sublingual absorption, most of all there must be a sufficient amount of water soluble components to allow for transportation directly into the blood. The key is to temporarily disrupt the structure of the protective layer of skin preventing oils and stuff from transporting into the capillaries while not permanently disrupting it. That’s the fun part!!
