Explore the science and production methods behind water-soluble cannabinoids and bioactive compounds in this 35-minute webinar presented by Dr. Alexey Peshkovsky, co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Industrial Sonomechanics. Learn why traditional cannabis edibles and orally administered oils act slowly and unreliably due to their water-insoluble nature, and discover how this limitation affects the absorption of other bioactive ingredients in the human body. Understand the fundamental principle that since humans are mostly composed of water, water-insoluble ingredients cannot be efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream, contrasting this with water-soluble substances like alcohol that absorb quickly and completely. Examine ultrasonic manufacturing techniques for creating liquid and powdered water-soluble cannabinoid and alkaloid nanoemulsions that can be mixed into beverages or consumed as fast-disintegrating tablets. Discover how these water-soluble formulations enable cannabinoids, alkaloids, and other bioactive ingredients to be absorbed into the bloodstream without delay, significantly accelerating their onset of action and increasing their bioavailability. Review pre-clinical pharmacokinetic study results demonstrating the effectiveness of these production methods. Gain insights from Dr. Peshkovsky's extensive 25+ years of experience in instrumentation design and process development for the medical physics, pharmaceutical, and cannabis industries. Access PACE credits upon completion through Labroots' certification system, valid until April 17, 2026.
