Natural hemp/cannabis products carry more than a single molecule. A botanical hemp extract may contain cannabinoids, acidic cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, trace compounds, lipids, and other plant-derived components. Those components exist in ratios created by the plant.
CBDa (cannabidiolic acid) and CBGa (cannabigerolic acid) are the “raw” versions of CBD and CBG.
Bioavailability: Do acidic cannabinoids absorb differently?
One practical reason to keep CBDa in the mix is absorption. Emerging human and
translational data indicate that carboxylated cannabinoids like CBDa may reach higher blood
levels and absorb faster than their decarboxylated counterparts at comparable doses.
The fundamental question remains for many newcomers to CBD—when is the best time to take it and which one?
