THC-O Products

Terpenes are naturally occurring chemical compounds found in plants that were developed as a way to repel predators from eating them and to lure pollinators as a way to help them reproduce.

Terpenes found in cannabis plants often provide defining characteristics, such as aroma, flavor, and effects. Some offer uplifting effects, while others offer calming effects. Although terpenes can be utilized from many different plants, all Extract Labs infused products only use cannabis-derived terpenes.

The method by which you consume or administer cannabinoid products can affect their bioavailability, which is how much of a substance enters the bloodstream in a given amount of time.

For example, vaporizing or sublingual consumption are great ways to ingest cannabinoids, as they offer high bioavailability, meaning they will enter the bloodstream at a faster rate with short-lasting effects. On the other hand, oral consumption via capsules or edibles will enter the bloodstream at a slower rate with longer-lasting effects. Topicals offer the lowest bioavailability, as they are absorbed through the skin.

Understanding bioavailability can help you determine how much of a product you need to take, and in what form, to ensure a proper dose actually ends up in your system.

This term is used to describe the experience-based evidence where all of the components (cannabinoids, terpenes, etc.) in the plant work synergistically together in the body to create a balanced effect.
