The Karma Collection: A CBD Product Guide
To help you on your healing journey, we’ve put together an easy-to-use guide for our Karma Collection. CBD can be taken in a variety of ways, offering you a spectrum of ideas on how to incorporate cannabidiol into your daily routine or how to use it for a specific concern. Each route has a differing efficacy due to the bioavailability (the amount of CBD that can be absorbed and the rate at which this happens) of CBD when ingested, inhaled, taken sublingually (under the tongue) or applied topically.
Unlike many CBD products on the market, our products are made with true full spectrum, whole-plant extract. Grown organically and carefully selected, we don’t add any synthetics, additive terpenes or cannabidiol to increase the CBD content or enhance smell or flavour. Think of our products as more like a whole food – far more nutritious and good for your health than a highly processed alternative.
Our gentle CO2 extraction method, organic choices, hand crafted, small production and laboratory testing keeps our products naturally rich and as safe as possible.
We’ve curated each of our ranges to allow you to make a more informed decision and help you on your personal path to healing.
Full Spectrum, Whole Plant CBD Oil
A simple tincture packed with goodness, we recommend a few drops of our organically grown European Cannabis Sativa L. Hemp oil 1-5 times a day. Our full spectrum signature drops come in three strengths: 6%, 12% and 21%. Everyone has their own level of natural tolerance to CBD and it’s part of your journey to discover what works best for you.
The bioavailability of CBD when taken under the tongue is 10-15% and is proven to be more effective when taken after eating on a full stomach. Lasting up to 6 hours, it usually takes around 10-20 minutes to take effect. Research has shown that taking CBD oil can help reduce inflammation, alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression, reduce stress and ease pain.
Using CBD daily has also shown promising results for sufferers of epilepsy, cancer patients and those with behavioural disorders.
Karma CBD Mylk
Fancy a CBD coffee to start your day? Our CBD Mylk could be the way. These vegan, water soluble drops offer five times improved bioavailability when compared to oil-based products made from the same CBD extract.
As the body is mainly made up of water, it can be difficult to absorb oils into the bloodstream. Our water-soluble Mylk is absorbed and digested far more efficiently (up to 90%), which means more CBD in your system, quicker. Karma Mylk is made from a broad-spectrum CBD extract (0% THC) which has less terpenes, waxes and chlorophylls – meaning it doesn’t have the earthy taste that hemp oil has.
Our CBD Mylk can be added to any drink or food, making it a simple, versatile way to enjoy the benefits of CBD. If you’re looking for super-fast effects, our Mylk can also be taken under the tongue and will start getting to work in around 1-3 minutes.
Capsules
Though their bioavailability is slightly lower than our drops (9-12%), our capsules offer a slower release delivery. If you’re looking to take a higher daily dose or for whatever reason simply can’t use our oils, capsules provide an easy and measured alternative.
No fuss, easy to swallow and suitable for vegans, these fully legal food supplements, should ideally be taken 15-20 minutes after food when your digestive system is most active so that maximum absorption can occur. Our capsules can easily fit into your daily routine twice a day with either 12 or 24mgs of CBD per capsule. For 12mg, choose our 600mg pot or for 24mg, we recommend going for the 1200mg.
CBG/CBD
For the ultimate entourage effect, our CBG/CBD is a perfect choice. CBG is often referred to as the ‘mother’ of all cannabinoids. CBG is where CBD is derived from (CBGa and CBGVa). All 120 different cannabinoids begin life as CBG in the immature plant.
Whereas CBD indirectly interacts with the receptors of the endocannabinoid system, CBG interacts with them directly. The most notable differences of CBD and CBG are their healing effects. Both share similar anti- inflammatory, neuroprotective, calming and perhaps even anti-proliferative properties, but research has shown that CBG may treat bladder dysfunction and help those suffering from inflammatory bowel disease.
Our CBG contains 500mg of CBG and 500mg of CBD carried in non-GMO organic hemp seed oil. So, each drop has 1.25mg of CBG and 1.25mg of CBD as well as a full array of the other cannabinoids and terpenes which make our products so popular.
Balms
Our CBD infused, topical balm is a real wonder product. We have seen instances of it working within just 20 seconds. Typically, topical balms take around 5 minutes to take effect and you can choose your own dosage when applying directly to the target area.
Our balm absorbs and works quickly and effectively due to the high cannabidiol content and the presence of cannabinoid receptors on the skin. Our balm is made from a unique blend of essential oils, organic beeswax and coconut oil with our organic single farm CBD Oil distillate that we infuse with our hand-picked and cleaned, organic, whole hemp flower, grown in the Polish mountains.
This healing salve not only smells amazing but is also a rich source of naturally occurring vitamin E, terpenes, flavonoids, antioxidants and nutrients.
Using our balm can be a powerful way to help ease muscle and joint pain as well as reducing inflammation as it reaches through the epidermis to be deeply absorbed into the muscles and joints. For maximum efficacy, we recommend using our balm alongside one of our oral CBD oil products.
Cartridges
Our most effective product to date and the world’s most concentrated, all-natural CBD pen, this is one of our bestsellers. And there’s a reason for that. Did you know that when inhaled, CBD’s bioavailability can be up to 90%?
The large surface area of our lungs provides maximum and fast absorption and has an almost immediate onset with a duration of 2-3 hours. Our deluxe strains contain over 9% CBG concentration for added entourage benefits. Just like our oils, our cartridges contain full spectrum cannabis extract created especially for our vape cartridges – with nothing but organic and real cannabis-derived terpenes from our California extractor in Los Angeles.
Our original cartridges are created using a broad spectrum (0%THC) extract and offer a 52% CBD content, or you could go a step further and try a deluxe cartridge with a whopping 77% cannabinoid content. Vaping offers fast acting relief, with a smooth, mild and natural taste and around 130 doses per cartridge (1dose = 3 puffs).
Choosing a vape pen is an even more personalised experience as we have so many strains to choose from. Take some time to read up on the properties, flavour and profile of each cartridge to make sure you find the perfect strain for you.
Tea
The closer to nature we keep our CBD products, the more we reap their benefits. That’s why our tea is as natural as it gets. Just hot water and plant: the oldest method of consuming CBD. Evidence suggests humans were drinking hemp tea over 10,000 years ago. Just like our whole-plant CBD oil, our organic hemp leaves contain powerful terpenes like linalool and beta-caryophyllene, which are known to help with sleep and inflammation.
Studies have also shown terpenes can produce an antidepressant-like effect. Whilst hemp can come in many different forms, the most effective form is in its most natural state – hemp leaf/flower tea. The leaves and flowers of the hemp plant are where CBD is created so it makes sense to use them directly. You extract the CBD into the hot water when you make your brew. Simple yet brilliant – as Nature always is.
How To Increase Bioavailability And Overall Efficacy
What we choose to put inside our bodies is very important and we are all increasingly conscious of this. As well as what we choose, when we choose to have it and how we choose to take it are as important. Having described the various ways you can enjoy our CBD at Karma Coast, we also wanted to share how to get the most out of our products.
The hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa L.) contains over 500 different compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonols, lipids, waxes, and chlorophylls. Many of these compounds have their own unique effect on the body but when consumed together, the efficacy and potency of these compounds is significantly increased.
‘The entourage effect’ is when all the plant compounds work as a team to create a synergy (combined action) that otherwise would not be reached by the compounds alone. Meaning that choosing to use multiple forms of CBD at similar times will increase their overall ability and strength.
CBD exposure is also vastly increased when taken with high-fat foods as opposed to when compared to fasting. Studies have shown that taking CBD with food increases the amount of CBD in the body by four times, with the maximum amount recorded in the participants’ blood increased by 14 times.
We always suggest keeping a CBD dosage diary and maintaining a regular pattern for at least one week before altering. This way, you can be far more intuitive to your body’s personal needs, explore how you feel and create your own tailored routine. We are big fans of the ‘Start low, go slow’ mantra as that way, you find what works best for you.
