SunMed Label Update (March 2020)

We’ve had several questions about the new labeling that is starting to show up on our products. These changes are coming for good reasons but may definitely cause some confusion. Here’s a quick overview of the changes.

Concentration instead of total amount

Our old bottles all used to show the total amount of cannabinoids, such as 1000mg, 500mg, 600mg gummy bears, etc. To help users compare between products, SunMed has moved towards a ‘per unit’ type of measurement, going by milliliter or piece, depending on whether it’s a liquid or an edible. These are still the same total CBD strength, just divided by the measurement unit. Here’s a quick example breakdown of the new labels.

Remember, 30mL in each bottle, so you would multiply the new value x 30 for the total. For edibles, simply multiply the new value by the jar count.

Old Value	New Value
1000mg CBD Oil	33mg PER mL
750 Gummy Bears	25mg per piece (30 count)
500mg CBD Oil	17mg PER mL
2500mg Peach & Watermelon Rings	25mg per piece (150 count)

Hemp Supplement & Hemp Extract

Old bottles used to show the word ‘Tincture’ or ‘CBD.’ While the contents still contain the quality CBD we love, the labelling and ingredients have changed to help better comply with advice from the government. You may see the wording ‘Hemp Supplement’ on your bottle or ‘hemp extract’ in the ingredients. Remember, we still show the tested cannabinoid content on our lab reports, and it will be a full or broad spectrum CBD in your bottle.

Water Soluble CBD or Sublingual Oil?

One of the most frequent questions we get is which mode of cannabidiol is best to take for a specific condition. We definitely recommend a broad or full spectrum CBD product, and our sublingual tinctures and water soluble products are both excellent, but your body will respond to these a little bit differently.

Formulation

Our SunMed sublingual tinctures utilize a supercritical C02 extraction method, and the 100+ cannabinoids (dominantly CBD) and cannabis terpenes are suspended into a pure MCT oil to create a sublingual CBD oil that is as as bioavailable as possible when held under the tongue. The liver will still break down the cannabinoids, but the oil will remain in the body for a longer period of time.

Our industry leading water soluble formula uses ultrasound and emulsification to separate the oils into incredibly small particle sizes (< 0.005 microns). This allows for a better uptake of the cannabinoids, and helps avoids the liver’s first pass elimination.

Water Soluble CBD Pros

Quick absorption in the body; a more powerful, more noticeable effect. Each milligram of a water soluble CBD will absorb better in the human body by a factor of about 3 – 4 relative to our sublingual tinctures. (Other manufacturers claim 4 to 10x, but they are assuming a subpar oil or edible as their basis claim)
Crosses the blood brain barrier more effectively due to its formulation
Faster, stronger effect. Can even be applied topically if needed (thought our topical cream is better formulated for that purpose)

Sublingual CBD Oil Pros

Steadier, more constant uptake of cannabinoids in the body, but more subtle / less effective, definitely needs to be dosed regularly for a week or two before altering the dose if searching for more effect.
According to one study, women may respond better than men to sublingual.

Both our water soluble and sublingual oils are great options, but we really recommend our customers start with water soluble CBD first due to it’s unique advantages and better value. You may want to experiment with both to see which provides you with the best value and effect. Remember, with either, dose regularly and consistently for best results, and be sure to let us know which works better for you!
