Base oil used in CBD oil What are MCT oil and hemp seed oil?

CBDオイルのベースオイル

Hello, this is Naoko Miyazaki from Milobina.

Mary Jane's CBD Drops (CBD oil) sold at Milobina is a product in which CBD is dissolved in liquid. CBD can be ingested into the body either by sublingual administration, where it is stored in the blood vessels at the bottom of the body, or by oral ingestion, which is swallowed whole or added to drinks or food.

Mary Jane's CBD drops (CBD oil) come in three types of base liquids. One is propolis extract, the other two are MCT oil and hemp seed oil.

These two oils are vegetable oils that contain ingredients that are good for the body, but some people may not be familiar with them. This time, we will introduce these two base oils.

It doesn't get stored in your body, it's instantly used as energy. MCT oil, your diet ally

MCTオイル

Almost tasteless and odorless, transparent MCT oil.

MCT is an acronym for "Medium Chain Triglyceride." MCT oil is a 100% MCT oil that is made by refining only MCT from oils that contain a lot of medium chain fatty acids, such as coconut oil and palm oil.

Compared to the long-chain fatty acids found in most vegetable oils and lard, medium-chain fatty acids have a shorter length, making them more compatible with water.

It enters the liver directly from the small intestine via the portal vein and is immediately broken down into energy. Therefore, it is said to be a good oil for dieting. On the other hand, long-chain fatty acids are transported throughout the body, including adipose tissue and muscles, and are stored in various locations in the body.

This oil has a faint coconut scent.

Hemp seed oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids

ヘンプオイル

Hemp seed oil is an oil made from the seeds of hemp (industrial hemp). By the way, CBD is extracted from hemp seeds and stems. It's a little confusing.

Unrefined hemp seed oil has a dark green color because it contains chlorophyll. The purified product is light green in color. It has a bluish, nutty taste, and you may either like it or dislike it.

The main components of hemp seed oil are linoleic acid (about 50%) and alpha-linolenic acid (about 20%).

What I would like to focus on is α-linolenic acid, which is a representative omega-3 fatty acid. One of the essential fatty acids that cannot be produced by the human body. Recently, it has become common to see vegetable oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as perilla oil and flaxseed oil being sold in supermarkets as being ``good for health.''

It is also useful for alleviating allergy symptoms such as atopic dermatitis and hay fever, improving constipation, and improving mental health such as depression. It is also expected to be a good oil for dieting because it does not accumulate in the body.

It also contains gamma-linolenic acid, which is said to help relieve allergies and PMS (premenstrual syndrome).


Both MCT oil and hemp seed oil are very good for your mind and body. Beginners may find it easier to use MCT oil, which is tasteless and odorless, but since only a small amount is ingested as CBD oil, the taste may not be so noticeable. Which one do you prefer?
