Mellow Fellow Mixers

How Nano-Emulsified THC Mixers Hit Faster

THC is oil-based and does not dissolve in water on its own, which is why standard edibles lean on slow digestion and produce a delayed, uneven kick. Mellow Fellow mixers use nano-emulsification, breaking the cannabinoids into droplets small enough to blend into water and absorb faster.

A 2025 crossover study in the Journal of Cannabis Research backs the approach up: researchers found that a self-nanoemulsifying THC and CBD powder more than doubled cannabinoid bioavailability and reached peak blood levels far faster than oil-based drops. In practice, most people feel a mixer in 10 to 15 minutes. Our explainer on how nano-emulsified beverages hit faster goes deeper on the chemistry.

The three-cannabinoid blend is the other half of the story. CBD and CBG are both non-intoxicating and shape how the Delta 9 THC feels. Research on cannabidiol and THC has shown that CBD can temper some of THC’s sharper, more anxious edges, which is one reason a balanced drink feels more social than raw THC alone.

CBG, often called the mother cannabinoid, has its own profile: a 2022 pharmacology review describes CBG as non-intoxicating with a distinct, clearer character. The mixer formula also carries Lion’s Mane, magnesium L-threonate, zinc, and B-12. To read more on how the pieces work together, see our guide to the entourage effect.
