Nano gummies work by using nanotechnology to break cannabinoid particles down to a fraction of their normal size. These smaller particles are absorbed more efficiently by the body, resulting in faster onset times and more consistent effects compared to traditional edibles.
If you have ever waited an hour or more for a regular edible to kick in — or felt nothing at all — nano technology exists to solve exactly that problem.
The Problem With Traditional Edibles
Standard hemp edibles go through your digestive system before cannabinoids enter your bloodstream. This process is slow and inconsistent for several reasons. Cannabinoids are fat-soluble, not water-soluble. Your body absorbs water-soluble compounds far more efficiently than fat-soluble ones. The digestive process can take 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on your metabolism, what you have eaten, and individual body chemistry.
The result: unpredictable onset, inconsistent effects, and for many people, feeling like the edible did not work at all.
What Is Nanotechnology in Hemp Products?
Nanotechnology in hemp refers to a process called nanoemulsification. Cannabinoid molecules are broken down into nano-sized particles — typically between 10 and 100 nanometers — and suspended in a water-compatible solution using an emulsifier.
For context: a human hair is approximately 80,000 to 100,000 nanometers wide. Nano cannabinoid particles are thousands of times smaller.
These tiny particles are water-soluble, meaning they can be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat, and more rapidly through the gut lining — bypassing some of the digestive bottlenecks that slow traditional edibles.
Why Do Nano Gummies Hit Faster?
The increased surface area of nano-sized particles means more contact points with absorption sites in the body. Combined with their water-solubility, nano cannabinoids can enter the bloodstream significantly faster than traditional edibles — often within 15 to 30 minutes for many users compared to 60 to 90 minutes or more with standard gummies.
Are Nano Gummies Stronger?
Not necessarily stronger, but more efficient. Because more of the cannabinoid is absorbed rather than passing through your system unused, you may feel effects from a lower dose than you would need with a traditional edible. This is called bioavailability — and nano formulations significantly improve it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do nano gummies take to kick in?
Most users report effects within 15 to 30 minutes, though individual results vary based on metabolism and other factors.
Are nano gummies safe?
Yes. Astria Farm’s nano gummies use food-grade emulsifiers and are tested by DEA-certified third-party labs. COAs are available for every product.
Do nano gummies wear off faster?
Some users report a faster onset and slightly shorter duration compared to traditional edibles. Start with a low dose and adjust based on your experience.
