Question 1

What is CBD?

Accepted Answer

CBD or Cannabidiol, is an extract from the hemp plant. CBD does not contain high amounts of the psychoactive (and in many states illegal) component of marijuana - THC.

By federal law, all CBD and hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC. Fortunately, all of our CBD products are completely THC-free, giving you the peace of mind that comes from quality you can trust!

Question 2

How is CBD made?

Accepted Answer

Hemp must be decarboxylated to release the active CBD component. This is just a fancy chemistry term, that means the plant must be treated either by heat or another extraction method.

Our CBD oil is extracted using only CO2, no chemical solvents, no heat, and no rancid oils, which allows all of the good stuff to stay, while removing trace toxins, and chlorophyll (which often leaves a bitter taste).

We take our product one step further to remove all traces of THC as well!

Question 3

What's the difference between Isolate, Full Spectrum, and Broad Spectrum CBD?"

Accepted Answer

CBD isolate only contains only cannabidiol. No other beneficial cannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids, compounds that may act synergistically with cannabidiol. It goes through a rigorous extraction method to remove everything but the CBD isolate.

Full Spectrum CBD contains the other synergistic components of the plant, but also may contain up to 0.3% of the psychoactive compound THC, which may be of concern to some individuals.

Broad Spectrum CBD contains all the good stuff, and none of the bad stuff. Zero THC, but all the beneficial components of the plant, in a form usable by the body. It costs more to produce than the other two forms, but the quality and purity is worth it!

Question 4

How does CBD work in the body?

Accepted Answer

There are CBD-targeted receptors all over the body, much like other receptors. Of the two types CB1 and CB2, CB1 receptors are more concentrated in the brain, spinal cord, thyroid, upper airways, liver, adrenals, ovaries, uterus, prostate, and testes.  CB2 receptors are found more concentrated in the eyes, stomach, heart, pancreas, digestive tract, and bones.

CBD is broken down by the liver into it's active metabolites which primarily target CB1 receptors.

Question 5

What is CBD good for?

Accepted Answer

Federal and state laws limit recommending CBD oil to treat any diseases or conditions, however, there is a growing body of research being done to study the effects of CBD oil on: insomnia, chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, arthritis, epilepsy, migraines, chemotherapy side effects, mood, appetite, gut health, OCD and PTSD, and various other areas.

As always, consult with your doctor whenever researching diseases or conditions.
