CBD oil is made by extracting CBD isolates from industrial hemp and then infused into a carrier oil. There are many ways to extract CBD isolates from raw hemp material – some methods allow the retention of other beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes. The carrier oil is usually a type of coconut-based oil or palm kernel oil. To learn more, checkout What is CBD?

CBD oil works by interacting with a bodily system known as the endocannabinoid system (or ECS). The primary function of our ECS is to maintain homeostasis, which is our bodies' natural balance to perform and operate efficiently against external and internal stressors.

Hemp-based CBD oil is usually THC-free* – meaning that there aren't enough traceable amounts of THC to be detected through scientific testing. And CBD oil is often derived from industrial hemp, which must contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, according to federal law.

It’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, including CBD, especially if you’re on medication. They can help ensure that CBD will not interact with your current regimen.

There are several options when determining where to buy CBD– websites, specialty shops, pharmacies, dispensaries, and even convenience stores or gas stations. But wherever you decide to buy from, be sure you are purchasing from a reputable CBD manufacturer that accurately lists its ingredients, extraction methods, and lab results.

Selecting the right premium CBD product depends on your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors like the type of product (gummies, oil tinctures, capsules, topicals), dosage, and desired effects. If you’re unsure, start with a lower dose and adjust as needed.
