Choosing a CBD Product

When choosing a CBD product there are 3 factors to consider:

 

  1. The strength of the product.
  2. The type of extract used or the 'profile' of the product.
  3. The format of the product, be it oils, capsules, paste or edibles.

What Strength CBD Product Should You Choose?

Despite the enormous amount of research into CBD, the 'perfect' dose of CBD has not been agreed upon to date. As odd as it initially sounds, this is actually quite normal when new supplements are being studied and regulated for the first time.

Until the optimal dose is determined, we recommend a by-bodyweight common sense approach to CBD dosage.

As a general rule of thumb, this means:

The heavier you are, the more CBD you will need per serving

If you seek larger effects, you should consider larger doses of CBD per serving and perhaps multiple servings per day.

Once the CBD-rich oil is obtained, it undergoes further processing to remove any residual solvents or impurities. This purification step ensures the final product is safe and pure for consumption. The concentrated CBD extract is then mixed with a carrier oil, such as MCT oil or hemp seed oil, to create a paste-like consistency. The final CBD paste is incredibly potent, with a high CBD concentration, making it suitable for those seeking a powerful CBD experience. Users typically take small amounts of CBD paste orally or add it to other products like edibles or topicals to enjoy its potential benefits.

When Should You Take CBD?

CBD isolate is the purest form of cannabidiol, devoid of any other cannabinoids, terpenes, or plant compounds. It is produced through a precise extraction and purification process. Initially, CBD is extracted from hemp plants using methods like CO2 extraction. This crude extract undergoes a series of filtration and winterization steps to remove impurities, waxes, and plant material.

The key step in creating CBD isolate is a process called chromatography or crystallization, where the CBD is isolated and separated from the remaining compounds. This results in the formation of CBD crystals or a fine white powder that consists of nearly 100% pure CBD. The final product is flavorless and odorless, making it ideal for those who want to benefit from CBD without any trace of other hemp components or THC. CBD isolate is versatile and can be consumed directly, mixed with other products, or used to create custom CBD formulations with precise dosing.
