Are you feeling overwhelmed by the plethora of CBD products on the market? Do terminologies like full-spectrum, isolate, and broad-spectrum confuse you? Fear not, as this guide is here to unravel the mysteries of CBD and provide clarity for bewildered customers.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its counterpart, THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce a "high" sensation. Because it does not contain THC, it will not show up on a drug test.
CBD has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety, alleviating pain, and improving sleep quality.
Types of CBD Products
There are three main types of CBD products: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate. Full-spectrum CBD contains all the naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of THC. Broad-spectrum CBD also contains multiple cannabinoids and terpenes, but with zero THC. CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD, containing only cannabidiol without any other compounds.
The type of CBD you choose is based on preference. If you take routine drug tests for work, you would probably prefer a CBD isolate. Herbstrong Products will never contain THC.
One of our most commonly asked questions, "Will CBD oil show up on a drug test?" If you order from Herbstrong, no it won't. We can't speak for other companies as we do not know what their processes are.
Choosing the Right Product
When selecting a CBD product, it's essential to consider factors such as the product's potency, extraction method, and third-party lab testing. Look for products that have been tested for purity and potency by an independent lab. Start with a low dosage and gradually increase until you find the optimal amount for your needs.
It's also important to consider the way you are comfortable ingesting CBD and what your personal goals are. For example, if you do not feel comfortable putting CBD under your tongue and you are looking for relief from occasional muscle strain, we would suggest our CBD Cream that is applied topically.
Understanding Dosage
Dosage recommendations for CBD can vary depending on factors such as body weight, metabolism, and the condition being treated. It's recommended to start with a low dosage (around 10-20mg) and increase gradually. Visit our FAQ page for specific dosing guides for each product or feel free to reach out to us if you have additional questions! Our top priority is your comfort and peace of mind.
Potential Benefits and Side Effects
Research suggests that CBD may offer a range of potential benefits, including reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and improving mood. However, it's essential to note that CBD can also have side effects, such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and changes in appetite. If you have concerns, we recommend that you consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD into your wellness routine.
By understanding the basics of CBD, navigating the world of CBD products becomes much simpler. Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed decisions when choosing CBD products. Remember to choose products that align with you and offer support on your wellness journey.
