CBD is the term used for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring chemical compound (also known as a cannabinoid) found in cannabis plants. Many cannabinoids are found in these plants, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBG (cannabigerol), and CBN (cannabinol). However, CBD has become particularly popular for its use in various natural supplements.

While CBD is a product of these plants, you’ll usually find it extracted from hemp plants and used in products such as oils, topicals, edibles, and more.

We categorically do not make any medical claims here – however, there is a lot of peer reviewed information out there relating to the use of CBD.

Progress in this area as resulted in the changes in the use of hemp based products, the growth of an associated economy and changes in legislation to facilitate the growth of a wholesale hemp market.

There is no established lethal dose of CBD, and chronic use/high doses of up to 1500 mg per day (30x  MORE than the COR Serving Standard!) have been repeatedly shown to be well tolerated by humans.

The most important things to do before taking CBD (or any other herbal product) are research any possible drug interactions and talk with your physician to address any additional questions regarding CBD drug interactions or overdose concerns. You and your doctor together will always know best!

Yes, there are specific CBD products intended for animals, so it’s best not to give your pets CBD products designed for human consumption – just as is the case for any supplement. These may be harder for them to consume or ingest, and they may also need a lower dose.

There’s a lot of confusion when it comes to CBD and marijuana, especially as the two are closely related. CBD is one of over a hundred cannabinoids that can be found in cannabis plants, including marijuana plants. However, whereas marijuana is mostly known for its psychoactive effects, CBD produces none of these.

It’s the THC in marijuana that makes users high when they consume the plant. CBD, on the other hand, is non-psychoactive and does not make users high. While many marijuana strains contain CBD, CBD products are usually extracted from hemp plants which contain high levels of CBD with low levels of THC. Legal, hemp-based products contain less than 0.3% THC (EU ruling), meaning they won’t give you any of the effects you’d generally expect from marijuana.

CBD is as safe for children as it is for adults. Children will probably need lower doses than adults due to their lower body weight, as far as we know there are no risks attached.

Just as with any kind of supplement, users may worry about the potential drawbacks and side effects of CBD. However, unlike substances such as THC, CBD is very safe to use with no risk at all of harm to your health. Studies have found that the vast majority of humans can use CBD without any side effects, although some very minor side effects are occasionally reported, such as diarrhoea and changes in appetite.

In our oils the following breakdowns should help

1000mgs x10ml 10% – 5mg per drop so a smaller dose 5mg x 1 drops, a perfect mid range 10mg x 2 drops and high dose 20mg or x4 drops.

1500mgs x 30ml 5% –  1 drop is about 2.5mg per drop 2 drops 5mg and so on.

When administering the oral cosmetic drops below your tongue, you need to keep them there for 60 to 90 seconds.
