Top Five Most Frequently Asked Questions About CBD

CBD’s popularity is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to its impressive list of potential benefits. With a steady increase in popularity, information is getting easier to find, but it can also be a little time-consuming and somewhat frustrating trying to differentiate between the many different kinds of products and finding the answers to your questions.

So here are the top five most frequently asked questions about CBD answered!

1. What’s The Difference Between CBD Oil And Hemp Oil?

Several things need clarification here. First, CBD can be extracted from either hemp or marijuana, CBD is only one of 113 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Because marijuana plants contain high levels of THC, the compound responsible for getting you “high” when looking for potential benefits of CBD, and without any risk of getting high, you will need to choose a hemp sourced CBD product.

Hemp oil contains CBD making the term “CBD Oil” and “Hemp Oil” interchangeable within the industry. When selecting a hemp oil product, it’s important to know how many milligrams of CBD that product contains.

The most important thing to understand is the difference between CBD hemp oil and hemp seed oil. Hemp seed oil does not contain any CBD, and even though hemp seed oil has its place in cooking and skincare, it doesn’t offer the same potential health benefits as CBD that is extracted from the stalks and stems of hemp plants.

2. What’s The Difference Between Full-Spectrum CBD And CBD Isolate Products?

Generally speaking, CBD isolate is CBD in its purest form and even though many CBD experts believe full-spectrum products offer the most potential benefits, both have their own amazing benefits. Being familiar with the similarities and differences can better help you decide on which product type is right for you.

Full-Spectrum CBD

When you chose a full-spectrum CBD product, that product will contain all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals of the original hemp source. All of these compounds combined multiply the potential health benefits of each of the product’s components, this is known as the entourage effect. Full-spectrum CBD also contains omega-3 fatty acids and all 20 essential amino acids.

Full-spectrum CBD could contain trace amounts of THC, up to 0.3% but never enough to cause intoxication, whereas marijuana contains between 5 – 30%. Some people do feel a bit uncomfortable ingesting even trace amounts of THC so this is why CBD isolate is a good option for them.

CBD Isolate

CBD isolate is cannabidiol in its purest form, a full-spectrum product that has been further refined to remove the plant compounds and what remains is a white powder that is nearly 99% pure CBD. Here are some advantages of using CBD isolate:

• Even Trace Amounts Of THC Have Been Removed

• No Flavor Or Odor

• Perfect For People Who Don’t Like The Taste Of CBD ( I have never experienced a really bad tasting CBD )

• Precise Control Over CBD Levels Contained Within A Product

3. So Why Do People Use CBD?

CBD’s potential to supplement and balance a person’s endocannabinoid system is the main reason someone would use it. The endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that helps to keep our bodies in balance, this is known as homeostasis. A few important functions that are regulated by this system include the sensation of pain, memory, how we respond emotionally, neuroprotection, sleep, and immune system function.

Research has found that endocannabinoid deficiencies are responsible for many chronic health issues. In a perfect world, our bodies would make all of the neurotransmitters ( endocannabinoids ) to keep everything working smoothly. Since there are actually two endocannabinoids, anandamide and 2-AG produced in our bodies, under stress or the stress of being ill, our bodies may need more neurotransmitters than they create.

And since our bodies respond to the cannabinoids in cannabis, CBD from hemp has the potential to supplement any endocannabinoid deficiencies, which also explains the long list of potential health benefits.

4. Which CBD Product Is Right For Me?

The CBD product that might be right for you will be the one that best suits your needs and lifestyle. Now more than ever, there is a wide variety of CBD products available on the market, some of the more popular ones are:

• CBD Isolates

CBD isolates are easy to add to many recipes such as candies, baked goods, or vape e-liquids. CBD isolates or products made with isolates are often preferred by people who are concerned about trace amounts of THC found in full-spectrum products.

• Full-Spectrum CBD Tinctures

You can take full-spectrum CBD tinctures sublingually ( under the tongue ) or mix them with food. Many CBD experts feel that full-spectrum products are the most beneficial because of the entourage effect.

• Capsules And Softgels

Capsules and softgels are great for people who want convenience. When you choose a CBD capsule or softgel you never have to worry about getting your preferred dose.

• Vape Pens And Vape Cartridges

Vaping CBD bypasses the digestive process, so the effects are felt within minutes. If you choose a vape product you have the option of disposable vape pens, rechargeable pens with pre-filled cartridges, or CBD vape e-liquids that you can use with your favorite vape gear.

• Topical CBD Products

Topical products allow you to target specific areas on your body that are in need of potential benefits. CBD has also been shown to protect skin from free radicals that cause skin aging, sagging, and wrinkles.

5. How Much CBD Should I Be Taking?

It will take a little time and patience to determine what your optimal dosage might be. Everyone is different, so what works well for someone else may be too much or too little for you. While there is no danger in taking more CBD than you need, it has been found, however, that more CBD doesn’t necessarily improve your results. It’s always a good idea to start slowly and increase dosage as needed over time.

When you choose capsules or softgels the dosage is premeasured. Taken once a day, you would be taking a dose of 25 or 30mg a day. You can gauge the dosage in a 200mg vape cartridge at about 2mg per puff. When selecting a full-spectrum CBD tincture, your dosage will be determined by the amount of CBD in the bottle.

Most CBD manufacturers typically don’t suggest dosages, some sources suggest starting at a low dose, around 25 – 30mg per day while you asses your results. When trying to determine what dosage is right for your particular needs, if you do not experience the results you are looking for after 3 -4 hours, then you can safely increase the amount of CBD taken with your next dose. In time you will find the dose of CBD that ideally suits your needs.
