CBD is short for cannabidiol. Its a non-intoxicating chemical compound found naturally in the Cannabis plant. There are over 100 other compounds that can be found in the plant including amino acids, terpenes, THC and CBG.
CBG is short for cannabigerol. CBG is commonly found a lot less in the cannabis plant. Its the precursor to many other compounds such as CBD/THC/CBC. Its considered the “mother” of cannabinoids because it is the first cannabinoid produced by the cannabis plant.
No, CBD and CBG is non-intoxicating. Even though it comes from the same plant that also produces the psycho-active THC they are different compounds with different effects.
Yes but fear not my friend. Like with most things in life, it is okay in the right amount. The THC content of each bottle is limited to 0.2% as with EU and UK law. This is such a small amount that it will not get you “high”. We appreciate that some people don't want it in their diet altogether and we respect that, which is why we provide isolates which have no THC in at all.
Possibly the most important bit of information. For many years hemp/marijuana/cannabis have all been used to express the same thing, mainly with negative associations, so lets break it down so you know the truth. Marijuana and Hemp are both varieties of the Cannabis plant. The difference is that Marijuana contains high amount of THC (the psychoactive compound we discussed earlier) and Hemp contains low levels of THC (0.2% for it to be classed as a hemp plant).
Side effects are minimal and vary from person to person. This is dependent on what dosage you are taking, so as you start off, we advise 2 drops, twice a day. This way you're more aware of the effects you may feel, positive or negative. Those reported have included:
-Drowsiness
-Dry mouth
100% yes. As long as it contains less than 0.2% THC per bottle and is derived from a hemp plant then its good to go!
CBD/CBG are chemical compounds found naturally in Cannabis CBD/CBG is not the same as the psychoactive compound THC and will NOT get you “high” Hemp and Marijuana are 2 different varieties of the same plant, they are not the same thing. THC is considered okay for daily use when capped at 0.2% Reported side effects included drowsiness and dry mouth Our oils are legal.
A quick backstory, In the 90s, scientists discovered that we have an Endocannabinoid system(ECS) in our bodies and that produces its own cannabinoids. Our ECS includes a very complex network of enzymes, receptors and neurotransmitters and its all over the body, with its goal to maintain balance within many different organ systems. So when CBD/CBG enters your body, they communicate with your ECS to help maintain balance. CBD works more “indirectly” with your ECS and CBG works more “directly” with your ECS. See our How it works for more detail
No our products are all Isolates. Meaning that the chemical THC (the one most associated with giving you a head high) is removed.
We source our hemp from the EU. Our CBG hemp from Spain and our CBD from Poland both grown organically and pesticide free.
No they are different. CBD oil uses a large portion of the plant above ground to extract the CBD whereas hemp seed oil is just the seeds.
Lets be clear, this is no quick fix. The purpose of this oil is to improve your own wellbeing. Remember it works to maintain balance in your body through the endocannabinoid system (ECS). For the best results we recommended including our CBD or CBG (or both) into you every day routine for the best long term results.
Theres no right answer to this. We recommended taking it regularly at the same time so it becomes a habit, so the compound effects will benefit you in the long term. I take mine before my morning coffee, after lunch, then about 20 minutes before bed. It has to work for you though, so experiment with your day to day and figure out whens best for you.
Again, there is no right answer to this. As an individual you have to figure out whats best for you. We recommend 3-4 drops, 3-4 times a day. For the first 2 weeks of trying our oils though keep it to 2 drops, twice a day until you get used to the effects. Do not exceed 16 drops per day.
To take the oils its best to drop it directly underneath your tongue, hold it there for at least 30 seconds.Hold between 2-3 minutes for the best results.
