CBD, in full cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive substance found in the CBD plant. This important cannabinoid is extracted from the flower tops and leaves of (fiber) hemp, a legally grown hemp variety. CBD oil consists of hemp seed oil and hemp paste – a pure formula that is easy to take.
What is hemp, CBD and THC?
THC and CBD are substances from the hemp plant. The source may be the same, but these different substances have completely different effects. THC oil is also called CBD oil and its psychoactive effect on the brain makes you stoned. CBD, on the other hand, can’t get you stoned. CBD is not addictive and is legally available in pharmacies and drugstores. There are also no known side effects that CBD oil could cause.
How does CBD oil work?
How CBD oil works depends on several factors, such as the form and how much percent CBD the oil contains. Dropping CBD under your tongue works the fastest, as the compounds are then absorbed into your blood by your salivary glands. The dosage and strength of the CBD also affect absorption.
Everyone reacts differently to CBD, therefore there is no clear answer on how much CBD oil you should use per day. We recommend starting with a low dosage and building it up to the dosage that is right for you.
CBD supplements
CBD Drops are the most commonly used form of CBD. The use is simple: drop the recommended dosage under your tongue. Keep the CBD oil in your mouth for a small minute before swallowing, this way the active substances are optimally absorbed through your mucous membranes. Many people like this way of taking CBD oil, because you can dose the CBD per drop. At Holland & Barrett you can buy drops with as much as 15% CBD, but of course there are also low-dose drops with 2.8% CBD available.
Some people don’t like the all-natural taste of CBD. In that case a CBD supplement in capsule form is a good option, this is actually CBD oil without the taste!
