How to Find the Right CBD Product

How to Find the Right CBD Product - NanoCraft

CBD oil is gaining in popularity, and it's easy to understand why. Cannabidiol is increasingly linked to the alleviation of symptoms associated with some of the most severe diseases and disorders that includes Alzheimer's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), epilepsy, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease and even cancer.

CBD oil derived from hemp has become an easily attainable and affordable option to complement traditional medical treatments.

But as effective as CBD oil may be, how can you be sure you're getting the right CBD oil product for you? Considering the rapidly expanding array of CBD oil manufacturers, differentiating one high-quality product from another can be a challenge.

Luckily, there are ways to distinguish higher-quality CBD oil products over others. Here are some ways to find the best CBD oil product on the market.

How is CBD Oil Made?

Since the CBD oil industry is still in its infancy, the actual manufacturing process is not strictly regulated. That means different companies could each have their own unique CBD extraction methods.

Cheap extraction methods might mean a lower price tag for the consumer, but it could also mean compromised quality of the CBD oil. Some extraction methods could involve the use of harmful solvents, such as butane, propane or pentane which are hazardous to our health.

On the other hand, other companies use organic ethanol to process CBD and convert it into usable oil format. Ethanol is a grain alcohol that is used to remove many toxins from the hemp plant. This is widely considered to be one of the safest and most effective CBD extraction methods. Other methods involve the use of carbon dioxide under high pressure in a very cold environment. This particular extraction method requires the use of high-grade equipment and a more intricate refinement process, allowing the level of pure CBD oil to be retained.

Consumers should research the manufacturer and the production methods used before buying CBD oil. A lot of pertinent information can be found by visiting their websites or speaking with a representative of the company.

What is the Source of the CBD Product?

The actual plant source itself is an important factor to consider when finding the right CBD product to use. In the case of CBD oil, the hemp plant matters in the quality of the extracted CBD oil.

This type of plant absorbs anything in the ground that it is close to and as such, the quality of the soil will make a difference in the quality of the plant itself.

If the hemp plant is cultivated in soil that is full of harmful toxins and leads, the plant will absorb these toxins, which will then make their way into the extracted CBD oil. In this case, the finished product may actually do more harm than good, especially for those who may be more at risk for complications arising from the consumption of toxins.

Before buying CBD oil products, it's important to find out where manufacturers are sourcing their hemp. Ideally, the hemp plants will be grown in the US, since American farmers must be certified by their respective state departments.

The product manufacturer’s website should have this information readily available.

How Much THC is Present?

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), like CBD, is a cannabinoid. However, THC is a psychoactive substance that is what produces the psychoactive effect that recreational users seek.

On the other hand, CBD does not have any euphoric properties and therefore does not produce an altered state of mind. Hemp is typically used instead of marijuana to produce CBD oil because of hemp's low THC concentration compared to CBD.

Consumers looking for CBD oil that does not produce any psychoactive effects should look for products that have no more than 0.3% THC. The product's label should identify this information.

Is the CBD Oil Extracted From the Whole Plant?

Whole-plant CBD oil is extracted from the entire plant. As such, the CBD oil extracted will also contain other naturally-occurring components of the hemp plant, such as flavonoids and terpenes.

These substances are found in every part of the hemp plant, including the stem, stalks and seeds. Whole-plant CBD oil is believed to have more potent effects as all the components found in the hemp plant are said to work better when combined together along with the CBD.

On the other hand, CBD isolates are not as high in quality as whole-plant extracts.  

Consumers can check product labels to see if they are whole-plant extractions.

With a growing number of studies linking the benefits of CBD oil to several health benefits with no side effects, it's becoming an increasingly popular health and wellness product.

It can help reduce anxiety, cut down on the severity and frequency of seizures, alleviate the side effects of cancer treatments, and even promote cardiovascular health to reiterate. But where you get your CBD oil from matters. By following the above steps, you can arm yourself with much-needed information to make a more informed purchasing decision.
