CBD products have become progressively common in the present market given the adoration and recognition they’ve received from specialists and customers alike. Be as it may, are all CBD items made equal? What should you look for to find high-quality CBD products?
What Is CBD?
The cannabis plant, part of the Cannabaceae family, is made of eighty chemical compounds. Of these, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the two most examined compounds. Many tend to confuse THC and CBD for each other and identify them conversely, despite the fact that the two have very different effects.
CBD and THC are known to influence the body and brain in different ways as THC has been found to increase heart rate and produce psychoactive effects, while CBD has been found to be safe and tolerable. CBD, unlike THC, won’t get you ‘high’.
While CBD has been studied extensively since it was first discovered in 1940, only until recently did it grab the attention of researchers and consumers due to the passing of the Farm Bill in 2014.
Legalising the study of hemp in the United States, The Farm Bill allowed the minimal expansion of hemp cultivation for pilot programs. However, with one key limitation – hemp-determined CBD products must contain under 0.3% THC. Described in the bill as a Cannabis plant, hemp (otherwise called industrial hemp), was approved by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and state departments of agriculture to be used for limited purposes.
In 2018, the bill was broadened by allowing hemp-derived CBD products to be sold and transported across state lines if the hemp is grown and sourced in a manner consistent with federal regulation. The Farm Bill does not put any restrictions on the possession of hemp-derived CBD products. Additionally, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) removed industrial hemp from the list of controlled substances.
Benefits of CBD
Many have found that CBD can assist in alleviating tension and calming anxiety. Some have reported that CBD has calming effects for those that experience seizures or insomnia. Those that prefer CBD rather than THC, take advantage of the benefits from the Cannabis plant without feeling ‘high’.
Known for its rejuvenating and restorative effects when addressing numerous illnesses, various studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. With the growing attention surrounding preventative care and medicine in today’s society, consumers have shifted towards products that can offer natural ingredients with all-encompassing benefits. When choosing the CBD product that is right for you, look for products that are CBD-rich rather than purified CBD.
Studies have indicated that CBD-rich products, like CBD oil, are believed to help individuals that suffer from chronic pain and inflammation. If considering to incorporate CBD into your wellness routine for health purposes, it is critical to consult with your doctor before doing so.
How Can I Use CBD?
CBD brands offer a variety of products in various forms of application and consumption. CBD is commonly applied topically or ingested as a consumable.
Topical products, typically packaged as lotions, balms, salves, lubricants and oils, and patches, can be applied externally and can easily be integrated into daily routine without much deviation. Not only are topicals simple and convenient to use, but consumers can also benefit from CBD without ingesting the product because it is quickly absorbed into the skin. A88CBD muscle salve, hydrating body lotion, lip balm, hand and foot cream, bath salts, and essential CBD oils, are topicals that can be utilised in everyday care.
CBD oil tinctures are a subcategory of ingestibles. Composed of hemp oil extract and CBD, oil tinctures are popular among those who prefer to consume CBD by placing the substance beneath the tongue and holding it in for 30-60 seconds. It’s important to note that not all CBD oil tinctures are effective and safe.
The labels on products sold in-store should include the measurement of CBD and THC, and online stores should be able to provide a background on the company, where the CBD is grown and sourced, and the ingredients in each product. All CBD products should contain less than 0.3% THC and instructions for suggested use.
A88CB offers ingestibles designed with a water soluble formula, referred to as C10, that allows for quicker absorption in less time. This unique and advanced formula makes A88CBD™ different from traditional oil tinctures that typically take up to two hours before effects can be felt.
CBD gummies, loved for their consistent dosage per serving, are popular among those who prefer to ingest CBD to benefit from their relaxing properties. Similar to CBD oil tinctures, gummies are typically offered in a variety of flavors. A88CBD gummies come in three different flavours – tart cherry, strawberry basil, and lime mango. If you’re looking for a tasty experience with added benefits, A88CBD gummies are available for online purchase.
