What is CBD ?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a molecule found in the hemp plant that has been shown to have positive benefits for the human body in numerous scientific studies. Discovered in 1940 and is widely studied in the scientific community to this day. CBD is used in cosmetics, nutritional supplements, and even medicine.
Although derived from hemp, CBD has no psychotropic effects. This material is legal in many countries, including Lithuania.
What is CBD used for ?
CBD and its products have a very wide range of uses, from cosmetics that can help treat dry skin, acne, signs of aging, and strengthen the condition and structure of nails and hair. Cannabidiol is used as a food supplement in many countries around the world and is valued for its sedative properties - it can improve sleep disorders (its quality), reduce anxiety or even depression. What's more, many clinical studies have shown that the use of CBD can have a positive effect in the treatment of various disorders or diseases, you can read about it here.
CBD extract interacts with the human endocannabinoid system, helping to restore and maintain the balance of physical and psychological functions. Read more about it in thisarticle.
Is CBD legal in Lithuania ?
Yes. Pursuant to the Fibrous Hemp Law of the Republic of Lithuania no. According to amendments XII-336, CBD hemp oil products, their sale and use are allowed, but it is important to know that the amount of the psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in these products must not exceed 0.2% - here you can find the results of laboratory tests of our products .
How to use CBD ?
We recommend using it regularly, dropping the amount of drops specified in the product description on the selected area of the epidermis, 2 times a day (morning and evening), shaking before use. Please note that we all have different desired effects and tolerance levels for different concentrations of CBD products, so we suggest starting with the lowest recommended amount and gradually increasing it if needed, but do not exceed 200 mg of CBD per day.
Keep in mind that if you are using CBD for the first time, you may not feel the effect immediately, - your endocannabinoid receptors need to adapt to phytocannabinoids (CBD), this may take up to several days.
According to the European Commission directive, Cannabidiol is classified as a "novel food", so no products containing CBD can be used as a food supplement.
How long does it take for CBD to start working ?
- CBD oil usually starts working within 15 minutes.
- The effect of CBD capsules is felt after 40-90 minutes.
- The CBD patch starts working immediately, but it may take 4-8 hours to relieve muscle or joint pain.
Can CBD products cause side effects ?
Many clinical studies have proven that CBD products are safe to use, but it is no secret that everyone's body is different and although it is very unlikely, minor side effects may occur, e.g. reddening of the skin, in which case we recommend discontinuing use and consulting a family physician before continuing with CBD use.
It should also be noted that the World Anti-Doping Agency has added cannabidiol (CBD) to the list of substances allowed for use by athletes.
What is Full-spectrum CBD oil ?
This type of CBD oil has the widest composition of cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN, etc.), including terpenes and flavanoids. This type of CBD extract is considered the most effective because it has the greatest "entourage (synergy) effect" of cannabinoids. This effect leads to greater effectiveness of CBD. It occurs because the co-cannabinoids in Full Spectrum CBD oil work together to enhance the effects of CBD on the body.
What is Broad-spectrum CBD oil ?
This type of CBD oil does not have a specific composition definition, so it can mean that the extract contains only a few cannabinoids and/or terpenes, or that it contains more of the various compounds and cannabinoids of the hemp plant.
Hempo broad-spectrum CBD oil retains the vast majority of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes, but completely removes the cannabinoid THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).
Are hemp oil and CBD oil the same ?
No. Hemp oil and CBD oil are two different products. Hemp oil is extracted from hemp seeds and is mostly used in food production, valued for its omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Meanwhile, CBD oil is extracted from hemp flowers and leaves and is valued for the beneficial cannabinoids it contains. These two oils have completely different effects and uses.
