What is CBD?
What is CBD? And do they work? In this article, we answer the questions of what, how and why.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in hemp that is increasingly being studied for its potential benefits to human well-being. In today’s world, where we face stress and tension daily, CBD hemp oil may help support the body’s balance and overall wellness.
Our bodies have an endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for key functions such as sleep quality, hormonal balance, immune and nervous system activity, digestion, and circulation. To optimally support this system, the body naturally produces endocannabinoids. CBD oil, extracted from hemp, contains phytocannabinoids that may help support the ECS, and some users report that it helps them relax, sleep better, and feel improved overall.
Due to its structure, CBD can easily interact with our bodies and support the maintenance of natural balance. Looking for a reliable and natural solution? Buying CBD hemp oil from Hempo is a great way to take care of your health and well-being.

Hempo CBD oil is a premium-quality product made from carefully selected, specially bred hemp varieties grown in Switzerland. These hemp plants are processed using an advanced double extraction method that ensures maximum purity and effectiveness. We collaborate with Swiss hemp industry experts and use the latest technologies to create CBD products of the highest quality.
Quality standards are what set Hempo CBD oil apart. All our products are developed in accordance with the highest international requirements, including ISO 9001 quality assurance and the Swiss Certified Cannabis (SCC) system. Moreover, all hemp is grown following organic farming principles, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Hempo CBD oil is crafted to the highest quality standards – a product grown by nature, perfected by science, and made with exceptional care to ensure purity and premium quality.
The high quality and effectiveness of CBD oil depend on two key factors. The first is that CBD hemp oil must be extracted from specialized industrial hemp varieties with a carefully developed genetic profile, allowing the plants to produce high levels of CBD, other cannabinoids, and terpenes. The second is a properly chosen extraction method that allows these compounds to be extracted without being damaged.
Hempo CBD hemp oil is produced using a two-phase CO₂ extraction method. First, a subcritical CO₂ extraction is performed, which captures delicate terpenes while preserving their structure and properties. In the second stage, a supercritical CO₂ extraction is used - considered one of the most effective methods for extracting cannabinoids.
High CBD product quality is one of the main goals of the Hempo team. We pursue it regardless of the complexity of the production process, because it allows us to create products that stand out in the market for their quality and effectiveness.

Learn the key differences between CBD oil types and their effectiveness
When choosing a CBD product, it's helpful to consider not only the percentage concentration but also how many milligrams of CBD are in each drop. The higher the concentration, the more CBD you get per drop:
5% CBD oil: ~2.5 mg
10% CBD oil: ~5 mg
15% CBD oil: ~7.5 mg
20% CBD oil: ~10 mg
30% CBD oil: ~15 mg
40% CBD oil: ~20 mg
The effects may vary depending on factors such as body weight, individual tolerance, or the purpose of use. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring molecule found in hemp plants. It was discovered in 1940 and continues to be actively researched for its potential effects on the human body.
CBD is commonly used in cosmetic products and, in some countries, also in pharmaceuticals. Although it is derived from hemp, it does not have a psychoactive effect and is legal in many countries worldwide, including Lithuania.
CBD products can serve various purposes - from cosmetic applications to dietary supplements -depending on the regulations of each country. For example, in cosmetics, CBD is often used for skincare.
In some countries, CBD is also used as a dietary supplement. However, in Lithuania, CBD is classified as a “novel food”, which means Hempo CBD products should only be used as directed on their packaging.
Yes. According to the amendments to the Lithuanian Law on Hemp No. XII-336, CBD products, their sale, and use are allowed. However, it is important to note that the content of the psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in these products must not exceed 0.2%. Here you can find the laboratory test results of our products.
Usage instructions may vary depending on the type and concentration of the product, so always follow the information provided on the packaging or in the product description. It is recommended to gently shake the bottle before use.
CBD effects can be individual – some users start with a lower amount and gradually increase it while monitoring how they feel. In some countries, it is advised not to exceed 200 mg of CBD per day, but it's always best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
It's also important to know that CBD’s effects may develop gradually, especially during first-time use – this depends on individual factors.
The onset time of CBD product effects can vary depending on the product form, method of use, and individual body characteristics.
CBD oil usually starts to take effect within 15–30 minutes.
CBD capsules may begin to work within 40–90 minutes.
CBD patches have a gradual effect – in some cases, sensations are noticed only after a few hours.
Some clinical studies indicate that CBD is generally well-tolerated, but each person’s body may react differently. Although side effects are rare, some users may experience symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite, or skin irritation.
If you notice an unwanted reaction, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult a doctor if needed.
Additionally, it’s important to note that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has included CBD on its list of permitted substances, meaning it is considered safe for use by professional athletes under current regulations.
Full-spectrum CBD oil features a wide range of natural compounds from the hemp plant – it contains not only CBD but also other cannabinoids such as CBG and CBN, as well as terpenes and flavonoids.
This type of oil is often associated with the so-called “Entourage Effect,” which describes the interaction of multiple compounds within the same formula. It is believed that this synergy may influence the overall user experience, although effects can vary depending on individual factors.
Broad-spectrum CBD oil is an extract that typically retains several or more compounds from the hemp plant (such as cannabinoids and terpenes), but THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) has been removed.
In Hempo’s broad-spectrum CBD oil, a significant amount of phytocannabinoids and terpenes is preserved, while THC is absent (undetectable according to third-party laboratory tests).
No. Hemp oil and CBD oil are two different products. Hemp oilis extracted from hemp seeds and is mostly used in food production, valued for its omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Meanwhile, CBD oilis extracted from hemp flowers and leaves and is valued for the beneficial cannabinoids it contains. These two oils have completely different effects and uses. You can learn more about the effects of CBD oil by reading this article.
