How to choose CBD oil or drops?

CBD oils are still enjoying their popularity and more and more people are reaching for these products due to their positive health benefits. If you are looking to get one, you must be wondering how to choose CBD oil. Yes, it’s not rocket science, but if you’re not fully versed in this “world”, you might be in a bit of a mess. In this article, we’ll take a look at CBD oils, their effects, and also how to choose CBD oil.

What CBD oils do we know?

Before even answering the question of how to choose CBD oil, you need to know that there are several types of CBD oil. CBD oils are divided into CBD isolates, full spectrum and broad spectrum CDB oils. Let’s talk about them in a nutshell.

CBD isolate

This extract contains only CBD and does not contain any other cannabinoids, terpenes or other substances found in cannabis plants. CBD isolate is often in the form of a white powder and can be added to a variety of products, including oils, creams or capsules. It is the purest form of CBD without the presence of THC.

Full spectrum CBD

Full spectrum CBD oil is the most complex hemp oil that contains multiple cannabinoids, but also all other natural compounds found in the cannabis plant, terpenes, flavonoids, minerals, antioxidants. However, it also contains trace amounts of THC. By containing a broad spectrum of the above-mentioned substances, it provides a synergistic effect, which is called the ‘entourage effect’. This means that these compounds work together to enhance and amplify the effects.

Broad spectrum CBD

Broad spectrum CBD is a form of hemp oil that contains a number of different cannabinoids and terpenes found in the cannabis plant, in addition to THC. This means that it contains a broad spectrum of compounds that can work together to enhance the effectiveness of CBD, without containing the psychoactive substance THC.

CBD oils from Liptov

What are these CBD oils from Liptov? The answer to this question is very easy. Hemp Farm Liptov grows certified varieties of hemp that contain less than 0.2% THC. Hemp is grown in the heart of Liptov without pesticides, purely on an organic basis and without chemical additives. In order to produce CBD oil and hemp products, the hemp is harvested by hand here, and this is to preserve the terpenes and crystals that bring so many benefits to humans.

The difference between CBD oil and hemp oil

Did you know that hemp oil and CBD oil are not one and the same? Because many people don’t distinguish between the two. However, if you were to buy hemp oil and you were under the impression that you were essentially buying CBD oil, you are mistaken. The difference between CBD oil and hemp oil is that hemp oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant and contains only a small amount of CBD. CBD oil, on the other hand, is extracted from the flowers, leaves and stems of the hemp plant and contains a significant amount of CBD. So, if you are looking for an oil that will have therapeutic effects on your body, you need to buy CBD oil.

THC versus CBD

THC, in short, is a psychoactive compound that causes a narcotic effect, making a person essentially “high”. In addition, THC does not provide therapeutic effects. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound and has a positive effect on the human body. It helps fight some health problems. However, as we have mentioned several times, CBD also contains trace amounts of THC. However, legislation allows a THC content in CBD of less than 0.2%, which we maintain.

CBD versus CBG

Since we’ve been talking about what CBD (cannabidiol) is throughout this article, we’ll talk a little bit more about CBG, which is also known as cannabigerol, in this section. CBG is one of the many cannabinoids that are present in cannabis. However, it is exclusively extracted from young plants and, compared to CBD oils, CBG is rarer. However, it is less concentrated in cannabis compared to other cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, but its unique effects and potential make it a very interesting nutritional supplement that helps with conditions such as glaucoma, suppresses inflammation, stimulates appetite, and more.

Effects of CBD oils

CBD has many health benefits. But not to belabor the point, but in short, they can provide pain relief, improve sleep, fight anxiety and depression, have antioxidant effects, and so on. We’ve covered more about the effects of cannabidiol in the blog article itself. If you want to learn more about the effects of CBD on human health, we talked more about them here.

CBD oil dosage

If you want to know how to choose CBD oil, you also need to know its dosage. Choosing CBD oil also depends on whether you are a beginner, but also your height and weight.

First of all, CBD oils are divided into 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 percent.

Understandably, if you are a complete beginner or are underweight and shorter in stature, we recommend you start with 5% CBD oil. Over time, you can then move up to a higher concentration, such as 20% or 30% (for men or people with more severe health problems).

It is not recommended to start with, for example, 30% oil as it may make you nauseous or dizzy (but this is individual).

Our drops have a dropper where one drop of 5% CBD oil typically contains approximately 2.5 mg of CBD.

Here are the recommended doses:

• Prevention: 2 – 15 mg of CBD oil per day
• Immunity support: 2 – 15 mg of CBD oil per day
• Depression: 5 – 15 mg of CBD oil per day
• Chronic pain: 5 – 25 mg of CBD oil daily
• Sleep and anxiety: 5 – 15 mg of CBD oil daily
• Serious illnesses: 25 – 100 mg of CBD oil per day

How to choose the right CBD oil?

Well, if you’ve made it this far, you may already have a rough idea of how to choose the CBD oil that would be right for you. At the very least, you’ll be able to choose CBD oil based on its concentration and dosage. And how else can you choose the right CBD oil?

• Source and origin of the product – You should give preference to producers who have a good reputation, who grow approved cannabis and use legitimate production practices.
• Composition and cannabinoid content – Keep an eye on the labels and ensure that the oil will contain a significant amount of CBD and minimal THC.
• Quality of extraction – CBD oils should be extracted in a gentle way, such as CO2 extraction, to preserve all the beneficial compounds.
• Customer reviews and experiences – Well, importantly, these are other people’s reviews. Read them on the internet or if you know someone you know who has tried the products, ask for their opinion.
