Factors to keep in mind while shopping for CBD products

CBD products don’t rely on just one factor. There are many factors, which determine the quality of your CBD product and its effectiveness. So, let’s get to know each of them.

1. Hemp Quality

Well, it is the basic ingredient of all CBD products and hence, we can’t gamble on its quality. You will get an optimum amount of CBD and its benefits from hemp plants if you know which plant will be the best.

Generally, it is the Cannabis Sativa variant, which has the highest CBD concentration against the Cannabis Indica variant. However, you can also grow hybrid cannabis or hemp using both variants but studies on the hybrid variant are still diminutive or concealed.

These kinds of high-quality Sativa or Indica hemp plants are nurtured without pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals.

2. Extract Quality

Normally, after extraction, you get different types of extract or CBD oil with varying concentration levels. You should note that all forms will have a different amount of THC and CBD in them. THC is responsible for addiction and psychoactive effects i.e. creating a state of high or euphoria while CBD is responsible for giving you its health benefits.

CBD Isolate (having a negligible amount of THC, usually, less than 0.3%) type is the best if you want to harness the real benefits of the hemp plant. It helps with anxiety, pain relief, depression, and many other mental and health conditions, including cancerous symptoms.

The other types are Broad Spectrum CBD (also contains cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, fatty acids, and other useful compounds) and Full Spectrum CBD, which are also used for medicinal purposes but may carry a higher concentration of THC in them.

3. Dosage Value

Dosage value may be also referred to as potency i.e. the strength or power of the CBD oil. The higher the CBD oil’s potency, the more competent and effective it is. The amount of CBD in most CBD oils and products is measured in milligrams. CBD oil has the advantage of allowing consumers to alter their dosage when needed. You can just add or reduce dosage amounts accordingly.

If you are a new user of CBD oil then it is advisable to start with a low dosage amount while you can also discuss this with your doctor. Moreover, it is not recommended to use a high dosage from the beginning as your body may not be adapted to consume and withstand a high concentration of CBD.
