CBD Oil in the UK Buyers Guide

What is CBD Oil?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of several cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. It's a key ingredient in many wellness products, including CBD oils. CBD oil is essentially a mixture of CBD distillate from hemp and a carrier oil. Our organic CBD oil is rich in additional cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, CBC, and THC. Since all of our products start as Full Spectrum after extraction, they contain all the beneficial terpenes and flavonoids that the hemp plant offers.

Our pure, natural hemp-based CBD oil works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps maintain homeostasis, the body's internal balance. It’s scientifically proven that CBD interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are naturally present in the body.

These receptors play a role in regulating functions such as memory, mood, immune response, stress management, pain relief, sleep, and motor functions. Because of these interactions, CBD oil has gained the trust of millions worldwide for relieving various symptoms.

What are the Benefits of Taking CBD Oil?

Simply put, people don't take CBD oil for fun—they use it to seek relief from issues like chronic pain, anxiety, post-cancer recovery, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), digestive problems, and more.

There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting CBD’s potential benefits, and we aim to make it easier for you to achieve them.

Is CBD Legal?

Some CBD products are legal in the UK and EU, with oral CBD drops being among them.

CBD comes from hemp, a strain of the cannabis plant known as Cannabis Sativa-L. For CBD products to be legal, they must contain less than 0.2% THC by volume.

However, since CBD products are not regulated by healthcare agencies, it's important to do your research. UK laws surrounding CBD are constantly evolving. Make sure to buy from a trusted brand, like ours, that prioritizes customer safety and product legality. All our products are fully compliant with UK laws and registered with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Which CBD Form is Right for Me?

CBD oils come in three main types: Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and CBD Isolate.

• Full Spectrum: The most popular choice, this form contains a small amount of THC along with the beneficial cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the entire plant. Full Spectrum CBD is well-known for delivering the best overall results due to the ‘entourage effect.’
• Broad Spectrum: Similar to Full Spectrum but without any THC. This form is ideal for those who undergo drug testing for work or sports.
• CBD Isolate: A purified form of CBD. While effective, it lacks the other cannabinoids necessary to trigger the entourage effect. Isolate-based products include gummies and vape cartridges.

How Do I Take CBD Oil Drops?

CBD oil tinctures allow you to precisely control the amount you take. Here’s how to get started:

1. Determine Your Dosage: Decide how much CBD you need, then calculate the number of drops. Just a few drops are usually enough.
2. Take the Drops: Place the drops under your tongue using a mirror or help from a partner to count them. A full pipette contains about 20 drops; for example, ¼ pipette equals 5 drops. Let the drops sit under your tongue for about 2 minutes before swallowing the remainder for optimal absorption.

If you don’t like the taste, you can swallow the drops immediately, though this may delay the effects by 30 minutes to 2 hours.

How Long Does it Take CBD Oil to Work?

When starting out with CBD, it’s important to remain consistent. It may take a few days of regular use for CBD to build up in your system.

The effects typically begin within 15 to 30 minutes after taking the oil sublingually. For best results, we recommend taking a dose in the morning and another in the evening.

If you’re using CBD to improve sleep, a single evening dose may be enough. Similarly, if you're using it for anxiety, you may only need a morning dose or when your anxiety is triggered.

Will Taking CBD Make Me High?

No, CBD will not make you high. Unlike THC, it has no psychoactive effects. In fact, studies suggest CBD may counteract some of THC’s effects.

Is CBD Addictive?

No, CBD is not addictive. According to the World Health Organization, CBD has no addictive properties. If you’re concerned, numerous studies and articles discuss this topic in depth.

Will CBD Interact with Medications?

CBD can interact with certain medications, including heart medication, birth control, and blood thinners. If you’re on medication and considering CBD, consult your healthcare provider before use.

Common Uses for CBD:

• Pain Relief: Many people use CBD to help manage chronic pain, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties are well-documented, and it’s often used as a natural alternative to prescription medications.

• Anxiety, Mood, and Mental Health: Studies suggest that CBD may interact with the CB1 receptors in the brain, potentially offering relief from anxiety and mood disorders. Results vary based on individual brain chemistry, so consulting a healthcare provider is advised.

• Sleep: One of the most common reasons people in the UK use CBD is to improve sleep. Research shows that CBD may help reduce sleep disturbances, and many users report improved sleep quality.
