What is cannabidiol (CBD)?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant.

Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and is therefore not associated with producing a “high”.

CBD is extracted from specially cultivated industrial hemp varieties with naturally high CBD and very low THC levels. It can be used in a variety of products, including food supplements, cosmetic products and medicinal preparations.

What is CBD oil made of?

CBD oil consists of two main components:

CBD extract derived from the hemp plant
A carrier oil, most commonly hemp seed oil

The carrier oil makes the product easier to use and helps ensure consistent dosing.

In addition to pure CBD isolate (without additional plant compounds), there are also broad-spectrum (THC-free) and full-spectrum products (the most natural form), which contain other naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant.

Many users prefer full-spectrum products over pure CBD isolate because the different plant compounds are believed to work together in what is commonly referred to as the entourage effect.

CBD in everyday life

Many people consciously incorporate CBD into their daily lives as part of a routine focused on balance, relaxation and well-being.

The focus is not on any single effect, but on the combination of mindful use and an individual’s lifestyle.
