CBD - from nature, to nurture
Explore the health benefits of our amazing CBD range
Many people are curious about the health benefits of CBD and want to learn more about this amazing natural plant-based supplement. Here are a few frequently asked questions and information about CBD and how it works in the body.
What is CBD and where does it come from?
CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is a type of cannabinoid, a chemical compound naturally occurring in the Cannabis Sativa plant. This is just one of many cannabinoids that all do fabulous things for our bodies.
While CBD isolate contains just pure CBD and no other compounds from the hemp or cannabis sativa plant, broad-spectrum CBD contains all the compounds from the hemp plant except from the principal psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which has been removed.
CBD is legal in the UK, provided it comes from an industrial hemp strain that is EU approved and contains no THC. It is recognised as a food supplement by UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA).
How could using CBD benefit me?
Historical evidence indicates that communities around the globe have harnessed the medicinal benefits of cannabis for over 5000 years to treat various ailments.
It is thought that CBD works with the body to regulate anxiety and stress, sleep and relaxation, pain, inflammation and general wellbeing.
The human body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of neurotransmitters and cannabinoid receptors, may help regulate processes like anxiety, stress, and mood through cannabinoids found in cannabis.
In what forms can CBD be taken and what would be best for me?
CBD can be taken orally (as a tablet, capsule, or gummy), sublingually (under the tongue as a tincture), topically (applied to the skin as a balm or cream), or vaped (in an e-liquid) to provide a wide range of benefits.
Depending on your CBD needs, a specific type of product might be most beneficial. For instance, if you're using CBD for muscle aches & pains, a targeted CBD pain cream may be ideal. If you're aiming to enhance overall well-being then a tincture could be the best choice.
Our delicious CBD fruit jellies are an excellent introduction to CBD! Each vegan-friendly jelly has been expertly produced containing either 10mg or 25mg of CBD making them extremely convenient, especially if out on the go!! Many of our customers enjoy incorporating our CBD jellies into their daily wellness routines.
Is CBD good for general wellbeing?
Yes! CBD supports the body's natural processes to maintain balance, known as homeostasis. Many people use CBD regularly, just the same as they go to the gym or take daily vitamins, to promote overall wellbeing.
Can CBD be used to allieviate pain and to reduce inflammation?
Yes! Some people with chronic pain use CBD products, such as CBD oil or creams, to manage symptoms. CBD may reduce pain, inflammation, and discomfort from various conditions and existing studies show promising results. CBD could provide an alternative to habit forming
opioids with dangerous side effects for chronic pain relief.
Can CBD help with anxiety, stress, or depression?
Our customers seeking help for anxiety and stress usually fall into two categories: those wanting a daily solution for ongoing anxiety and those needing relief during occasional flare-ups. For daily use, a high-strength CBD tincture taken in the morning might be ideal, offering all-day benefits. For stressful episodes or intense environments, our maximum strength jellies provide quick, discreet relief, easily kept in a bag or drawer for convenience.
Is CBD good for maintaining positive mental health and wellbeing?
Many customers seek CBD as an alternative or supplement to prescription medication. Whilst not classified as medicine, CBD aids mental health recovery for some, either replacing or complementing prescriptions. If using CBD with your medication, consult your doctor first.
CBD -
our handy dosage guide
The amount of CBD you take could depend on a range of factors, including:
– your body weight
– your individual body chemistry
– the concentration of CBD in each tablet, capsule, drop, or jelly
– the condition you are hoping to treat
– As with any new supplement, it’s best to start with a smaller dosage and gradually increase it. This could mean starting with 20 to 40 mg a day. After a week, if you feel you want more, increase this amount by 5 mg. Continue this until you feel you’ve reached a dosage you are happy with (up to a max of 1mg per KG or 70mg as per FSA Guidelines)
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of cannabinoid, one of many compounds naturally found in cannabis plants. CBD can be consumed in various forms, including oils, tablets, capsules, gummies, chocolates, creams, and more. While deciding how to take CBD might seem like the first step, it may be more beneficial to determine your desired dosage first.
Since everyone is different, preferred dosages can vary. That's why our CBD tinctures come with graduated pipettes, making it easy to measure small increments and achieve accurate dosages. You may need to experiment to find the dosage that works best for you, but here is some information to help you get started.
The dosage guidelines above are approximations and can vary greatly due to the subjective nature of CBD consumption. Consult a health professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medication. This supplement should be part of a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
