CBD (cannabidiol) is the most abundant cannabinoid present in the hemp plant. The plants contain over 100 other cannabinoids but all in far lower amounts.

In accordance with UK regulations, we do not make any health claims in respect to the use of our products but recommend them only for general wellness.

However, people may take CBD to aid their body’s recovery, alleviate particular symptoms or as a daily supplement to generally support their wellbeing.

Hemp and marijuana are part of the same family of plants. Hemp is a strain of cannabis sativa whereas marijuana - colloquially called cannabis - may be cannabis sativa, cannabis indica, or cannabis ruderalis. Generally, marijuana contains a high amount of THC but a low amount of CBD; hemp, on the other hand, has a very high level of CBD and only a very small amount of THC.

The plants look different too. Although there are a number of different strains of hemp, the plants tend to be taller and more fibrous than marijuana which is a smaller, bushier plant with more flowering buds. In addition to being a source of CBD, the strength of the hemp plant makes it suitable for a wide range of uses, including building materials and paper, whereas marijuana’s uses are normally limited to the extraction of cannabinoids for recreational and medicinal purposes.

CBD Isolate is 99% pure cannabidiol offering CBD in its purest and most concentrated form.

Yes! And this is a great way to take CBD. Please use only the oral products and we suggest using our natural tinctures which come in strengths of 500mg and 1,000mg (although the flavoured tinctures can supplement the flavours of some dishes too). It is best to first blend the CBD oil with butter or oil as part of your preparations. Please feel free to ask us for advice or look at some of the suggestions we have made in our Zoetic Journal. We are always interested to hear of new recipe ideas too!

Hemp seeds will contain only traces of cannabinoids. Our CBD is extracted from the whole plant and contains, well, CBD.

Products sold by retailers as containing “hemp oil” are unlikely to contain any meaningful amounts of CBD or other cannabinoids.

We recommend keeping the bottles away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, and certainly below 30C. There is no need to keep it in the fridge – a cupboard is fine. For our oral CBD products, we recommend consuming it within six months of opening. (This does not apply to our topical CBD products).

Our oral CBD products are blended with MCT (coconut) oil so storing them as you would do with, for example, olive oil is absolutely fine.

We advise taking 1ml of our oral CBD oils which is one full pipette up to two or three times a day. However, please remember that this is not a pharmaceutical product and everyone will be affected differently. Depending on your reasons for using CBD, you may wish to start with a lower amount and adjust it, as well as the number of times you take it each day, to suit your requirements.

As well as taking it directly, you can also add our oral CBD oils to food or hot drinks.

No. All of our products are entirely free of THC (0.0%). THC is the compound in marijuana and cannabis that produces the psychoactive effect. Our laboratory reports confirming this are available publicly on our website under each product.
