re you interested in the potential health benefits of CBD but unsure where to start? First and foremost before you buy, make sure that you are selecting a high-quality CBD product from a reputable source. The following tips will help you identify what to look for when buying CBD oil.
Where and how the hemp is grown and extracted
You should purchase CBD grown in the United States that can be traced back to its source. Reputable companies that value transparency will indicate where their hemp is grown.
Look for a company that uses organic farming practices, like Bee’s Knee’s. When hemp is grown using organic farming practices, the plants used to formulate the CBD products are grown without any harmful pesticides or herbicides.
The best companies follow Good Manufacturing Practices in their extraction process. Bee’s Knee’s CBD is extracted from industrial hemp that is processed through ethanol extraction, one of the safest and most efficient methods available.
CBD rich industrial hemp
Cannabidiol or CBD is just one out of more than 113 different cannabinoids that are found in the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa L. Industrial hemp contains a THC concentration of 0.3% or less. All of Bee’s Knee’s CBD products are completely non-psychoactive.
Third-party lab testing
It’s important to purchase CBD products from a company that has their hemp oil tested by an independent third-party lab. Third-party testing ensures that your CBD products are free of toxic chemicals or contaminants. Bee’s Knee’s makes their test results easily accessible on their website product pages.
Third-party testing can also confirm that the CBD products you purchase meet regulatory standards. Testing verifies the CBD potency as shown on the product label. Again, CBD products should contain no more than 0.3% THC by law. In addition, third-party test results can confirm that your THC-free products have 0% THC.
aUsing the correct About the dosage
Your ideal dosage of CBD will depend on your individual needs, the type of product you take (i.e., oil tincture, edible, topical), and how your body reacts to CBD. We recommend starting at the lowest dosage and increasing as needed until you reach the desired effect.
Know the difference between hemp oil and “hemp seed oil”
Be aware that some CBD companies misrepresent low-quality products manufactured overseas. Many of these products are made with hemp seed oil which contains no CBD. Also, check that the CBD content is noted in milligrams. Descriptions of these products can be very misleading, but now you know what to look for!
