The basics: What is CBD oil and how is it made?

If you’re new to CBD oil, we're going to clarify a few of the basics before we dive into methods of consuming it. What follows is a clear and simple explanation, with no jargon and clearly explains what CBD oil is comprised of.

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is a chemical compound found naturally in the flowers of cannabis plants. It is from a group of chemicals called cannabinoids.

CBD oil is simply an oil solution that contains CBD. It's made by extracting the CBD from a cannabis plant (often hemp plants are used, which is just a legal variety of cannabis with very low levels of THC, meaning it can’t be used to get ‘high’).

Once the CBD has been extracted, it is mixed with a carrier oil. By mixing it with a carrier oil, the CBD is absorbed more efficiently into your body. This carrier oil can vary, but olive oil, hemp seed oil and coconut oil are commonly used.

The methods: How to take CBD oil?

CBD oil is a versatile substance that can be used in a variety of ways. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages and your reasons for using CBD oil will determine which is best for you. Here we cover the three ways you can take CBD oil. We also discuss the pros and cons of each, as well as if it suits you and your needs.

Swallow it

Another common method is to simply swallow CBD oil. When you swallow CBD oil, it will go through your digestive system before being metabolized by the liver and eventually passing through the wall of the gut and into your bloodstream.

However, CBD oil can have a pretty nasty taste. That’s why we flavored our Good Vibes 250mg+ CBD Oil with organic peppermint oil. Trust us, it makes a big difference. Some like to mix theirs with food or drink, although this can delay or even dampen the effects

One downside of ingesting CBD oil is that it is not the most efficient method. Not all of the active ingredients may make it into your blood due to the long journey through your digestive system.

Rub it into your skin

CBD oil can also be applied topically. This involves rubbing it into your skin, allowing it to be absorbed through your pores.

Full spectrum CBD oil, such as Good Vibes 250mg+ CBD Oil, also contains healthy fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients to hydrate skin.

The Serving: How much CBD should you take?

When it comes to working out how much CBD you should take, there are many things to consider. First, be aware that what works for some might not work for you. Everyone has a unique physiology and reasons for using CBD oil, therefore, your serving size and serving schedule is personal to you.

There are, however, some guidelines that will make the process of determining the right serving size for you much easier. The most important is to start off with a small amount (between 1-5mg) and then increase the serving size if needed.

For a more detailed look at how to decide what is right for you, this in-depth article will explain all you need to know.

The low-down: Tips for buying CBD oil

When purchasing CBD for the first time, it's important to purchase only from trustworthy sources and vendors. Like many other products, CBD can be found from untrustworthy sources and can be detrimental to the user's health.

This was shockingly highlighted in this recent study that tested 84 CBD products. It found that 26 percent contained less CBD than they claimed to while 42 percent had more. Not only that, but 21 percent of the CBD products tested also contained THC, potentially putting people at risk of intoxication and testing positive for cannabis, which CBD alone won’t do.

Therefore, it is vital that you buy CBD oil from a trusted source. The most important thing to look for is positive reviews and to make sure they have third-party lab test results clearly displayed on their site. Like we do for our wildly popular Good Vibes 250mg+ CBD Oil.
