FAQs
It’s all about the endocannabinoid system....
The endocannabinoid system is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors, and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the vertebrate, central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
In other words, we all have an internal network all throughout our bodies of receptors that react to cannabinoids, or our CBD products. This system is directly connected to the nervous system which is where pain receptors send signals to the brain, letting it know it senses pain. When CBD interacts with this system, it helps to mitigate those pain signals and replace them with feel good signals. We call this Healthy Healing for short.
Full Spectrum
Full spectrum (or “whole plant”) products contain terpenes as well as other cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, CBN and trace amounts of THC. Usually naturally-occurring and extracted from the plant and specific strain for a full 'entourage effect'. This is where all the cannabinoids and terpenes are working together. Terpenes and cannabinoids are sometimes added as an isolated form to increase the potency of the product. The THC found in full spectrum hemp oil products, although minimal (less than 0.3%), can possibly still trigger a positive drug test.Broad Spectrum
Broad spectrum products contain an array of cannabinoids and terpenes but 0% THC. ThirdParty Lab Testing Reports can tell you which cannabinoids and terpenes are in the product and at what percentage. These products have often gone through additional processing to try to isolate and remove as much THC as possible while still maintaining the other cannabinoids and terpenes. This is the type of CBD we use in all our products so any of our customers, in any industry (law enforcement, education, medicine) can buy our products without having to worry about THC showing up on their employer’s drug tests.Everyone's endocannabinoid system is different and it comes down to the individual user and their needs. If passing a drug test is a concern, do not use full spectrum, you’re encouraged to seek out broad spectrum products. Not everyone who uses CBD oil will test positive on a drug test. But it can and does happen, even with products that claim to have 0% THC. If you’re using any CBD oil product, you should be aware of the risks and make the decision that is right for you.
The level of risk is dependent on a number of factors including the type of product you are taking, your body chemistry, dosage and duration of use and the sensitivity of the drug test.
Bioavailability refers to the portion of actual product that gets into your bloodstream/system. 100% bioavailability is generally reserved for intravenous methods and is not applicable for the uses below. Below are all of the methods and their respective bioavailabilites:
• Sublingual: 20-30%
• Vaping/Inhalation: 30-40%
• Oral: Approximately 5%
• Transdermal (Absorbed through skin): Approximately 70+%
• Suppositories: 80-90%
Hemp oil is the most broad of these terms. There are some products labeled hemp oil that have CBD in them and some that do not. To know whether something labeled hemp oil has CBD in it, you need to understand the difference between hemp seed oil and CBD oil.
Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil is basically the hemp equivalent to olive oil, coconut oil and grapeseed oil. It’s good for cooking and can make an excellent salad dressing but it contains no CBD. It’s generally not considered to be medicinal. The seeds of the cannabis plant, whether it’s hemp or marijuana, don’t produce any CBD. So if you’re looking for CBD oil, hemp seed oil is not what you want. How do you know if a product labeled hemp oil is just hemp seed oil? The product label will typically just describe the product as “unrefined cold-pressed hempseed oil.” The most obvious giveaways are the cheap price and the large bottle.
Hemp Extract
Instead of just saying CBD on the label, many products that contain CBD list the primary ingredient as hemp extract. To add to the confusion, they may also list hemp seed oil, olive oil or MCT oil as ingredients. This can lead some people to mistakenly think there isn’t any CBD in the product. Those other oils listed are the “carrier oils.” Carrier oils dilute the concentrated hemp extract (which includes the pure CBD) to improve the taste of the product.
CBD Oil
CBD oil is extracted from the aerial flower parts, stalk and/or stems of the hemp plant. Unfortunately, it’s typically not easy to know if a product contains CBD just by looking at its label. Many products containing CBD don’t mention CBD anywhere on the label. That’s because saying CBD on the label or website can increase the company’s risk associated with FDA regulations and credit card processing agreements. Despite the risk associated with labeling our products with CBD, we are very transparent as to what ingredients we use so our customers can make informed decisions when purchasing our products.
