FAQ

CBD, or Cannabidiol as it is fully known, is one of the most studied and commonly found cannabinoids. It’s naturally produced in the body (it’s found in breast milk to aid human development),along with being one of 82 natural compounds found within the cannabis plant. CBD oil can be derived from either Marijuana or Hemp, both are by-products of the Cannabis plant but there are very distinct differences between the two.

CBD derived from Marijuana contains very high levels of THC. THC is also known as tetrahydrocannabinol, and it’s the compound that causes the ‘high’ feeling. CBD derived from Hemp contains very little or no THC at all meaning it is completely non-psychoactive. CBD can interact with the cells in our bodies as the molecule has a similar composition to chemicals that are naturally produced by the body called endocannabinoids.

By interacting with the Endocannabinoid system via receptors in the brain, the central nervous system, peripheral organs and many other areas, CBD has been found to produce many therapeutic effects.

All CBD Ultra products are derived from the Cannabis Sativa L. plant, also known as commercial Hemp. Our products have 80% Phytocannabinoids but zero traces of THC- unlike medical marijuana products that contain high levels of the psychoactive substance tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

CBD Ultra’s hemp products contain zero or trace levels of THC, (the compound that causes a marijuana high), they are completely non-psychoactive and legal to sell and buy in the UK.

Hemp and Cannabis are scientifically and genetically the same plant that has been cultivated in different ways to achieve different effects.

Medical cannabis plants have been selectively bred over the years to produce female flowering plants that yield budding flowers, and it’s these buds that contain THC. These plants are purposefully cultivated to contain high levels of psychoactive THC as they are then used recreationally, spiritually, and medicinally.

In contrast, hemp plants are tall and do not produce any flowering buds, therefore containing trace amounts of THC. The hemp plant is legally grown all around the world for use in products ranging from textiles to building materials, and food and supplements and it is legal to buy and sell in the UK.

Most medical marijuana plants produce between 5-20% THC, with some strains producing 23-30% THC, whereas hemp plants naturally contain less than 0.2% THC.

Hemp oil products can sometimes be described as cannabis oil products, as technically the term can be used to describe both as they are derived from the cannabis plant, but although both are from the Cannabis plant, they are very different. Marijuana is rich in THC and is used to get “high”. Hemp is an industrial food crop that is sold under licence within the UK. Both contain CBD, but only marijuana contains THC.

Importantly, CBD Ultra products are all derived from EU and US approved industrial hemp and as such are completely non-psychoactive and legal in the UK.

CBD interacts with the body’s Endocannabinoid system. The four primary uses of this internal system include neuroprotection, stress recovery, immune balance, and homeostatic regulation.

As the CBD compound is remarkably similar to compounds produced naturally by the body (cannabinoids are found in breast milk and are crucial for human development), they can lock onto the bodies Endocannabinoid receptors and act as a switch resulting in therapeutic effects and an increase in overall health and wellbeing.

There are various ways to take CBD, all of which can be beneficial.

The most effective method of delivery for CBD is through vaping, where the CBD liquid is heated in a vaping device and then the vapour is inhaled. Because it enters the body through the lungs, it enters the bloodstream quickly.

The second most effective method of absorbing CBD is oral drops, placed under the tongue for a couple of minutes and then swallowed.

This is followed by CBD edibles, capsules, and then topical products.

CBD Ultra stocks all of the above.

Most CBD Ultra products, such as our gummies and coffee, will tell you how much CBD is in each serving. For CBD oils that come in droppers, the bottles should tell you how many milligrams of CBD are in each dose.

When it comes to deciding on a dosage, it depends on what you’re wanting to achieve. There are no fixed rules for how much CBD you should take, however the effect it has on you can be affected by

The concentration or quality of CBD

• Your bodyweight
• Your body’s chemistry
• The condition or ailment you’re targeting

Finding your optimal dosage will likely take some trial and error until you find what meets your individual needs. The amount of CBD you require will also change throughout your life as your body does.

Our advice is to start off small and increase the dosage slowly over time. The FSA recommends taking no more than 70mg of CBD per day.
