Most of us have heard of CBD, at least in passing, but as a relatively new addition to the wellness market there are lots of questions surrounding it– such as, what is CBD, how is it produced, how much CDB should a beginner start with, what is it used for and is CBD addictive? We answer these questions and more so please read on.
CBD (cannabidiol) is a chemical compound found commonly within the cannabis plant known as a cannabinoid. CBD can also be produced synthetically in a laboratory, using extracts of the citrus plant, mimicking the DNA of the molecular structure. This method produces the purist form of CBD. CBD has been linked to a range of wellness benefits, whether taken orally as a food supplement or applied topically to the skin because it works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, focus, and physical health.
CBD is not addictive. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces a “high,” the chemical compound of CBD is non-psychoactive and does not have intoxicating effects. However, if you choose to take CBD as a daily food supplement, it is important to pick a product which contains 0% THC and is 100% pure, as not all CBD is created equally. This is because it is nearly impossible to extract pure CBD from the cannabis plant. There will always be traces of other cannabinoids, including THC, the addictive part of cannabis.
However, Lab-Made Pureis Ultra Pure CBD does not run the risk of THC contamination because scientists are using their expertise to synthesise the CBD compound using citrus fruits by mimicking specific sections of DNA from the cannabis plant. Because there are no impurities to begin with, there are no impurities in the end product in comparison to the cannabis derived CBD. And if you consider that 99% of Vitamin C sold in the UK is synthetic, it is clear to see that Lab-Made CBD is in good company!
When asking the questions, ’what is CBD?’ and ‘how much CBD should a beginner start with?’ people also want to know if CBD is legal in the UK. The answer is yes, but there are specific regulations that must be followed. Pure CBD, as an isolated substance, is not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. However, CBD products must not contain more than 1mg of THC per product, as THC is a controlled substance. Additionally, CBD products must comply with safety and labelling regulations, especially if they are sold as food supplements.
If you’re considering using CBD products, it’s essential to ensure they are sourced from reputable suppliers who adhere to these stringent regulations. For complete reassurance, Pureis products are a safe choice because they have been UK authority approved by the Food Standards Agency (FSA)*, and as such meet the strict criteria around levels of purity and contain 0% THC.
So now we’ve answered the questions, ‘what is CBD?’ and ‘is CBD addictive?’ we will look at the way in which CBD works to balance the body.
Research suggests that CBD might assist the body in achieving homeostasis – a balance of the body’s overall physical functions – which opens the door for its use in many different therapeutic applications. The science behind this is the way in which CBD interacts with our Endocannabinoid system (ECS).
We all have an ECS which ensures our body maintains a healthy state by supporting wider systems like the immune system, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system. Your ECS system consists of many receptors to which CBD can regulate and interact. Your ECS system plays a crucial role in: regulating your mood, memory, energy levels, bone density, sleep and much more and CBD works within the ECS system to help maintain and balance these levels, returning our bodies back to their natural state. Understanding how much CBD a beginner should start with is the next important step in your CBD journey, so please read on.
There are several ways in which CBD food supplements can be taken and there are plenty of options on the market to suit different needs. CBD can be taken orally, which lends it to a wide variety of products. These include CBD capsules, oils, sprays and edibles. Additionally, it can be used locally on the body, widening the scope of application even further to CBD balms and beauty treatments.
With so many options, it’s worth researching the different formats to find the best CBD for you but be sure to scrutinise your source and buy from a trusted supplier with a good reputation. Check out the Pureis range here.
Now that you know more about what CBD is, you may be wondering how much to take. With CBD dosage there is no set amount, and it very much depends on the reason for taking it and every individual is different. However, there is a consensus that for optimum results, CBD should be taken consistently as part of a daily or nighttime routine. Our advice is to start on a low CBD dose , for example 10mg and keep a journal of how you are feeling, and perhaps increase accordingly.
Before using CBD, consider speaking to your GP or a medical professional about the amount you should be taking, and always check the instructions.
The effect of cannabinoids on human physiology is extremely complex, and research into its interactions with the body is still in its infancy. That said, a whole host of studies are looking at the benefits of CBD for physical and mental wellbeing, including some specific conditions. If you are considering taking CBD as a regular supplement, it would be worth discussing it with your GP or pharmacist as a first step.
