What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is widely regarded for its wellbeing properties, though globally we are still learning about this incredible compound! The therapeutic benefits of CBD are still being researched and uncovered today, having been first isolated and identified back in 1963, though there is already extensive scientific research supporting the positive characteristics of this cannabinoid. Cannabidiol won’t get you high – our CBD oil comes from the strain of the Cannabis Sativa plant known as ‘Industrial Hemp’, which has been used in health and beauty products, as a clothing and building material, and for its wellbeing properties for thousands of years.

CBD has a very low level of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) present in the plant, compared to the psychoactive Marijuana strain of the Cannabis Sativa plant. It is the THC content that determines whether a product is classed as a controlled substance under UK law or not, and all CBD products must contain a THC level of 0.2% or less to be considered legal in the UK.

To find out more about the legal status of CBD Oil products, please visit our knowledge centre. In Hempura’s range of CBD oil products, there are only microscopic levels of THC present (at an undetectable level of less than 0.05%), but all of our extracts still retain the full spectrum of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes that many find boost their wellbeing.

How do I know the correct dosage of CBD?

Every Hempura product has the CBD content clearly labelled and dosage recommendations explained on the packaging. If you are just starting taking CBD and have chosen a product that doesn’t contain pre-measured CBD oil (for example, our Original and Refined CBD oils, rather than our CBD chocolates or capsules), we recommended that you start with a low dose of around 10-15mg, taken in two doses, evenly spaced throughout the day.

Once you get more familiar with CBD (and the effect that it has on your balance and wellbeing) you can increase the dose slowly, perhaps every 5-7 days, until you reach a point where you feel that you are getting the full benefit of the product.

There are a number of different ways that you can incorporate Hempura CBD products into your day-to-day life and find the dosage that works best for you. Our range of high-quality CBD products includes:

• – CBD oil – both our original and refined extracts
• – CBD chocolates – a tasty and convenient way to supplement with CBD!
• – CBD topical cream – clinically proven to repair, restore and soothe
• – Hemp Tea – a herbal tea manufactured from high-quality Cannabis Sativa Hemp, bursting with natural raspberry and lemon flavours
• – CBD capsules – a convenient way to benefit from the full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, etc. from the Cannabis Sativa plant
• – CBD Vape – specially developed to be as potent and effective as possible and safe for daily use
