10 Tips for Choosing Quality CBD Oil

10 TIPS FOR CHOOSING QUALITY CBD OIL Created by James Weston

DO YOUR RESEARCH I know it’s easy to jump the gun when you see a product for sale that can do as much as popular culture says CBD oil can do. And, as I’m sure you will learn when, after this article, you studiously do your own research, many of the claims made are backed by Actual Scientific Research. It’s so important I had to capitalize it.

CBD PRODUCTS SHOULD COME IN ADEQUATE PACKAGING Along with knowing what kind of CBD oil you’re looking for, it is important to learn the terminology of what you should see on a CBD oil label (hint: it should say more than ‘totally dope CBD oil’), which is what most of our advice leans towards.

LOOK FOR AND UNDERSTAND THE THC CONTENT Before you buy, make sure you’re aware of the laws in your location regarding THC legality or legal limits. Although CBD is for the most part legal in the Western world, THC legality varies from place to place, and there may very well be restrictions on the legal amount of THC allowed in CBD oil where you’re buying it.

CHECK HOW THE CBD IS EXTRACTED You might wonder why extraction is so important, and we can tell you. Not only does the extraction method indicate quality, but can also change the genetic structure of the final product. There are a couple of typical methods for extraction, and these act as a good indicator of quality.

CHECK THE HEMP GROWING STANDARDS If you use CBD products made from lesser quality hemp, you can bet it has also come in contact with foreign chemicals like pesticides or fertilizers during the growing process. If you cannot find any indication of growing standards, don’t trust the product. Buying CBD oil without being able to verify growing standards means that not only will you be ingesting these chemicals, but they will have also gone to work wreaking havoc on the quality of your CBD.

CHECK THE SOURCING LOCATION As we’ve seen, many things can affect the quality of your CBD oil, and it’s best to go with a company that sources their materials from a place where regulation has already been written into law.

ASK FOR THIRD PARTY LAB TESTING RESULTS We’ve all heard the phrase ‘Third Party Lab Testing’, but what is it, and why is it a crucial thing to consider when looking for the best CBD oil? Well, as there’s no government- approved testing process for determining the purity and quality of CBD products, private labs have been targeted to quality check products for companies. And, as you can imagine, not all labs and reports are created equal.

ENSURE THE CBD OIL IS ADDITIVE- FREE CBD oil doesn’t benefit from superfluous additives, and really your CBD oil shouldn’t contain anything besides its core constituents. If your CBD oil is flavored, it’s best to buy products containing only natural ingredients, like essential oils. Buying a CBD oil with additives that could be bad for you kind of defeats the purpose of buying CBD oil in the first place, or any other advice you follow therin.

ENSURE THE CBD OIL IS MANUFACTURER ASSURED If a company is dedicated to the quality of their product, they will stand by their words when it comes to transparency, but also when it comes to any quality issues that may arise. Ensure that your CBD oil comes with a money back guarantee and enquire about the returns policy. If a product does not contain either of these things, it demonstrates a lack of commitment which can speak volumes about what corners were cut during the production process.

UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE TAKING CBD At the end of the day, whether the oils you choose are broad spectrum or isolates, natural cherry flavored or plain, 0.3 % THC or 3% THC, unless you have a very clear idea of why you are taking CBD oil, they may not be the most optimal product for you. Have a thorough think about what you would like CBD to help you with, whether it’s restlessness, anxiety, skin conditions, or pain, and what kinds of results you are looking for.
