What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is a natural compound derived from the cannabis or hemp plant. It has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a "high" or intoxicating effect.

There are 2 main types of CBD:

·       Full-spectrum products contain a range of cannabinoids, including trace amounts of THC (but not enough to cause a high).

·       Broad-spectrum products contain multiple cannabinoids but are THC-free.

All our products contain Broad-spectrum CBD.

Ingesting refers to consuming CBD orally, typically in the form of capsules, oils, edibles, or tinctures. This method allows CBD to be absorbed through the digestive system.
