All CBD is not created equal, so it’s extremely important to be an educated consumer. The demand for cannabidiol (CBD) oil products is quickly growing as more people become familiar with the natural health effects and uses of CBD. While you explore the available CBD hemp oil products, keep in mind that not all CBD oils are the same. As the market expands and more products hit the market, it’s more important than ever that you find a trusted source for high-quality CBD oil. As hemp-based CBD products are now legal in many countries, there are many retailers who boast high-end tinctures and infusions, but quality does vary.
With CBD hemp oil being classified as a natural product and dietary supplement, rigorous testing practices are not required by regulators. The methods used to manufacture CBD oil directly affect the safety and quality of products you might buy. That’s why it’s important that you do research to get your CBD products from manufacturers that you can trust.
There are numerous global sources of hemp and each variety has its own set of characteristics, including its CBD content. High-quality CBD oil products are derived from hemp that is naturally abundant in CBD and cultivated using strict safety standards.
CBD Extraction
CBD can be extracted from both the hemp and cannabis plants, although hemp-based products are the only available products being sold outside of a Licensed Producer (LP).
CBD extraction is an expensive and complicated process, with the three main avenues for extraction being CO2, ethanol extraction, and nanotechnology.
CO2 Extraction
CO2 extraction looks like a crazy science experiment. Hemp plants are exposed to different temperatures and pressures to isolate CBD and other cannabinoids such as terpenes and flavonoids. The set-up for this type of extraction is budget-busting, as it requires expensive equipment and a large space for set-up.
The results of CO2 extraction produce isolated cannabinoids, such as CBD, with 90% efficacy. This is not a good method for full-spectrum or large-volume production.
Ethanol Extraction
Ethanol extraction involves submerging the hemp plant in high grade ethanol, which extracts a full-spectrum of cannabinoids, including terpenes and flavonoids. Ethanol extraction is less expensive and is widely used for large scale production of full-spectrum CBD products.
CBD Nanotechnology
A few CBD companies are using a proprietary extraction method utilizing nanotechnology. This process involves a unique extraction process that reduces CBD into small nano-sized droplets.
CBD produced via nanotechnology is highly bioavailable, with the body absorbing up to 90 percent of the CBD, compared to only 10-15 percent for CBD products manufactured without using nanotechnology.
Lab Testing
It is important that the hemp and CBD Oil undergo rigorous 3rd party lab testing in order to identify the presence of bacteria and any other unwanted elements. It is important to verify that independent lab testing is conducted to inspect oil to make sure it has the ideal concentration of cannabinoids, including CBD.
Ideally, labs should be inspecting for any presence of the following unwanted elements:
• Mold
• Mildew
• Fungus
• Yeast
• E.coli
• Salmonella
• Mycotoxins
• Heavy metals
• Residual solvents
Packaged for Clarity and Preservation
CBD hemp oil products should be packaged to optimally preserve the cannabinoids and other natural constituents of the CBD hemp oil. This helps slow CBD oil’s expiration, and protects it from degradation caused by exposure to air, light, and heat.
Along with an accurate, complete listing of ingredients, product labels should provide information on standard serving sizes and storage recommendations so your CBD oil doesn’t expire or spoil too quickly.
The Entourage Effect
The Entourage Effect is defined as multiple cannabinoids working together to create an enhanced effect. Therefore, full-spectrum CBD products that include terpenes and flavonoids are expected to work better from an overall health perspective. Including a full spectrum of cannabinoids ensures that the CBD product is better absorbed and acts on all receptors in the endocannabinoid system. However, isolated CBD products may be better suited to managing specific symptoms related to a disease process, such as ticks found in Tourette’s.
Use of CBD Products
The saying “to each their own” is very appropriate in this instance. There are a wide range of CBD products on the market including tinctures, oils, topicals, gummies, water and other infused edibles.
An individual needs to search for the product that is best suited to them. CBD MED provides a wide array of products and incorporates nanotechnology to aid in absorption.

CBD oil offers the ability to tailor the dosage to the user’s needs. If CBD is being used to manage pain, oil is a great solution, as the dosage can be adjusted according to pain level throughout the day.
CBD topicals offer the ability to externally assist the body with pain, skin irritations, and other ailments. This is a great solution to target certain areas of the body.
CBD water is a great health and wellness product as it keeps the consumer hydrated while providing beneficial amounts of CBD to maintain overall health. The use of nanotechnology improves the bioavailability and absorption of CBD and will help a consumer achieve maximum benefit.
