Frequently asked questions about CBD: What should you know?
CBD has become very popular in recent years. But even though many CBD products are now part of everyday routine, there are still often questions about the correct use, the different forms and safe storage. In this article, we answer some of the most common questions we receive about CBD.
What is CBD and how is it different from THC?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid extracted from the hemp plant. Like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it is one of the plant's many active compounds. While THC is psychoactive and produces the "high" associated with cannabis, CBD does not have an intoxicating effect. This makes CBD a popular choice for those who want to benefit from the properties of the hemp plant without experiencing psychoactive effects.
Which part of the hemp plant does CBD come from?
CBD is mainly extracted from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. The hemp used is usually approved in the EU and grown under strict controls. Our hemp plants are organically grown and completely avoid pesticides and herbicides to ensure the highest quality.
Is CBD addictive?
No, CBD is not addictive. The industrial hemp used does not contain any significant amounts of THC and therefore has no intoxicating effects. Our products undergo strict quality controls so that you receive a legal, pure natural product that is safe and reliable.
Is CBD legal in Germany?
Yes, CBD is legal in Germany as long as it meets certain requirements. CBD products may only be obtained from industrial hemp and must have a THC content of less than 0.2%. Such products are considered safe and may be sold freely. Nevertheless, it is always advisable to pay attention to certificates and quality seals to ensure that the product complies with legal requirements and is of high quality.
In what forms does CBD come?
CBD is available in different forms, depending on personal taste and application preferences. Here are a few examples:
- CBD oil: The most common format, which is easy to dose and is usually dropped under the tongue.
- CBD capsules: Ideal for those who prefer precise dosing and don’t like the taste of CBD oil.
- CBD spray: A practical alternative that is easy to use. The spray is simply sprayed into the mouth.
- CBD gummies: CBD can also be taken in the form of fruit gummies.
- CBD cosmetics: In the form of creams, ointments or lotions that are applied directly to the skin.
Each format has its own advantages. CBD oil and capsules are well suited for daily routine, while CBD cosmetics are used more specifically.
What is the difference between 5%, 10% and 30% CBD?
The percentages indicate the CBD content in the oil. A higher content means that a smaller amount of oil contains the same amount of CBD. Our oils are available in 5%, 10% and 30% variants:
- 5% oil: Contains a total of 500 mg CBD, good for beginners.
- 10% Oil: Contains 1000 mg of CBD, a stronger concentration for regular users.
- 30% oil: Contains 3000 mg CBD, ideal for particularly intensive use.
What dosage is the right one?
The correct dosage of CBD can vary from person to person, as it depends on factors such as body weight, personal sensitivity, and the desired effect. A good starting point is usually a low dose of around 5-10 mg per day, or 2-5 drops. From there, the dosage can be gradually adjusted until you find the ideal amount for yourself. It is advisable to proceed slowly and observe your personal reaction to the product.
How long does CBD last and how do you store it properly?
CBD products usually have a shelf life of about 1-2 years, but can stay fresh and effective for longer with proper storage. The best conditions for CBD are:
- Cool: CBD should be stored in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator, as this can affect the consistency of the oil.
- Dark: Exposure to light can reduce the quality of CBD oils and products. Storing them in a cupboard or in opaque packaging is ideal.
- Dry: Moisture can damage the products, so a dry storage location is ideal.
How do you recognize high-quality CBD products?
With the large selection of CBD products, it is important to pay attention to quality. High-quality CBD products should have the following characteristics:
- Certificates: A certificate from independent laboratories shows that the product has been tested for purity and CBD content.
- Transparency about ingredients: A good product lists its ingredients clearly and openly. This way you can be sure that there are no undesirable additives.
- Origin of the hemp: Reputable manufacturers provide information about the origin of the hemp and its cultivation. Organically grown products are particularly recommended.
Can I take CBD oil with other products?
Yes, CBD can usually be taken together with other products. However, since CBD is processed differently by every body, it may be a good idea to observe the effects first before combining CBD with other dietary supplements or medications. If you regularly take medication, we ask you to consult a doctor before taking CBD. At higher doses , CBD can interact with other medications .
Conclusion: A safe and conscious use of CBD
CBD offers many ways to enrich everyday life with small moments of relaxation and mindfulness. Whether you prefer CBD oil or CBD capsules, for example, make sure you choose high-quality products and put your personal needs first. With the right information and a little experimentation, you will find the right way to integrate CBD into your everyday life.
