Intrigued by the naturally innovative world of CBD oil, but not quite sure where to start? We’ve put together a guide on the best CBD oils, including real reviews from our customers, to help you find one that will suit you.
First things first, what is CBD oil?
CBD oil, cannabidiol, is naturally present in hemp plants that are cultivated for nutritional use. It’s made by transforming hemp flowers and leaves into a ‘paste’ and extracting the CBD from it.
Is CBD safe to use?
Yes! Here at H&B, we wouldn’t sell something that is likely to harm you. The World Health Organisation’s 2018 Critical Review Report on CBD reports that CBD is has a good safety profile and is generally well tolerated.
All of our CBD products are below the maximum dose recommended by the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2020.
What is the best CBD oil dosage?
If you haven’t used a CBD oil before, it’s recommended that you start with a lower potency product and a smaller dose. Then, feel free to increase it bit by bit over a period of time, until you find the best dose for you – making sure to never exceed the daily allowance stated on the product label.
