What is CBD?
What is CBD?
Cannibidiol (CBD) is extracted from hemp plants. Because hemp is in the cannabis family, many people assume it is bad. But, it is not the same as marijuana. Much like a Chihuahua and a Dalmatian are both in the canine family, but they're definitely not the same thing.
Research has shown that CBD may have wonderful pain relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits and a positive impact on the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Is it legal?
CBD and other cannabinoids are legal in all 50 states, as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC. It is not approved by the FDA to use for pain and inflammation. That does not mean that CBD doesnt have health benefits, but that more research is needed. There has been lots of promising research on CBD’s potential benefits for pain and inflammation. The evidence is not yet robust enough to meet the FDA’s standards for efficacy and safety.
Where does it come from?
Many of our products contain CBD. For those, we utilize organic CBD extracted from industrial hemp plants. This is not like marijuana because CBD contains less than 0.3% of the psychoactive component THC. Most of our products contain zero THC, but it will always say on the label.
