WHAT TYPE OF CBD OIL SHOULD I BUY? WIDE OR FULL SPECTRUM?

There are two basic types of cannabis, or CBD oils, broad/wide-spectrum and full-spectrum. Before buying CBD oil, it is important to clarify the difference between the two products and which one is better for you. In some cases, a broad-spectrum CBD oil may be better and there are cases when it is more appropriate to choose a full-spectrum cannabis oil. Don't spend your money on a product that isn't the best for you! Read our detailed guide to help you find the best cannabis oil for you!

WHAT IS CBD OIL?

CBD oil, cannabidiol oil, cannabis oil, they all mean the same thing. CBD (cannabidiol), a natural compound in hemp or cannabis, is a so-called phytocannabinoid that is typically extracted from the inflorescence of the plant along with countless other beneficial compounds.

The raw extract itself is not yet edible. It must undergo a multi-step purification process and finally be diluted to obtain its final drop form. The result of the CO2 extraction that we use, operating at low pressure and temperature, is a honey-like mass, which is mixed with certified organic oil pressed from the hemp's own seeds to obtain a truly effective product.

HOW DOES CBD OIL WORK?

The precise mechanism of action of CBD oil is still being mapped out. The process only began in the late 1980s, when Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam identified the CB1 receptor in 1988, which turned out to be an important component of the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

We now know that the ECS is one of our most important biological systems, controlling a multitude of vital processes, including sleep, pain perception, appetite, and our well-being.

Some doctors believe that it is one of the most significant scientific discoveries since sterilization. CBD, and other components of CBD oil, exert their effects by influencing the functioning of the endocannabinoid system.

CBD and other cannabis compounds found in quality products help the endocannabinoid system function and can therefore have many positive effects.

WHAT EFFECTS DOES CBD OIL HAVE?

CBD PAIN RELIEF

The most well-known effect of CBD oil is pain relief. Several studies have shown that CBD can reduce the sensation of pain in chronic pain, such as arthritis pain, migraines, or neuropathic pain.

This is because CBD acts on the endocannabinoid system, which is part of the body's own pain-regulating mechanism.

It does not suppress pain like a painkiller, but rather retunes the body's own regulatory system, reducing inflammation and the intensity of pain.

THE CALMING EFFECT OF CBD OIL

CBD oil can have a calming effect, which is why it is increasingly being used to treat stress and anxiety. Scientific studies have shown that CBD can reduce anxiety symptoms because it can interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, thus promoting relaxation and calmness.

Activation of serotonin receptors (5-HT1A): CBD increases the signaling of the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, serotonin, which has a calming and anxiety-reducing effect.

Increase endocannabinoid levels: Inhibits the breakdown of anandamide, thereby strengthening the effect of the body’s natural “happiness molecule”.

Inhibition of the stress system: Reduces the excessive production of cortisol (stress hormone), so that the nervous system is less overworked.

Support of the GABA system: Indirectly increases inhibitory (calming) signaling in the brain, which promotes relaxation.

SLEEP IMPROVEMENT EFFECT OF CBD OIL

One of the best things about CBD oil is that it improves sleep quality. Research has shown that CBD can help people with insomnia achieve deeper sleep and reduce frequent nighttime awakenings. It can also help relieve chronic pain and inflammation, which are common causes of sleep disorders. By reducing pain, you can improve the quality and duration of your sleep.

CBD works through the body’s own endocannabinoid system to harmonize internal balance (homeostasis), helping to naturally regulate your sleep-wake cycle. CBD can affect the different stages of sleep, reducing excessive REM activity, which can contribute to more restful sleep and fewer nighttime awakenings.

Together, these mechanisms are responsible for CBD’s ability to effectively support better sleep, although its exact effects may vary from person to person, and more research is needed to understand the full picture.

CBD OIL AND DRUG INTERACTIONS?

Cannabis, or CBD oil, affects the use of several medications. CBD interacts with about half of the drugs on the market, and this should be taken into account before buying cannabis oil. There are preparations with which it is not recommended at all, and there are medications with which CBD should only be used with great caution, so it is always worth consulting a doctor and asking for his opinion.

WHY IS CBD OIL NOT WORKING FOR ME?

CBD oil is an increasingly popular natural supplement for relieving stress, anxiety, sleep disorders or chronic pain. More and more people are choosing it instead of traditional medications because they want to support their body’s functioning naturally. Yet, sometimes someone asks in frustration, “Why isn’t CBD oil working for me?”

The answer is often not that CBD oil is ineffective – it’s that they’re using it incorrectly or using the wrong product.

Incorrect CBD Oil Dosage

The effects of CBD oil can vary from person to person, as each person’s endocannabinoid system works differently. The ideal CBD oil dosage depends on:

body weight,

metabolism,

age,

and the problem you want to use the CBD oil fo2r (e.g. sleep, stress, pain).

Many people use too little CBD oil and then quickly decide that “it doesn’t work.” However, fine-tuning your dosage is key!

So what should you do if you don’t feel the effects of CBD oil?

- Check the dosage – it may need to be adjusted!
- Use it regularly, daily, for at least 2-4 weeks!
- Try a different spectrum CBD oil!
- Don’t expect an instant miracle – CBD oil is not a medicine, but a natural support!
- Listen to your body and consult a professional if necessary!

WHAT TYPE OF CBD OIL SHOULD I BUY? BROAD SPECTRUM OR FULL SPECTRUM?

Cannabidiol oil, also known as CBD oil, comes in two basic forms: broad spectrum and full spectrum. Before purchasing CBD oil, it’s important to understand the difference between the two products and which one is best for you. In some cases, broad spectrum CBD oil may be better, and in some cases, full spectrum cannabis oil may be more appropriate. Don’t waste your money on a product that isn’t the best for you!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROAD AND FULL SPECTRUM CBD OIL?

Good quality CBD oil contains several cannabinoids in addition to CBD, which enhance each other's effects. This is also confirmed by research, which the scientific literature calls a "companion effect" or synergy effect.

Both good quality full and broad spectrum products contain the cannabinoids produced in the largest quantities by the hemp plant, typically CBDA, CBG, CBN, CBC, but an important difference is that broad spectrum oil does not contain THC, which is the psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant. The accepted level of THC in CBD oils in most European countries is 0.2%, which is not enough to have a strong intoxicating effect of the product, but at this amount it already has a significant therapeutic effect.

WHICH CBD OIL IS BETTER TO YOU? FULL OR BROAD SPECTRUM?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions that has no simple answer. Which oil is best for you depends on a combination of factors.

What illness do you want to use CBD oil to treat?

In the case of psychosis, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, do not use full-spectrum CBD oil, because THC can strengthen the symptoms of the illness. In such cases, a broad-spectrum, i.e. THC-free product is a better choice.

What kind of work do you do?

To perform certain tasks, you must periodically take a drug test. Full-spectrum CBD oil contains relatively little THC, but this does not mean that a drug test will definitely not detect it, so you should not take any risks! Do not use oil containing THC if you are tested! Choose a broad-spectrum CBD product instead.

Professional athletes tested by WADA are not allowed to use broad and full spectrum CBD oil! WADA has only removed CBD from the doping list!

WHO WILL YOU USE THE CBD OIL?

THC crosses the placenta and can affect fetal development, especially brain function. During breastfeeding, THC can also be detected in breast milk, which can negatively affect the development and behavior of the baby, so during pregnancy and breastfeeding, THC-containing CBD oil, even broad-spectrum, is not recommended, because there is not enough information available about the effects of CBD on the fetus.

THC can also affect the developing nervous system. In childhood and adolescence, the brain is particularly sensitive, and THC can negatively affect cognitive function, memory and learning abilities. Long-term use can interfere with normal brain development. Do not use full-spectrum CBD products in children and adolescents. Broad-spectrum oil may be a safer option.

WHICH CBD OIL IS BETTER? FULL-SPECTRUM OR BROAD-SPECTRUM?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions, and there is no simple answer. Which oil is best for you depends on several factors.

What condition do you want to use CBD oil for?

In cases of psychosis, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, you should not use full-spectrum CBD oil, as THC may worsen the symptoms of these conditions. In such cases, broad-spectrum (THC-free) products are the better choice.

What kind of work do you do?

Some jobs require periodic drug testing. Full-spectrum CBD oil contains only a very small amount of THC, but that does not guarantee that it won’t show up on a drug test. You should not take the risk! Avoid THC-containing oils if you are tested. Instead, choose a broad-spectrum CBD product.

Professional athletes tested under WADA regulations cannot use either broad-spectrum or full-spectrum CBD oils! WADA has only removed pure CBD from the banned substance list. 

WHAT DOES CBD OIL CONCENTRATION MEAN?

There are many CBD products available, with different labels and confusing wording regarding the active ingredient content. Some products have a percentage or "strong" and "weak" designation on the packaging, which can be confusing and does not make the decision easier if you are buying cannabis oil for the first time.

We will help you navigate: you only need to know one number to be able to dose properly and this is none other than the amount of active ingredient contained in a single drop of CBD oil. Only in this way can you determine exactly how much you are using!

Another important piece of information is how many drops the cannabis oil package contains. This is important if the manufacturer of the product only states how many milligrams of cannabinoids are in the product. If you know how much oil is in the bottle, you can easily calculate how much CBD is contained in one drop.

KOMPLEX 900 CBD OIL - 30 ml = 900 drops
1 drop = 1 mg active ingredient

We provide this information in the description of every CANNADOL^TM CBD oil on our website and in the instructions included in the product box, in order to make the calculation as easy as possible for everyone!

HOW DO I DOSAGE CBD OIL?

The dosage of CBD oil depends on several factors, such as body weight, metabolism, the condition being treated, and individual sensitivity. It is worth starting with a small dose and increasing the amount of CBD after 4-7 days until you feel a change in your condition. The ingredients of CBD oils are safe and well tolerated by the body, but gradualness is important!

We have summarized in a table the exact CBD dosage recommended to start with and how to progress from the initial dose. Choose the value closest to your weight and start with the value according to Phase 1!

HOW TO TAKE CBD OIL?

CBD should be taken on an empty stomach, either before or at least an hour after a meal. Despite its slightly bitter taste, it is recommended to hold it under the tongue for at least 1 minute, because absorption is more effective through the mucous membrane, but if this does not work, you can also mix it with a spoonful of honey or yogurt. Use the pipette on the bottle to suck up the oil and drop as much under your tongue or into the spoon as your daily CBD dose requires.

HOW TO STORE CBD OIL?

Refrigeration of CBD oil is not necessary, nor is it recommended, as cold can cause the oil to thicken too much. Store at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. CANNADOL^TM products come with a child-safe pipette, but don’t underestimate the ingenuity of children, so store them in a safe place!

HOW IS CANNABIS OIL MADE?

It all starts with choosing the right seed.
At the end of April, the first seed is planted in soil at around 8C and the cannabis harvest begins at the beginning of September. The valuable cannabinoids and essential oils are extracted from the inflorescences of the harvested and dried plants.

The raw cannabis extract produced using the CO2 process is a golden yellow, honey-like substance that contains a large amount of CBD, other cannabinoids, plant waxes, and impurities characteristic of hemp (PAHs), so it must undergo a multi-stage purification process.

During the purification process, harmful PAH compounds and unnecessary plant waxes are also removed.

Raw cannabis extract cannot be dripped without the addition of vegetable oil, so the raw extract with a high CBD content must be diluted with some vegetable oil. The raw extract is mixed with oil made from the plant's own seeds, i.e. hemp seed oil, to obtain its final, drop-able form. CANNADOL^TM CBD oils are made using certified organic hemp seed oil.

WHY DILUTE CBD EXTRACT WITH HEMP SEED OIL?

Hemp seed oil is uniquely rich in essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6), antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. This makes it a significant part of a healthy diet and in supporting the body’s overall well-being.

WHAT IS A GOOD CBD OIL?
MORE THAN JUST CBD

We are stronger together! This is also the case with cannabis compounds. In addition to CBD, there are many other useful components in this wonderful plant, which, reinforcing each other's effects, form a powerful team together. Cannabis varieties that can be grown in the European Union produce the largest amounts of CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBC, CBN, and THC cannabinoids. The more cannabinoids and terpenes we preserve, the more valuable the product we get.

CBD OIL PRICE - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING

Among the many dietary supplements and vitamins, CBD oil stands out not only for its wide therapeutic range and effectiveness, but also for its price.

But what could be the reason for this? Why is the price of CBD oil so high compared to other products?

The answer lies in the complications of cultivation and production, and often in marketing.

The cultivation of cannabis, which forms the basis of CBD oils, and the related technology lay in a coma for a long time and only began to find its footing in the mid-2010s, when more and more economic players entered the market as the plant gained social acceptance.

The cultivation of cannabis still requires high energy and human resources, which significantly increases the cost of production and generates a high starting price.

HOW DO I KNOW FOR SURE HOW MUCH CBD IS IN THE OIL?

CANNADOL^TM cannabis oils are tested by Austria's leading cannabis testing institute, IFHA.

Every production batch is first sent to IFHA before the products are released on the market. The accredited test result proves that our CBD oils also contain other cannabinoids and shows their amount. You can find these test results in the description of each CANNADOLTM CBD oil.
