The Features of a Good CBD Oil
The very beginning of the CBD handling process starts with where and how it is grown, because it is a plant that easily absorbs anything that is in the ground it’s grown in, the product must be pure and free from harsh chemicals, toxins or pesticides. Checking the origin and farming area will be a good indicator as to the authenticity of the product.
Then we need to be sure that the process with which the oil is being extracted is by using CO2 solvents, this compared to butane or propane which are extremely harsh and dangerous, leaves no contaminants behind and ultimately altering the purity.
Pricing is a big indicator, we all know the old saying ‘if it’s too good to be true it probably is,’ well this goes the same for CBD oil.
If the product is priced too low it could mean that it isn’t as pure as you’re looking for and may contain additives, this also doesn’t mean you need to remortgage your house to buy the most expensive on the market because then you’re probably just being taken for a ride, do a bit of research and shop around for an average priced item.
Lastly, read the label. A reputable company will have no issues stating the facts, the labels should say the origins, the process method, and more importantly the ingredients. A decent amount of CBD should be around 250-1000mg per 30ml, anything less and you’re likely wasting your money.
