If you aren’t confused enough by how a cannabis derivative like CBD could possibly have this many health benefits without any medical professionals knowing it, then the current state of the CBD industry must really have you spinning. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It can be extracted from industrial hemp which is legal now that provisions from the Hemp Farming Act were included in the 2018 Farm Bill. CBD is touted as a health and wellness product that people can use as an anticonvulsant, analgesic, anxiolytic and sleep aid. Women use CBD for PMS, business professionals use it for focus and pet owners are dosing their pets with it to calm them down during thunderstorms or when traveling. If you want to find the best quality CBD gummies, oil, vape or edibles though... good luck.

Unhealthy CBD Products

If you take a look at the vast variety of CBD products available on the market now, it’s difficult to rationalize how you could think of most of them as health and wellness products. The market is full of CBD infused candies packed with sugar more suited for a trick-or-treat bag than an item you might find in a medicine cabinet. You’ll find hard candies, jelly beans and chocolate bars full of CBD, a veritable candy store. Online, you can find an array of CBD recipes for some of the most fattening and artery clogging dishes you could consume. It all looks a lot like recreational marijauna edibles that most people eat to get stoned rather than to treat chronic pain and stress. CBD makes you less achy and calmer, which is great, but still is not the same as getting stoned.

Unregulated CBD Industry

Then there is the fact that the CBD industry still isn’t regulated. Tons of reports are coming in that bottles of CBD oil, edibles and vapes don’t actually have the milligrams of CBD in them that the label’s claim, if they contain any CBD at all. Some of it actually has THC in it which is causing some people to get arrested or lose their job. Responsible companies are paying third party lab testing companies to prove their product’s constituents are what they claim, but many companies don’t bother to pay for third party verification simply because there is no regulatory body forcing them to. How can anyone trust an industry that continuously cuts corners or does not grasp that a wellness product should also be a healthy product? The large volume of unhealthy CBD products eliminates an entire consumer base that struggles with severe medical conditions and need to follow strict diets. Those individuals are the ones that may benefit the most from the medicinal properties of CBD. Let people get their sugar fix in some other way.

Pure Unflavored CBD Oil

For the most part, the only CBD products available that anyone with a severe medical condition is likely to consider is a pure unflavored CBD oil. Most doctors are not going to recommend you use your lungs as a delivery system for anything, especially if you already struggle with a medical condition, which eliminates CBD vape pens. That means patients can drip an oil that tastes like hemp, which frankly just does not taste all that good, under their tongue or swallow it. An unflavored hemp oil goes well in most any food though, so there certainly are ways to disguise the taste and make healthy food with CBD at home. If your diet is geared towards trying to get your body to transition into ketogenesis, a process where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, making keto CBD edibles should not be a problem with a pure CBD oil. There are ways of flavoring products to help improve their taste without compromising on health. It would be logical for CBD companies to focus on those sorts of flavoring methods.

Best Carrier Oils for Bioavailability

Something else to consider when shopping for the best CBD products is the oil used. Some oils are better for carrying CBD through the body than others. Bioavailability is how much CBD can be absorbed into the body to truly give it a chance to soothe pains and stress. Traditional olive oil works well enough, but its thickness makes metabolizing it more difficult and reduces bioavailability relative to a thinner oil. The general consensus is that an MCT oil is the best sort of carrier for CBD. An MCT oil derived from coconuts seems to be the best one with a hint of coconut flavor that most people seem to like.

Laura Brenner and Sugar & Kush CBD

A woman named Laura Brenner fought off stage 3 ovarian cancer in her early thirties after adopting an entirely organic lifestyle that included hemp oil. She became a vegan, exercised and diligently read about how people helped their bodies battle cancer. She read that cannabis helped people destress and get a better night’s sleep. So, she turned her kitchen into a laboratory and made hemp oil. Later, when people started asking how she managed to fight off a disease as awful as cancer, she believed that the hemp oil played a major role in giving her body the strength it needed to eradicate the disease. It inspired her to create a CBD product for the people that really need it. That is why she started Sugar and Kush CBD. Her products are made for diabetics, people struggling with gluten allergies or for people just focused on their overall health and wellness.</>

Conclusion

In your search for the best quality CBD gummies or oils, bear in mind that you need to do your homework. You should buy CBD products online since most convenience or grocery stores are not going to provide a certificate of analysis. A CBD product sold in a dispensary may have THC in it as the CBD may be extracted from the drug-type cannabis plant instead of industrial hemp. If you are looking to avoid failing a drug test or getting high, than you want to avoid anything with THC. Look for a certificate of analysis from a third party lab to verify that the product actually contains CBD and the amount of milligrams found on the label. If you are going to add CBD into your daily regimen along with your vitamins and supplements, make it healthy. You don’t need CBD products giving you cavities or making your triglyceride count leap up on the results of your next blood work. Also, determine what sort of oil the CBD has been infused into so you can get the most out of your CBD dosages. In general, you don’t want to trade in your overall health for the analgesic and anxiolytic properties of CBD.
