CBD Isolate

What Is CBD?

CBD, which is short for cannabidiol, is one of over 100 different naturally occurring substances found within the cannabis sativa plant which are known collectively as cannabinoids. CBD products are legal in the UK as long as they contain less than 0.2% THC. THC is another naturally occurring cannabinoid within the cannabis plant, although it differs from CBD in that it is psychoactive and causes users to experience a high. As CBD isolate is a pure form of CBD, it contains zero THC meaning there is no risk of becoming high or any THC entering your system. The health benefits of CBD are yet to be fully understood given that research is still in its early stages, although it has become increasingly popular in the past few years.

How Is CBD Isolate Made?

Like with any other CBD product, the first step in producing CBD isolate is the process of extracting CBD from the hemp plant. Following this, a refinement and purification process then strips away all of the harmful plant matter and THC. Finally, a winterization process then removes the waxes and any other remaining impurities from the plant to leave only CBD in its purest form.

How Do I Use CBD Isolate?

CBD isolate is extremely versatile and there are many different ways it can be used. One of the most favoured methods for using it is to create a base to a CBD cream or topical. Other popular methods include taking it sublingually in its powder form, mixing it with a carrier oil to create CBD oil or CBD vape oil, or using it to create CBD edibles.

How Much CBD Isolate Should I Use?

Given that there are a number of different ways you can use CBD isolate it is very hard to recommend how much you should use as it will differ. However, we strongly recommend that you do not use more than 70mg of CBD per day. Given that CBD isolate is extremely potent we recommend you start slow with a small amount of isolate. If you feel you need more then you can take more the next time you use it. If you are using CBD isolate to make a cream, CBD oil or edible then the best way to know how much to use is to follow a reputable and trusted guide online.

What Are The Benefits of CBD Isolate?

Many of our customers love CBD isolate due to the many methods and uses it has. As more and more people fall in love with CBD more people have begun to experiment with it. Homemade CBD products are a fun way to experiment with CBD and isolate is a brilliant foundation to them. Others are drawn to CBD isolate due to it being nothing but pure CBD. This eliminates the chance of any THC entering the system and potentially showing up on a drugs test. Finally, as it is the purest form of CBD it is one of the most cost effective methods of CBD consumption. You'll need very little amounts of isolate to feel the effects compared to other CBD products, and it's also extremely fast acting in comparison.

Is CBD Isolate Addictive?

No, CBD isolate is not addictive as CBD is a non-addictive substance. You can therefore use it freely and not become addicted. The addictive part of the cannabis plant is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is the psychoactive substance that is responsible for getting recreational users high, and crucially CBD isolate does not contain any THC.

CBD is safe for human consumption, however, given that pure CBD crystals contain 99% CBD then you should be extremely careful not to consume too much.

As always, we would recommend consulting your doctor before consuming CBD and you should not use CBD products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
