While the Utah-based brand offers everything from apparel and bath towels to bed frames and mattresses, today we're here to hone in on its bedding. All Cariloha bedding (and products, for that matter) are made from bamboo from the green hills of the Sichuan Province in China, where the brand's 24,600,000 square-meter, sustainably run bamboo farm is located. </p><p>The brand is fully transparent about its <a href="https://www.cariloha.com/bamboo-sustainability/our-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">farm-to-bed process</a>, ensuring sustainable practices every step of the way. It's because of that and the grade-A <a href="https://www.cariloha.com/bamboo-sustainability/standards" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">quality and standards</a> of the products that Cariloha is certifiably clean and green, with certifications from OEKO-TEX, GOTS, Organic Blended Content Standard, Fair Trade, and CertiPur-US. </p><p>As if that's not enough to convince you to check out the supremely-soft bedding, know that Cariloha has earned recognition from the Green Business Awards, winning in 2020 for providing customers top-notch sustainable bedding and lifestyle offerings, and Eco-Excellence Awards, winning the Friendly Fashion category in 2020. In other words, the brand is well worth your attention.</p><p><strong>Author's Pick: </strong>As someone who has spent her fair share of time snoozing in high-end hotel beds (perks of the job!), I can wholeheartedly say that the Resort Bamboo Bed Sheets are the softest, most luxurious bedding I've ever slept on. Every time I hop into bed, I think to myself just how insanely comfortable they are. I cannot recommend them enough as some of the best organic sheets on the market. Plus, have you seen the blush color? It's gorgeous.</p>Buffy
<div class="rm-shortcode amazon-assets-widget" data-rm-shortcode-id="e2dab6a26d3f600ba622beffc1e2abb9" contenteditable="false"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0848W6PR9?tag=ecowatch-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1" target="_blank"> <img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31TL7w5SGfL.jpg" class="amazon-assets-widget__image widget__image"> </a> </div> <p>Known for being "the world's best hypoallergenic, earth-friendly" comforter brand, Buffy has made a name for itself in the sustainable bedding marketplace. Since the success of its comforter—which is said to be fluffier than a marshmallow—the brand has delved into organic sheets, duvets and pillows, too, all of which are made with the brand's signature eucalyptus (which is OEKO-Tex certified).</p><p>Eucalyptus is known for being an especially sustainable product thanks to the fact that it requires significantly less water to grow. In addition to eucalyptus, Buffy relies on recycled plastic and soft hemp to bring its products to life. The brand also uses GRS (Global Recycling Standard) polyester, again staying true to its earth-friendly mission to #KeepEarthComfy.</p><p>While the materials Buffy uses are notable, to say the least, the company's other sustainable practices are just as worthy of our attention. For starters, the brand offsets all its CO2 emissions generated from freight and customer shipments. Additionally, knowing that the return process makes for even more emissions, Buffy allows customers to donate their returns to cut back on the unnecessary emissions. </p><p>As inspiring as <a href="https://buffy.co/mission" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Buffy's mission</a> is, the brand aims to do even better. On its site, shoppers can find Buffy's plan to become even greener by 2021, 2025, and 2030.</p><p><strong>Author's Pick:</strong> Fair warning: Buffy's comforters are so soft you may very well struggle to get out of bed in the morning. That said, they make for the perfect cozy companion for a day in bed. </p>Sheets & Giggles

Silliness aside, Sheets & Giggles knows what's up when it comes to high-quality, eco-conscious sheets. Like Buffy, it uses eucalyptus to bring its super-soft product offerings to life.</span><br></p><p>Each Sheets & Giggles product is OEKO-TEX 100 certified, FKT Certified (firmly cementing their hypoallergenic nature), and Higg Index Certified (meaning they're fully sustainable from production to the time they wear out). All of the brand's products are vegan, which is another reason they're high on our list of the best organic sheets.</p><p>The takeaway? Sheets & Giggles offers quality bedding—including sheets, pillowcases, duvets, throw blankets, and comforters—that customers can rely on, while also adding a touch of entertainment to all of its product copy. </p><p><strong>Author's Pick:</strong> The Eucalyptus Lyocell Sheets are straight up dreamy. They're softer than any plain cotton sheet I've tried and they're intuitively labeled to show users where each corner actually goes, speeding up the bed-changing process as a result. </p>Bearaby

Part of what led to Bearaby's popularity is not only the stylish chunky weave of its blankets, but also the very materials that go into making them. </p><p>While each of Bearaby's blankets is made with sustainable and/or organic materials—and are <a href="https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/our-standards/standard-100-by-oeko-tex" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oeko-Tex 100 certified</a>, which cements customer confidence in the utmost product safety—the Cotton Napper stands out the most. The smooth blanket—which perpetually feels like the cool side of the pillow—is made with 100% organic, BCI (Better Cotton Initiative)-, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)-, and Fair Trade-certified, sustainably farmed cotton.</p><p>Materials aside, Bearaby puts extra focus into sustainability by donating to One Tree Planted every time a Napper is sold. What's more, it donates $1 for every Napper sold to NAMI (The National Alliance of Mental Illness). Given weighted blankets' therapeutic effect on anxiety and depression, Bearaby holds NAMI close to its core.</p><p><strong>Author's Pick: </strong>While the Bearaby Cotton Napper is a dream for folks who get hot in the middle of the night, the <a href="https://bearaby.com/products/velvet-napper" target="_blank">Velvet Napper</a> is nothing short of divine for cold winter nights. The ultra-soft finish gives it a luxe look and cozy feel that you'll want to wrap yourself up in all day long. </p><p><em><strong>Rebecca R.

These days, CBD products are all the rage and everyone is looking to learn about the best CBD gummies. However, while cannabidiol (CBD) has seemingly skyrocketed in its popularity, many first time consumers still have a wide range of questions about what CBD is, how it can be consumed, as well as the potential impact CBD products can have on health and wellness. In this article, we will specifically examine the best CBD gummies based on quality, potency, flavor variety, and much more.
<p>To begin, one of the first things that you must know about CBD gummies is that they will not get you "high" as the products that we review specifically are very low in THC. </p><p>According to the <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/12/14/the-farm-bill-hemp-and-cbd-explainer/" target="_blank">2018 Farm Bill</a>, CBD products, including CBD gummies, must contain under 0.3% THC in order to be considered legal. So, while cannabidiol is one of over 100 cannabinoids that is present in both hemp and marijuana plants, if you take a CBD edible you will not put yourself in jeopardy with the law.</p><p>Instead, realize that CBD gummies have the potential to help you achieve holistic wellness, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4023456/" target="_blank">improve your focus</a>, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7023045/" target="_blank">reduce inflammation</a>, and many other health benefits. </p><h2>What Are CBD Gummy Bears Good For?</h2><p>When considering all of the different CBD products, it is easy to wonder what makes CBD gummy bears different. Ultimately, CBD gummy bears are edible products and they combine gummy candy along with CBD, offering a delicious alternative to <a data-linked-post="2648638251" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/organic-cbd-oil-2648638251.html" target="_blank">CBD tinctures</a>, which might have limited flavor options. Plus, CBD gummies can take some of the guesswork out of dosing if you are a first time user. With precise dosing, you will know just how much CBD you are actually getting in each serving, offering you peace of mind. </p><p>What's more, is that the benefits of CBD gummy bears are considerable. While CBD products are not approved by the FDA, many cannabidiol shoppers report that through regular usage they are able to achieve a continued <a data-linked-post="2648141513" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/10-best-cbd-anxiety-2648141513.html" target="_blank">sense of calm and lessened anxiety</a>. </p><p>Some other potential benefits include the support of a <a data-linked-post="2649408802" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/best-cbd-for-sleep-2649408802.html" target="_blank">healthy sleep cycle</a>, enhanced focus, improved digestion, and minimization of pain or inflammation. </p><p>Of course, CBD does have the <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/is-cbd-safe-and-effective/faq-20446700" target="_blank">potential for side effects</a>. While CBD gummies are often well tolerated, some people have reported feelings of drowsiness or fatigue as well as a reduced appetite. And if you happen to use prescription medications or have a serious medical condition, you will want to get your doctor's advice before you begin taking CBD edibles. </p><h2>Different Types of CBD Gummies</h2><p>Now, let's examine the three types of CBD gummies: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate. </p><ul class="ee-ul"> <li>Full-spectrum CBD gummies are comprised of all phytocannabinoids that occur in nature in a cannabis plant. This includes varied cannabinoids, terpenes, and oils. <a data-linked-post="2649092883" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/full-spectrum-cbd-oil-2649092883.html" target="_blank">Full-spectrum CBD</a> also will contain some very low levels of THC. However, as we previously noted, in order for CBD products to be legal per the 2018 Farm Bill, the amount of THC must be under 0.3%. Additionally, this amount of THC is unlikely to register on a drug test. One of the major benefits of full-spectrum products is that they are able to produce "The Entourage Effect," meaning that incorporating cannabinoids, terpenes, and oils together will trigger your body's endocannabinoid system, thereby producing greater health benefits.</li><li>Moving on to broad-spectrum CBD edibles, these products contain a hemp extract that is comprised of all naturally occurring compounds in the plant with the exception of THC. Therefore, like full-spectrum products, you will be consuming not only CBD but also other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, meaning your endocannabinoid system will jump to attention. At the same time, you can rest easy knowing that there is zero THC.</li><li>Finally, CBD isolate gummies are made from completely pure CBD. They contain no other cannabinoids, <a data-linked-post="2649030477" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/cannabis-terpenes-2649030477.html" target="_blank">terpenes</a>, or THC. CBD isolate products are highly refined. There are no Entourage Effect benefits associated with CBD isolate gummies.</li></ul><h2>The Best (Vegan, Gluten-free, Non-GMO, and/or Organic) CBD Gummy Brands</h2><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer.

FAQs About CBD Gummies
<h3>How Many CBD Gummies Should You Take?<br></h3><p>The best advice here is to always start on the low end and work your way up until you know the dosage that is right for you. When you first start taking CBD gummies, try taking one or two per serving and then modify accordingly. The majority of CBD edibles take about a half hour to hit your system as they need to be digested. Once this process occurs, you can expect to feel the effects for four to five hours. </p> <p>Also note, your dosage will depend on what you are trying to treat. For instance, if you are taking CBD gummy bears as a daily supplement, the number of gummies you take will likely be less than if you are taking them for anxiety. </p> <h3>Are CBD Gummies Legal?</h3><p>Yes, CBD hemp extract products are completely legal for the <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/is-cbd-legal-heres-what-you-need-to-know-according-to-science#:~:text=Yes%2C%20purchasing%20CBD%20is%20federally,if%20they%20have%20a%20prescription." target="_blank">majority of states</a> within the USA provided they contain less than 0.3% THC per the 2018 Farm Bill. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase. Please note that CBD gummies and other products have not been evaluated by the FDA. </p> <h3>Is It Safe to Ingest CBD Edibles?</h3><p>The World Health Organization (WHO) has noted that cannabidiol is "generally well tolerated, with a good safety profile." However, because the FDA does not regulate CBD, it is <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health-news/cannabis-edibles-health-risks" target="_blank">important to investigate any product</a> that you are considering buying, ensure they publish 3rd party test results and lab reports on their website, and get your doctor's advice if you currently use prescription medications or have any serious medical condition. </p> <h3>Why CBD Gummies Are So Popular</h3><p>In conclusion, CBD gummies are a great pick for any first time consumer who really isn't sure what level of dosage is right for them. Plus, CBD edibles are delicious and come in many flavors, making them the premier choice for any CBD user who doesn't like the way CBD tinctures and oils taste.</p><p>Of course, if you are looking to buy CBD gummies, we encourage you to do your research so you know that you are getting a high quality product. Plus, remember to get your doctor's advice before introducing CBD into your health and wellness regimen.</p><p><em><strong>Josh Hurst</strong> is a journalist, critic, copywriter, and essayist.

Like many other plant-based foods and products, CBD oil is one dietary supplement where "organic" labels are very important to consumers. However, there are little to no regulations within the hemp industry when it comes to deeming a product as organic, which makes it increasingly difficult for shoppers to find the best CBD oil products available on the market.
<p>Here you can learn about the importance of organic hemp oil, why it's better for the environment, and which CBD companies actually make trustworthy products with sustainable farming processes. origins which weigh heavily on many consumers who want to buy a product that's produced in the best way possible for not only themselves to ingest, but for the environment as well through sustainable farming methods. </p><h2>What Is CBD Oil?</h2><p>First things first, CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it's a cannabinoid found within cannabis sativa plants. This plant compound is believed to have many potential benefits, and it is primarily derived from hemp plants via a CO2 extraction process. </p><p>Since CBD is extracted from industrial hemp, which contains only trace amounts of THC (the psychoactive component in cannabis plants), this means that CBD won't make you feel high like marijuana, which has much higher levels of THC that causes psychoactive effects. Instead, the effects of CBD are much more subtle and promote a general sense of calm and relaxation in most users.</p><h2>What Makes a CBD Oil Organic?</h2><p>In terms of organic labels, perhaps the most important (and prominent) certification comes from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This government organization has been labeling foods as "organic" for many years, but what exactly does this certification entail? Essentially, a label indicating that a product is "USDA Organic" or "Certified Organic" means that at least 95% of the ingredients are obtained from organic sources.</p><p>For a crop to be considered organic by the USDA, it must be grown without the use of industrial solvents, irradiation, genetic engineering (GMOs), synthetic pesticides, or chemical fertilizer. Instead, farmers rely on natural substances and <a href="https://www.usda.gov/media/blog/2012/03/22/organic-101-what-usda-organic-label-means" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mechanical, physical, or biologically based farming</a> techniques to cultivate healthy and organic crops.</p><p>Before the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, no hemp-derived products could be dubbed as "certified organic" since the hemp plant and its extracts were still categorized as a Schedule I Controlled Substance. However, it's still difficult for CBD companies to obtain a USDA certified organic label for their products due to the legal grey area that still surrounds CBD extracts. </p><p>Because of these challenges, and due to the fact that industrial hemp has only recently become an agricultural crop, very few CBD oils are USDA certified organic. Rather, many CBD products contain hemp extracts from plants that were grown in organic conditions but may not be federally certified.</p><h2>What are the Best Organic CBD Oil Brands?</h2><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer.

<h2>Why Organic Hemp Oil Matters</h2><p>Hemp is a unique plant, not only for its rich cannabinoid content, but also for its ability to absorb a wide variety of components in soil. But this trait poses great risks when it comes to the creation of CBD products derived from hemp.</p><p>Because hemp has a high capacity for compound uptake, this means that the plants can retain <a href="https://www.remedyreview.com/industry/lab-test-results/" target="_blank">harmful chemicals like pesticides</a>, heavy metals, and other residual solvents. This is especially true when it comes to synthetic chemicals that are more toxic to humans, and difficult to remove once they have been absorbed by the hemp plant.</p><p>Organic farming practices help reduce the risk of hemp crops absorbing harsh chemicals that may later end up in CBD oil after extraction. When you're taking CBD as a wellness supplement to help alleviate your symptoms or improve your overall well-being, the last thing you want is to ingest compounds that might negatively outweigh the benefits of CBD. This is an important reason to look for third party lab test results when shopping for CBD products since these certificates of analysis can show the full cannabinoid and terpene profile of a hemp extract, as well as test results that search for the presence of any residual solvents.</p><p>In addition to creating a better end product, organic farming practices are also better for the environment. Sustainable and organic farming methods may <a href="https://www.helpguide.org/articles/healthy-eating/organic-foods.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy</a>. The use of natural pest deterrents as opposed to chemical pesticides is also better for nearby animal populations and ecosystems.</p><h3>Organic vs. Natural</h3><p>While there are only a select few companies offering certified organic ingredients in their products, almost every brand in the CBD market creates "natural" products. The term "all-natural" or "plant-based" does not mean that a product is organic, and since hemp oil is a natural derivative of hemp plants, these products are often referred to as all-natural. However, there are some synthetic CBD oils that should be avoided because they are chemically constructed and may produce unwanted side effects that are not caused by naturally derived CBD extracts.</p><h2>What are the Benefits of Organic CBD Oil?</h2><p>There's a long list of potential CBD oil health benefits, and some of the most common wellness advantages include:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/" target="_blank">Chronic pain relief</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604171/" target="_blank">Anti-anxiety effects</a></li><li>Better sleep</li><li><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/inner-source/201901/cbd-oil-mental-health-should-you-take-it-too" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Improvements in mood</a></li><li>Internal balance and regulation</li></ul><p>When dealing with pain, inflammation, sleep issues, and mental health struggles, it can be hard to find sufficient treatment options. The use of certain prescriptions can cause unwanted side effects, yet they are often the only solution for patients with these medical conditions. In search of other therapies, people have started to flock towards CBD oil as an alternative remedy for a variety of conditions. However, it should be noted that CBD products are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and you should seek your doctor's advice before using CBD if you have a serious medical condition.</p><h2>Look at the Labels Before You Buy CBD Oil</h2><p>When you go online to buy CBD oil, you'll quickly realize there is an overwhelming number of brands that are saturating the market. It can be difficult to determine which products are truly as good as they make themselves out to be. Always look for up-to-date third-party lab tests so you know you are getting a great product, and don't hesitate to contact the brand if you have any additional questions. And if you're intent on purchasing 100% organic CBD oil, it's best to look for certified products or brands that are held to strict regulatory standards.</p><p><strong>Melena Gurganus </strong>is the Reviews Editor at EcoWatch.

It seems like CBD products are all the rage right now, and you might be curious to know what the hype is about. Cannabidiol, which goes by the acronym CBD, is derived from a sub-strain of Cannabis sativa known as hemp. Unlike marijuana plant extracts, hemp-derived CBD is widely legal across the United States, and CBD products can be used to promote relaxation, reduce inflammation, and may even help you get a better night's rest.
<p>The popularity of these products has led to some major retailers like <a href="https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/cvs-walgreens-carry-cbd-products-whats-next-for-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CVS and Walgreens to feature CBD-infused topicals</a> on their store shelves. However, not every big-name retailer is as trustworthy when it comes to shopping for CBD. While CVS and Walgreens offer high-quality CBD products, third-party sellers (like those found on Amazon) are less than reputable sources to purchase CBD oil from. It's neither safe nor worth your time to shop for CBD oil on Amazon—here's why. </p><h2>Can you buy CBD oil on Amazon?</h2><p>If you head to Amazon to shop for CBD oil, you first must be aware of the fact that Amazon does not allow products containing CBD to be sold on their site. Therefore, when you type in "CBD oil" in the search bar, you will actually receive results for ambiguous "hemp oil" listings that are not only confusing but incredibly misleading. The products that will be featured are, in reality, hemp seed oil, which has no CBD content, unlike true hemp oils that are made from the parts of the plant that contain cannabinoids.</p><h2>Why Amazon does not sell CBD oil?</h2><p>You cannot buy Amazon CBD oil because the platform prohibits certain products that could be construed as drug paraphernalia or contain controlled substances. It is Amazon's policy to only allow "drug products" to be sold that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As such, CBD products, which are not evaluated by the FDA, do not qualify. Additionally, Amazon's policy specifically notes that <a href="https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/200164490?language=en-US&ref=mpbc_200277220_cont_200164490" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CBD products are not allowed to be sold on the website</a>, and this includes full spectrum hemp oil, rich hemp oil, and other products that have been identified by <a href="https://www.legitscript.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LegitScript</a> as containing CBD. </p><p>Ultimately, the reason Amazon does not offer CBD oil stems from the fact that hemp-derived products are difficult to regulate, and still lie within a legal gray area. And while a search for CBD oil on Amazon.com might return several pages of results, the fact of the matter is that those products are being sold illegally on the platform (if they actually contain CBD), or the product description is misleading and does not contain any cannabinoids, and will therefore not elicit any of the potential benefits associated with CBD. </p><p>Hemp oil on Amazon also poses a danger to consumers, as counterfeit or low-quality CBD products sold on the site may not be manufactured in the best way possible, and could contain unwanted chemicals, toxins, or microbials. All of these concerns are addressed with third-party lab testing, which is not provided on Amazon product listings, yet it is a necessary process all CBD goods must undergo to ensure they are safe for consumption. </p><h2>Where to buy CBD oil online</h2><p>It's obvious that Amazon shopping is convenient, and it's hard to deny the fast delivery that comes with a Prime subscription. However, it is much safer to buy high quality CBD hemp oil and other CBD products from reputable brands that operate within the hemp industry. Online shopping also allows you to find detailed reviews and medically-supported guides, <a href="https://www.health.com/mind-body/best-cbd-oil" target="_blank">like these</a>. </p><p>Instead of shopping for CBD oil on Amazon and feeling unsure about what product you might be getting, check out these top CBD companies listed below and learn more about their product offerings.</p><p>Additionally, you don't have to compromise on quick delivery times since these CBD companies offer fast shipping just like Amazon. But unlike Amazon's hemp oil offerings, these products have all been thoroughly tested by third-party labs, and consumers can reference lab reports found on each company's website to know exactly what's in the CBD product you are getting. Plus, all of these products are highly recommended by customers and have been assessed by our team of CBD experts.</p><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.</em><em><br></em></p>
<h2>Why you shouldn't purchase Amazon CBD oil</h2><p>It's important to note that the CBD industry is still highly unregulated, and Amazon has a history of featuring mislabeled and counterfeit products, as well as goods that have been declared unsafe by the FDA and other federal agencies. </p><p>For a few of our CBD round-ups check out these guides on:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li><a data-linked-post="2648638251" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/organic-cbd-oil-2648638251.html" target="_blank">Organic CBD brands</a></li><li><a data-linked-post="2649092883" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/full-spectrum-cbd-oil-2649092883.html" target="_blank">Full spectrum oils</a></li><li><a data-linked-post="2648153441" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/best-cbd-oil-pain-reviews-2648153441.html" target="_blank">Pain management and CBD</a></li></ul><p>We can't stress enough the importance of buying CBD products that offer accurate, up-to-date lab test results, so you can see exactly what cannabinoids and other plant extracts you are buying. By doing some due diligence, you can avoid mislabeled and less-than-stellar CBD oil products from Amazon. </p>

To truly get the most out of life, a person needs to be able to get a good night's sleep, which has led many to wonder if there is anything behind the idea of CBD for sleep improvement.
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.sleephealth.org/sleep-health/the-state-of-sleephealth-in-america/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">American Sleep Apnea Association</a>, an estimated 50 to 70 million people in the United States spanning all ages and socioeconomic classes suffer from sleeplessness. Both men and women are impacted by sleep disturbances, and according to <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/data_statistics.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society</a>, adults aged 18-60 years old need at least seven hours of sleep each night to realize optimal health and well-being. </p><p>Ultimately, when a person does not get the sleep they need they run the risk of developing many chronic health conditions, including high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other mental health issues. Therefore, a person must develop good sleep practices and implement strategies both during the day and before bed that will allow them to get the sleep they need to have a great life. </p><p>In this article, we will explore why Americans have problems sleeping, discuss strategies for improving sleep, and most importantly investigate the role that CBD for sleep improvement could play in helping people achieve a healthy sleep cycle.</p><h2>Can CBD Help Improve Your Sleep?</h2><p>If you feel like your sleep cycle has been completely thrown out of whack, it could be time to look for help in getting back to normal. Even though you may feel tired, you may still be in a position where sleep alludes you, and it is likely because your body is overloaded with stress hormones and cortisol, which is what is keeping you awake. This is where CBD for sleep might offer a solution. </p><p>Cannabidiol, also known by the acronym CBD, has received much attention recently for its potential to help with a wide range of ailments, including anxiety, mood enhancement, and more. Another area it could assist with is its ability to induce sleepiness and help you get a good night's rest. </p><p>According to a 2019 study published in <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6326553/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Permanente Journal on behalf of the National Institutes of Health</a>, CBD was examined for its efficacy in not only treating anxiety problems and post-traumatic stress disorder but also sleep disorders. The results of the study displayed that the patients treated through the use of CBD over the course of three months saw an improvement in their sleep cycles, as well as a lessening of their anxiety and other mental anguish. Administered in doses of 25 mg of CBD, the cannabidiol was well received. Side effects were minimal and typically related to daytime sleepiness and higher doses of CBD.</p><p>It is believed that CBD can improve sleep processes because it triggers the body's endocannabinoid system, a biological system that is comprised of endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes that regulate a variety of bodily functions, including sleep, memory, appetite, and mood. </p><p>Phytocannabinoids like CBD have the potential to interact on an indirect basis with cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, thereby encouraging the body to sleep as well as regulate other hormones that contribute to sleep loss.</p><h2>How to Choose the Best CBD for Sleep</h2><p>If you are interested in CBD for sleep quality improvement, then it is important to do your research and realize that not all CBD tinctures are created equal. </p><p>In order to feel confident knowing that you purchased a high-quality CBD product, only buy from a brand that engages in accredited, third-party lab testing and subsequently publishes its lab reports on its website. You must be able to see that what is on the label of your CBD oil actually is validated through testing processes. </p><p>This also ensures that the CBD oil is free of toxins, including pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, and solvents, and contains the concentration of CBD, terpenes, and other cannabinoids and plant parts that it claims. </p><p>Additionally, if you are buying a CBD product specifically to improve sleep quality, then you may want to consider a full-spectrum CBD tincture as opposed to a broad-spectrum or CBD isolate product. We find that many people note that they have a better experience with full-spectrum because it has a broad range of cannabinoids that work together. This creates synergy and effectively triggers the endocannabinoid system. </p><p>Finally, also consider specifically purchasing a product that contains melatonin, which is a natural hormone that regulates sleep alongside wakefulness. Boosting this particular hormone, which is already found in your body, can truly improve your sleep-wake cycle. </p><p>For the sake of this article, the source and quality of the CBD oils that we will discuss were properly vetted. All recommended products were derived from industrial hemp grown in the United States and contains under 0.3% THC, which is required by law. Additionally, all products have been tested by third-party labs to ensure their quality and safety.</p><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.</em></p><p>To sleep better, consider these three hemp-derived CBD oils: </p><h2>3 Best CBD Oils for Sleep</h2>
<h2>Why is sleep important?<br/></h2><p>Sleep plays an important role in your mental and physical health. When you have a healthy sleep cycle, your body and mind are able to engage in many restorative processes including healing and repairing cognitive and cardiac functions. Even though you may be dreaming, your body is actively working, boosting your immune system, fighting inflammation, regulating digestive processes, and so much more. </p><p>Without healthy sleep, one's body will not be able to effectively fight off diseases and the brain cannot function properly. This not only leads to physical health issues but also can result in a lack of concentration and clear thinking as well as impediments when trying to process and retain memories. </p><p>Sleep problems can also break down the circadian rhythm. For instance, light directly impacts this process. Inside the brain, there is a region of nerve cells called the hypothalamus. Within the hypothalamus is a cell cluster called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Here signals are processed when the eyes are exposed to natural or artificial light, which helps the brain identify whether it is day or night. When natural light dissipates in the evening, melatonin, a natural hormone, is released in the body, which is why you feel drowsy as the night wears on. </p><p>In the morning, as you near your wake cycle, cortisol, another hormone, is released, which helps you feel alert and ready for the day. This is the basis of a healthy sleep cycle, and when it is disrupted, or if your body doesn't produce the natural hormones it needs to regulate this cycle, then you may find yourself suffering for shut-eye. </p><h2>Common Causes of Sleep Loss</h2><p>Poor sleep can be caused by many different factors, including chronic pain, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. Financial and relationship worries can be culprits as well. </p><p>However, as we noted, CBD not only has the potential for helping as a sleep aid and improving sleep quality but also can mitigate and manage anxiety and assist with pain relief through its anti-inflammation properties.</p><h2>Impacts of insomnia</h2><p>Insomnia is a serious sleep disorder that can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). While it is incredibly common and can cause a person to have problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking far too early, the fact is, insomnia can drastically impact your energy level, your work performance, your quality of life, and has the potential to cause negative physical and mental health outcomes. Insomnia can be caused by stress, work and travel schedules, diet and exercise habits, too much screentime, life events such as divorce, job loss, and grief, medications, and more. </p><p>According to the <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/insomnia/symptoms-causes/syc-20355167" target="_blank">Mayo Clinic</a>, chronic insomnia can result in many of the health conditions we have referenced, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc., and can also cause depression and anxiety. </p><p>Many people who have insomnia turn to self-medicating in the form of alcohol and drug abuse because they believe it will help them get to sleep, or they turn to over-the-counter pills and pharmaceuticals, which can be habit-forming and addictive. </p><p>Right now, one in four Americans develops insomnia annually, according to <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/06/180605154114.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Science Daily</a>. However, insomnia remains the most prevalent sleep disorder in the United States, and 40 million Americans suffer from chronic insomnia. </p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>In conclusion, there is no denying that we live in stressful times and because of that many people in the United States are experiencing problems with achieving healthy sleep patterns. However, there is no need to suffer through another night tossing and turning. CBD for sleep is proven to help regulate sleep cycles, promote restful sleep, and could assist with a variety of other medical conditions.</p><p>Just keep in mind that since CBD oil is not regulated by the FDA, you must do your due diligence. If you are considering introducing CBD for sleep quality improvement in your life, consult with a doctor if you have any existing medical conditions prior to beginning use.</p>

Did you know that at least one-third of adults in the U.S. report insufficient sleep or a sleep disorder? If a lack of quality shut-eye sounds familiar, it may be time to try one of the best melatonin supplements on the market.
<p>The amount and quality of your sleep have an impact on everything from memory to <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/sleep-lose-weight-2458560323.html" target="_blank">bodyweight</a> to your immune system. In fact, inadequate sleep is linked to chronic diseases like Alzheimer's and autoimmune disorders, as well as high blood pressure and inflammation. But even in today's fast-paced, exhausting world, settling into a reliable sleep pattern with the recommended 7 to 9 hours is easier said than done. That's why taking a melatonin supplement may have a beneficial impact on your overall health. </p><p>Of course, not all melatonin supplements are created equally. So we're reviewing exactly what melatonin does, the best melatonin supplements for a good night's sleep, and how to know which supplement is right for you.</p><h2>What is Melatonin?</h2><p>Melatonin is a hormone that your body naturally produces. It's made by the pineal gland in your brain. The levels of melatonin your brain produces throughout the day signals to your body whether it's time to sleep or be awake and active. </p><p>In this way, melatonin is critical to healthy sleep. It regulates your circadian rhythm, or the internal clock that controls your sleep phases and waking hours. At night your melatonin production increases. In the morning, melatonin secretion decreases to wake you up with energy. </p><p>If health conditions or lifestyle habits are keeping you from a full night's sleep, you can find over-the-counter sleep medicine, melatonin supplements or, <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/best-cbd-for-sleep-2649408802.html" target="_blank">CBD oil for sleep</a>.</p><h2>The Pros, Cons, and Side Effects of Melatonin</h2><p>Depending on your sleep-wake cycle and conversations with your healthcare provider, it might be a good idea to add a melatonin supplement to your pre-bedtime routine. You're most likely to benefit from melatonin supplementation if you are changing time zones, suffer from <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/10-best-cbd-anxiety-2648141513.html" target="_blank">short-term anxiety</a> that disturbs your sleep, or have a delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD).</p><p>Others who might be interested in the efficacy of melatonin include people with:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Insomnia</li><li>Unusual sleep schedules, such as shift workers</li><li>Seasonal affective disorder </li></ul><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12076414/" target="_blank">Studies</a> show that melatonin supplements between 0.5 milligrams and 5 milligrams are effective in reducing the effects of jet lag between time zones. Travelers should take the pills close to their desired bedtime in the new time zone for best results. Earlier use can result in daytime drowsiness. </p><p>People with insomnia have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep. And while the best melatonin supplementation can ease short-term sleeping problems, medical advice does not recommend long-term reliance on melatonin for sleep. Because melatonin is a dietary supplement not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, the long-term effects and safety of melatonin need further research with larger clinical trials.</p><p>The best way to get the best melatonin benefits is on a short-term basis and at the proper dose.</p><h2>How Much Melatonin Should You Take?</h2><p>When selecting the best melatonin supplement for your needs, the first thing to consider is dosage. As with many drugs, it's best to start with a lower dose and increase from there. </p><p>Start with 1 or 2 milligrams before bed. If you're still experiencing sleep problems, you can increase your dose by 1 or 2 milligrams at a time. And because the long-term effects and effectiveness of melatonin are not yet well known, many doctors <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/melatonin-side-effects/faq-20057874" target="_blank">don't advise taking the supplement every day</a>. </p><p>Children should not take more than 3 to 6 milligrams at a time and should start at 0.5 milligrams. There are pediatric-specific supplements that may be helpful to children with <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/how-to-treat-adhd-naturally-1882177439.html" target="_blank">attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)</a> or <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/autism-genetics-vaccines-chemicals-2639274523.html" target="_blank">autism spectrum disorder</a>. </p><p>Always talk to a medical professional before starting any supplementation. People who should avoid melatonin or take a very low dose include pregnant or breastfeeding women, older adults, young children, and people with epilepsy or seizure disorders. </p><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.</em></p><h2>Best Melatonin Supplements</h2>
<h2>Which Melatonin Supplement is Right for You?<br></h2><p>When it comes to choosing the best melatonin supplement for you, consider the following important product features and relevant health information:</p><p>First, dosage. If this is your first time taking a melatonin supplement, start with a lower dose option. Remember, you can always take two capsules or gummies if you don't see results at first. </p><p>Secondly, price varies quite a bit between melatonin brands. If you want to just try out the supplement before making a big investment, you may want to choose one of the more affordable, smaller packages. </p><p>Next, these melatonin supplements come in several forms. There are chewy gummies, swallowable capsules, and nuggets. If you don't like the idea of chewing on a sweet gummy before bed, then opt for a simple capsule. Or, if you love the idea of getting the health benefits of a <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/17-proven-ways-to-get-a-better-nights-sleep-1891174940.html" target="_blank">good night's sleep</a> from what tastes and looks like candy, then, by all means, go for the gummies.</p><p>Other important things to consider are the added ingredients and allergen labels. Most supplements are vegan and gluten-free but always check the label. In addition, some brands included added ingredients meant to encourage natural sleepiness. </p><p>At the end of the day, everyone deserves a deep and satisfying night of rest. And for the nights when that feels out of reach, it can be helpful to have a high-quality melatonin supplement nearby. Choosing the best melatonin supplement for you takes some consideration, but you can't go wrong with the well-vetted options above.</p><p><em><strong>Lizzy Briskin</strong> is the founder of Earthen Food Co.

Avocado
Increased consumer interest in sustainability has largely driven the expansion of new organic product lines. It's this combination of consumer consciousness and evolved eco-friendly products that has people searching for the best organic mattress.
But there are many brands in this space. We wanted to take a closer look at the Avocado mattress and explore what makes it such a popular pick in the eco-market.
<h2>What should I look for when buying an organic mattress?<br/></h2><p>Whether it's an <a href="http://avocadomattress.n5ka.net/nrJ1V" target="_blank">Avocado mattress</a> or another product from a reputable manufacturer, there are a few things to consider before making a purchase.</p><p>The first thing to know is that accreditation gets a little fuzzy. </p><p>The reality is that not all mattresses claiming to be "natural" or even "organic" will qualify for an official organic label from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). </p><p>In order to do so, mattresses must be made up of 95% certified organic materials. </p><p>In addition, no harmful chemicals can be used in the processing or production of the mattress, which is considered a complex finished textile product. </p><p>As you research, you may find that some mattress manufacturers will call their products "organic" because they use a smattering of organic products—but not enough to carry the USDA seal, a practice that's known as "greenwashing."</p><p>To find a mattress that has been certified organic, you'll want to look for accreditations like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).</p><p><br/></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
<img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDg1MzAwNy9vcmlnaW4ucG5nIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYzOTcwOTM1MH0.LFqDzobbjsMxHhtZv3MQ9iOvBSxDwEQF840cDR8Ze9Y/img.png?width=980" id="5dcba" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="47f0b3694c23691bb74eb2e4329e6271" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" data-width="900" data-height="500" />
</p><p><br/></p><p>You can also look for the GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) logo.</p><p><br/></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p>These two standards help to uphold the 95% organic rule.<br/></p><p><span></span>Once you're squared away with certifications, the rest of the buying process is similar to purchasing a traditional mattress. </p><p>First, you'll want to find one that satisfies your desired level of comfort.<br/></p><p>As a rule, many organic mattresses tend to be a bit stiffer, so testing its firmness—either before purchase or during a trial period after you get it home—is in your best interest. </p><p>Lastly, as with most purchases—especially in the organic space—cost is a factor. A goal of bringing home the best eco-friendly mattress money can buy can price some consumers out of the organic market entirely.</p><h2>What makes Avocado the most popular organic mattress?</h2><p>There are two groups that most people will turn to while researching a product: Expert reviewers and fellow consumers. When it comes to picking the best organic mattress, both the pundits and verified customers agree that an Avocado mattress is at or near the top of the list.</p><p><a href="https://www.usnews.com/360-reviews/mattress/avocado" target="_blank">U.S. News & World Report recently gave Avocado the nod</a> in the categories of best mattress, best for back pain, best for stomach sleepers, best firm mattress and best hybrid mattress, citing its ability to provide a more restful night's sleep.</p><p>Avocado mattresses were also named best healthy mattress and <a href="https://www.health.com/home/healthy-home-awards" target="_blank">best organic mattress in Health.com's Healthy Home Awards</a>, <a href="https://www.shape.com/lifestyle/mind-and-body/best-mattress-in-a-box" target="_blank">best mattress in a box for the environmentally conscious by <em>Shape </em>magazine</a> and <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home-products/g29892090/best-mattresses/" target="_blank">best organic mattress by <em>Good Housekeeping</em></a>.</p><p><span></span>The brand has also received a <a href="https://help.avocadogreenmattress.com/en_us/can-you-show-me-your-aca-certification-SJOs16UED" target="_blank">certificate of endorsement from the American Chiropractic Association</a>, been <a href="https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com/consumer-reports/" target="_blank">consistently lauded by <em>Consumer Reports</em></a> and touts <a href="https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com/natural-mattress-reviews/" target="_blank">more than 18,000 5-star reviews</a> from real Avocado mattress customers.</p><h3>Corporate Stewardship</h3><p>Peeling the curtain back on the company's operations and mission, it's easy to see why so many people consider Avocado to be the best organic mattress.</p><p>The brand's products are American-made, designed in Hoboken, New Jersey, and manufactured by hand in Los Angeles. </p><p>Its factories are powered by renewable energy, and Avocado ethically harvests wool for products from sheep that it raises while also producing its own natural latex.</p><p>It's because of that commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices that the Avocado mattress became the first in the world to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. And earlier this year, the company announced that it now offsets more carbon than it generates. </p><p>It's also important to mention that <a href="http://avocadomattress.n5ka.net/MG32K" target="_blank">Avocado is certified organic by the USDA</a>.</p><p>With a goal of not only providing superior products that promote healthy sleep, Avocado also believes in the power of sustainability and social responsibility—a belief it backs up by donating 1% of all revenues to environmental nonprofits</p><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.</em></p><h3><span></span>Quality Products</h3>
<p>Beyond just its top-selling mattress, Avocado manufacturers ancillary bedroom products like bed frames, dressers and end tables.</p><h2>Do I pay more for an organic mattress?</h2><p>Like any consumer good, organic mattresses come in a variety of price points based on size, comfort level, materials used and amenities. However, generally speaking, you will pay more for an eco-friendly mattress than you might for a traditional mattress. </p><h2>What am I paying for with an organic mattress?<br/></h2><p>Perhaps the biggest reason why someone would purchase an organic mattress is because of its sustainability. </p><p>According to a survey covered in <em>Forbes</em>, more than three-quarters of all participants said they <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesellsmoor/2019/07/23/77-of-people-want-to-learn-how-to-live-more-sustainably/" target="_blank">wanted to learn more about sustainable lifestyles</a>. And for at least some of those people, supporting the environment meant altering their habits of consumption. </p><p>Further, statistics show a substantial cross-section of consumers across various age ranges who are even <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/228380/people-who-pay-more-for-eco-friendly-products-and-services/" target="_blank">willing to pay more for eco-friendly products and services</a>.</p><p>One of the reasons why someone might be willing to pay more to purchase the best organic mattress is for their own safety. </p><p>Products treated with harsh or toxic chemicals can contaminate the air we breathe, a particularly troubling hazard considering <a href="https://www.reference.com/world-view/percentage-average-human-s-life-spent-sleeping-3b3e05c6a8925081" target="_blank">we spend about one-third of our lives in bed</a>. To make matters worse, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that indoor air can be as much as <a href="https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality" target="_blank">five times more polluted than outdoor air</a>.</p><p>There's also the <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/best-mattress/best-organic-mattresses" target="_blank">durability factor of a certified organic mattress</a>, writes SleepFoundation.org. Compared to an organic mattress, there could be several years difference in how long a traditional mattress lasts before wear and tear or loss of support forces a replacement purchase. And because an organic mattress has high-quality materials that maintain its support and shape, you're likely to report better sleep patterns for longer.</p><h2>Final Thoughts on Avocado</h2><p>If your quest to find the best organic mattress has led you to Avocado, it's a good place to start. The brand has a verifiable commitment to sustainability, uses natural and non-toxic materials, and even donates a share of its revenues to nonprofits with a similar mission and vision. </p><p>Whatever direction you go in for your next purchase, we encourage you to think about how your purchases impact the world. Small choices over time add up, and we can all shop a little smarter.</p>

CBD, one of the many compounds found in the cannabis plant, has been getting a lot of attention recently. Some of it good and some of it bad. Increasingly, people in the UK are turning to CBD oils for help in relieving pain, anxiety, sleep and a host of other health issues.
<p>While CBD is gaining in popularity, and more products are becoming available on the high street and online, there is little scientific research to back the claims made by CBD product manufacturers.

<h2>Price Comparison </h2><p>The key numbers to look at are the cost of CBD per mg (how much you're paying for your CBD) and the mg of CBD per mL (how much CBD you're getting per milligram). Where possible, compare each brand's 1,000mg product.

So if you're looking for a higher strength bottle which will last you, paying slightly more initially would be beneficial.</p><h2>What is CBD oil?</h2><p>CBD is short for cannabidiol and is a chemical compound found in all varieties of the cannabis plant. CBD oil has become popular in recent years due to changing worldwide legislation. In the UK specifically, there were several high-profile medical cases relating to medicinal cannabis and the treatment of children with epilepsy and other health conditions. CBD is the non-psychoactive component of cannabis and, it's thought, the primary cannabinoid that interacts with the body's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system" target="_blank">endocannabinoid system</a>. This system promotes homeostasis, or balance, and regulates physiological and cognitive functions such as mood, appetite, and how we feel pain caused by inflammation.</p><p>CBD oil is produced using a range of extraction methods, including CO2 or ethanol extraction, and then added to a carrier oil, such as MCT coconut oil, to create a tincture with a broad range of possible health benefits. CBD oil is just one form that this cannabinoid can be found in and is different to hemp seed oil, which is generally used as a dietary supplement for the essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals it imparts. Hemp seed oil is produced by cold pressing hemp seeds and creating a dark coloured oil with the nutrient-rich composition described above. CBD, on the other hand, is extracted from the flower and leaves of hemp plants.</p><p>CBD is wildly popular for its potential therapeutic effects, which some clinical trials and animal studies have found to help with a number of symptoms and conditions that CBD may help alleviate, including:</p><h3>BENEFITS OF CBD OIL</h3><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Chronic pain</li><li>Nausea</li><li>Migraines</li><li>Appetite</li><li>Seizures</li><li>Psoriasis</li><li>Inflammation</li><li>Insomnia</li></ul><p>The most common health and lifestyle issues that people turn to CBD oil for are:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Anxiety – CBD oil has been found to <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/cbd-for-anxiety" target="_blank">relieve symptoms of anxiety</a> in people in several small studies. This is not restricted to one form of anxiety as social anxiety, generalised anxiety, panic attacks and some forms of depression have all been found to be relieved with CBD oil. It's thought that this is achieved by changing the way the brain reacts to anxiety.</li><li>Pain – CBD oil for pain is another area that anecdotal evidence and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/" target="_blank">limited medical studies</a> show people may find relief. CBD may help reduce inflammation in the body and therefore, relieve pain. Chronic pain, back pain and generalised pain have all been shown to be relieved with CBD oil.</li><li>Sleep – Falling asleep and staying asleep for longer periods may be <a href="https://www.health.com/mind-body/the-best-cbd-for-sleep" target="_blank">enhanced with CBD oil</a>. Both direct and indirect benefits for sleep can be derived from CBD oil. An oil or edible form of CBD can help to calm the mind (indirect) and in some cases, taking CBD can make the user drowsy (direct).</li></ul><p>While there are a wide range of benefits that may be derived from CBD oil, the MHRA – which stands for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and is the equivalent to America's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – has taken the stance that unless a CBD product has been approved as a medication it cannot make any medical claims on its packaging or in its marketing. This means producers need to hold a product licence to legally sell, supply or advertise them as medicine in the UK. However, no licences for selling CBD oil as a medicine have been granted by the MHRA to date. The MHRA advises people to speak to their GP or other healthcare professional if they are considering taking CBD products.</p><h2>Is CBD oil legal in the UK?</h2><p>Yes, but there is some confusion. In the UK and EU, CBD products are completely legal, as long as they have been derived from industrial hemp and contain no more than <a href="https://www.medicpro.london/cbd-regulation-laws-uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1mg of THC per product</a>. But the general advice is that UK CBD oil should contain no more than 0.01% THC, as current testing standards may not be able to detect 1mg of THC.</p><p>It has been reported that CBD Oil in the UK with no more than 0.2% THC is legal but this only applies to the cultivation of hemp and not CBD oils, which are hemp derivatives. Also, any THC contained in CBD products must be difficult to separate from the rest of the product. There are two exceptions to this law; one for Sativex, a 50% CBD and 50% THC product approved by the MHRA as a medication for treating multiple sclerosis symptoms, and for the prescription of cannabis derived medicinal products by specialist clinicians. The second exception came into law in November of 2018 after several cases were brought to court requesting the use of medical cannabis products to alleviate severe epileptic symptoms in two children. </p><h2>CBD strength and concentrations</h2><p> Concentrations of CBD in oils vary from 1mg of CBD per millilitre to 50 or 400mg per millilitre.</p><p>If a bottle has 1000mg of CBD in a 10ml bottle, this means that 100mg of CBD is dissolved in every 1ml of liquid. You can work out the number of milligrams of CBD in each millilitre by dividing the milligrams (weight) of CBD by the millilitres (volume) of the bottle; for this example, that's 1000 divided by 10 which works out at 100mg per ml.</p><p>Many UK-based brands highlight the percentage of CBD in their products, such as 5% or 10% CBD. This simply refers to the weight of the drug by volume measured in grams in 100 millilitres. Using the example above, we need to convert 1,000 milligrams to grams, which is 1 gram of CBD, that's our weight. And as the bottle is 10ml, we divide 1 gram by 10 millilitres, and multiply by 100 to get our percentage, which is 10%.</p><h2>How to dose with CBD oil</h2><p>Advice on how much CBD oil you should take varies. It's almost impossible to find a definitive answer based on clinical guidance so people need to experiment in order to find out what works best for them. It's wise to start with a low dose and work your way up to find a dosage that works for you. Understanding different product types and labelling will help you to properly measure the amount of CBD to take.</p><p>Because dose guidelines are limited, it's best to start low and work your way up to a dose of CBD oil that works for you. One resource we've found suggests starting at 1 – 6mg of CBD per 10lbs of body weight. This would mean an <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11534042" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">average UK woman weighing 11 stone</a>, could take anywhere between 15 – 92mg of CBD per dose. This could be broken into smaller doses throughout the day instead of taking all in one go.</p><p>Typically, 10ml works out to approximately 200 drops. Using the same example above, we know 1ml contains 100mg of CBD. That would mean to take 100mg of CBD you would need 20 drops of the CBD Oil. We got to that number by dividing 200 by 10. To get 15mg of CBD you would need to take only 3 drops.</p><h3>What is the correct CBD oil dosage?</h3><p>How to take CBD and the concentrations for each does will vary depending on the condition you are looking to find relief from. For example, if you're taking CBD oil for anxiety, regular, lower doses seems to be appropriate. CBD oil for sleep calls for a single, higher dose no more than an hour before bed. That's not medical advice, that's what we've gleaned from people who use CBD products.</p><p>Dosing is the most common question people have about CBD oil and other products. It's also the question we're most often asked. We cannot overstate the fact that there is no one definitive answer.</p><p>With that being said, here is a typical dosing guide to help you get started:</p><h2>CBD Oil Dosing Guide</h2><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Symptom Severity</p></td><td><p>25-50lbs</p></td><td><p>50-85lbs</p></td><td><p>85-150lbs</p></td><td><p>150-240lbs</p></td><td><p>240+lbs</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mild</p></td><td><p>6mg</p></td><td><p>9mg</p></td><td><p>12mg</p></td><td><p>18mg</p></td><td><p>22mg</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Medium</p></td><td><p>9mg</p></td><td><p>12mg</p></td><td><p>15mg</p></td><td><p>22mg</p></td><td><p>30mg</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Severe</p></td><td><p>12mg</p></td><td><p>15mg</p></td><td><p>18mg</p></td><td><p>27mg</p></td><td><p>45mg</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>How your body reacts to CBD is different to everyone else. The reason to take CBD is also personal to you – some people want to feel relaxed, others are thinking of a daily supplement to boost their health. CBD oil capsules can give your body a steady supply of cannabinoids to absorb over the course of the day. Oils will have you feeling the effects faster, but they still take time a small amount of time to work their way into your system (usually somewhere between 5 and 20 minutes). If you don't feel the effects immediately, don't take more. CBD can have an accumulative effect so wait a while before re-dosing.</p><h2>Use your head</h2><p>If you want to take 50mg of CBD and buy gummies containing 10mg each, consider the amount of sugar you'll also consume to get your CBD dose. Remember you're looking for a supplement, not a sugary snack. Choose the product that makes the most sense in regard to the dose of CBD you wish to take.</p><p>It's also worth considering price. If you find oils that declare 500mg of CBD for £15, yet everywhere else is selling the same for £50, ask yourself a few questions. Is it likely that the cheaper brand has found a way to lower the cost of growing, extracting and packaging their CBD that the others haven't? It's more likely that the cheaper brand is making bogus claims or misleading you in regards to the quality of CBD in their product? Check online guides, research brands, read a comparison list, and do your homework so you are sure you are purchasing the best CBD products for your individual circumstances.</p><h2>How to buy the right CBD oil online</h2><h3> Consider how much you want to spend</h3><p>Before you purchase CBD oil online, you should consider how much you're comfortable spending. Products can be expensive, so setting an upward limit can help you narrow down the selection and find something that works for you, without breaking your budget. </p><h3>Check the test results</h3><p>The best CBD products and brands show third-party test results on their websites, or sometimes send them to you if requested. There are a few points you should look out for when viewing test results that can help you decide which brand is best for you. </p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Batch numbers – Some brands are fastidious about testing and you can check individual batch numbers for products. This lets you follow a crop from soil, to lab, to bottle. Test results should be recent, within the last quarter is good, within the past year is acceptable, anything more is less helpful.</li><li>Cannabinoid strength, potency and terpene levels – A recent UK study by the <a href="https://www.thecmcuk.org/cbd-in-the-uk-further-update" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Centre for Medical Cannabis</a> found 62% of UK CBD mislabelled. Checking on test results can help you confirm the CBD, THC and other terpene levels found in products.</li><li>Heavy metals and pesticides – Hemp sucks up whatever is in the soil. This can compromise the quality of CBD products and is why we like established brands that use land free from pesticides and heavy metals, as opposed to pop-up brands that may source their product from growers using unproven ground. Test results should show the heavy metal content of CBD products is below the safe threshold.</li><li>Solvents and bacteria – All CBD products should be free from solvents and manufactured in clean facilities that are free from bacteria such as salmonella.</li></ul><p>If you are making a purchase via the internet, always make sure to review recent Certificates of Analysis. </p><h3>Check to see what kind of CBD extract is used in the product</h3><p>CBD products in the UK fall into three different categories: Full spectrum, broad spectrum, and isolate. Full and Broad-spectrum CBD oils are thought to have greater therapeutic benefits as the multiple cannabinoids work together. This is known as the 'entourage effect'. Experts we have spoken to support the idea of 'whole-plant therapy'. Some people may prefer CBD isolate if they are subject to drug tests through work and so on.</p><h3>Consider the taste</h3><p>Some people can stand the taste of hemp. The earthy green flavour can be a turn off. Some CBD oil products have milder hemp flavours or natural additives that mask the hemp flavour to make them more palatable. </p><h3>Shop around</h3><p>While you need to be aware of scammers, there are a lot of great brands that care about their product and customers. In terms of taste and strength of product, you may find it helps to try a range of brands to find the one that suits your personal preferences best.</p><h2>FAQs</h2><h3>Is CBD oil safe?</h3><p>The World Health Organisation (WHO) released a<a href="https://www.who.int/medicines/access/controlled-substances/5.2_CBD.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> report in 2017</a> stating that there was little potential for abuse of CBD. Furthermore, they recognised the potential therapeutic benefits that could be derived from CBD for treating a wide range of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, cancer and diabetic complications, along with general pain, anxiety and depression.</p><h3>Does CBD get you stoned?</h3><p>No. CBD is the non-psychoactive component of cannabis. THC is the compound that has a psychoactive effect when taken in large enough doses (more than the 0.2% found in CBD products). Someone would need to smoke a CBD joint the size of a telephone mast to feel any psychoactive effects. CBD products allow people to get beneficial cannabinoids into their system to help their body function better, without becoming 'high' or 'stoned'.</p><h3>How long does CBD oil last?</h3><p>This partly depends on how quickly your body processes CBD and also the kind of CBD product you use. 6 – 8 hours is generally the length of time CBD oils will provide a noticeable effect.</p><p> Some products, like capsules are considered a daily supplement that needs to be taken over a period of time for it to reach its potential. Other kinds of CBD are faster acting and stronger; these types of products are better for specific issues such as social anxiety, problems with public speaking, or irregular and unexpected pain or discomfort.</p><h3>Can I take too much CBD Oil?</h3><p>You need to be careful about taking anything that will affect your health and if you are taking other medication, you should definitely discuss how CBD might interact with them, with your GP or healthcare professional. That said, most experts agree it is impossible to overdoes on CBD and even the World Health Organisation has published a report stating CBD is non-toxic and safe to use.</p><p>If you do take a very high dose of CBD, you may experience dizziness, lethargy, nausea, dry mouth and diarrhoea, but this will pass as your body processes the dose you have taken.</p><h2>Other types of CBD products</h2><p>This page covers most of what you need to know about CBD oils.

In the throes of a pandemic that has people around the globe racked with anxiety, the desire for something safe and effective at taking the edge off may be greater today than at any time in recent history. For someone battling COVID-19-related stress, cannabidiol (CBD) presents an appealing alternative to harmful or dangerous behaviors. Whether it's full-spectrum CBD oil, broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate, the selections in the space are nearly endless—and continuing to grow.
<p>If you're a newcomer to the scene, it can be easy to get confused about not only the different types of CBD but also what it's made of and what it does to your body. First, you should know that CBD is one of more than 100+ cannabinoids (naturally occurring chemical compounds) found in the cannabis plant. If the word cannabis sets off alarms in your head, it's probably because you're equating it to marijuana and getting high. The difference is that marijuana gets you high because of the presence of another cannabinoid called tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC, <em>not</em> CBD.</p><p>We'll get into the details later about how (and why) these different cannabinoids affect your body in the ways that they do, but the important thing to remember is that experiences can vary greatly based on the chemical composition of the product you're using.</p><h2>What is full spectrum CBD?
</h2><p>Some of the most popular products on the market today are those that contain full-spectrum CBD oil. While the delivery mechanism can be anything from a tincture you take under your tongue with a dropper to gummies you swallow, these are great products that contain more than just CBD.</p><p>Full-spectrum CBD products incorporate additional parts of the cannabis plant, including other cannabinoids and terpenes, aromatics found in the plant's essential oils that supply the strain with its unique scent. Beyond just CBD, some of the most popular cannabinoids that you'll find in full-spectrum CBD oil are trace amounts of THC, cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinol (CBN) and cannabichromene (CBC).</p><h2>Full spectrum vs. CBD isolate vs. broad spectrum </h2><p>Full-spectrum CBD oil won't be for everyone. Some might be put off by the presence of both CBD <em>and </em>THC, while others may not enjoy the oil's earthy and musky flavor profile. The good news is there are several other categories of CBD products to dabble in that might make you feel more comfortable or that you find easier to stomach.</p><p>We already talked about how full-spectrum or is derived from cannabis plants, but we should also mention that it comes from industrial hemp plants. These are cannabis Sativa plants that contain high concentrations of CBD and less than 0.3% THC, a ratio that legalizes the plant's contents on a national level, thanks to the passage of the 2018 United States Farm Bill. As mentioned, these hemp plants contain other cannabinoids and terpenes, making use of the whole plant.</p><p>On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, you will find CBD isolate. Products that feature CBD isolate have been heavily purified and distilled of any and all terpenes and cannabinoids besides CBD. These THC-free products are great for anyone looking to take advantage of pure CBD's therapeutic properties without worrying about THC's psychoactive effects (though products derived from industrial hemp plants shouldn't cause them anyway). </p><p>Broad-spectrum CBD oil exists right in the middle of full spectrum and CBD isolate. Similar to CBD isolate, broad spectrum is THC free, but it does include some of the other terpenes and cannabinoids that you might find in full spectrum like CBN and CBG.</p><h2>What are the benefits of full spectrum CBD oil?
</h2><p>There's a reason why CBD has been praised by everyone from grandmothers to athletes and movie stars to physicians. It has the potential to pack a punch and a whole litany of health benefits. </p><p>It certainly isn't intended to prevent any disease, and you should always consult with your doctor before trying any new regimen, but CBD's reputation speaks for itself. For one, scientific research conducted on mice has proven that CBD and other cannabinoids can be<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> effective in the management of difficult to treat pain</a>.</p><p>Earlier, we mentioned the ongoing pandemic and the impact the current state of affairs is having on our collective mental state. CBD has already been<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3763649/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> shown to reduce social anxiety</a> and<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604171/pdf/13311_2015_Article_387.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> multiple other forms of anxiety disorders</a>, as studied in animal models. </p><p>Other animal and human studies have illustrated potential benefits of full-spectrum CBD oil that include:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Regulation of<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3165951/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> nausea and vomiting</a></li><li>Reduction in the<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5767492/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> severity and frequency of seizures</a></li><li>Management of neurodegenerative conditions, including<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5436333/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Parkinson's disease</a>,<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4604191/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> epilepsy</a> and<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5481305/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> multiple sclerosis</a> </li></ul><p>The reason why CBD has such a profound effect on the body is due to a functionality called the endocannabinoid system, or ECS. The ECS works hard to keep your body in a state of steadiness called homeostasis so that your sleep, mood, appetite and other bodily functions remain stable. It does this by interacting with cannabinoid receptors throughout the body.</p><p>One of the most significant advantages to full-spectrum CBD oil comes courtesy of something called the entourage effect. This concept reinforces that the whole of the cannabis plant is greater than the sum of its parts—meaning that when multiple cannabinoids work together, the effects of each become supercharged and intensified.</p><h2>Best full spectrum CBD oils
</h2><p>As you start to explore the world of full-spectrum CBD oils, it's natural to wonder which product is the right one for you. The best thing to do is to try multiple different products and doses until you find one that you're comfortable with and that achieves the results you desire. However, we have put together a shortlist of three of our favorites that were selected based on a strict criteria that includes price, hemp sourcing, customer reviews and third-party lab tests that help to verify exactly what's in the product.</p><p><em>Each product featured here has been independently selected by the writer. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.</em></p>
<h2>Is full spectrum CBD oil right for you?<br></h2><p>As with anything related to wellness, there are many variables in play—so it's hard to say. There are definitely advantages to full-spectrum CBD oil that you just can't get with CBD isolate or even broad spectrum. CBD should never make you feel high, but products that contain even trace amounts of THC could cause a positive drug test. You should always keep that and your personal circumstances in mind as you select your CBD products. Also know there are many <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/organic-cbd-oil-2648638251.html" target="_blank">organic options</a> available. </p><p>We haven't touched much on the safety of CBD, but it bears mentioning that the World Health Organization has said, "<a href="https://www.who.int/medicines/access/controlled-substances/CannabidiolCriticalReview.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CBD is generally well tolerated</a> with a good safety profile." One of the few side effects beyond fatigue or a mild stomach ache is an adverse reaction between CBD and other prescription medicines. If you're currently undergoing a course of medication, check with your physician to ensure you can safely add CBD to the mix before beginning to dose.</p>

For anyone seeking a holistic, natural path to improved health and wellness, CBD is well worth considering. CBD, or cannabidiol, is the second most prevalent of the active ingredients in cannabis; derived from a hemp plant, CBD products boast a number of therapeutic effects, available without the intoxicating effects of THC.
<p>There are a number of delivery methods for CBD, ranging from edibles (<a data-linked-post="2649659347" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/best-cbd-gummies-2649659347.html" target="_blank">like CBD gummies</a>) to topicals (CBD creams and ointments) to <a data-linked-post="2648638251" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/organic-cbd-oil-2648638251.html" target="_blank">CBD oil tinctures</a>. For many, however, the ideal way to get CBD into their system is through a capsule, pill, or softgel. The question is, which of these products is most readily recommended? </p><p>Take a look at the following recommendations to discover the best CBD capsules, softgels, and pills of 2020. We'll do a deep dive into our top capsule picks:</p><ol class="ee-ol"><li>CBDistillery Capsules</li><li>NuLeaf Naturals Capsules</li><li>Medterra Capsules</li><li>Prima CBD Softgels</li><li>Plus CBD Softgels</li></ol><div>But first, let's talk a bit about why you might buy CBD capsules.</div>
<h2>How Do CBD Capsules Work?</h2><p>First things first: It's worth noting that, for all intents and purposes, CBD pills, capsules, and softgels are the same thing. Basically, we're talking about CBD powder or oil that's condensed into a small, solid consumable. </p>
<p>Once CBD is consumed, it begins to interact with the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2241751/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">endocannabinoid system</a>. This is the body's internal framework for regulating key functions that relate to your mood. Some examples include drowsiness and sleep; stress and anxiety; even the sensation of pain.</p>
<p>It's through CBD's binding with the endocannabinoid system that it can potentially help enhance sleep or heighten alertness; regulate mood and mediate stress, and; minimize aches and inflammation. CBD has been connected with <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2503660/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chronic pain management</a>, <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180516172255.htm#:~:text=FULL%20STORY-,Cannabidiol%20(CBD)%2C%20a%20compound%20derived%20from%20the%20cannabis%20plant,severe%20form%20of%20epilepsy%20called" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">treatment of seizures</a>, and more.</p>
<h2>Benefits and Risks of CBD Capsules</h2><p>Essentially, CBD capsules offer the same health and wellness benefits as other CBD delivery methods, including the standard CBD tincture and edibles, to name a few. The reason why many people prefer CBD gel capsules is simply that they provide greater convenience; you can take a pill quickly or when you're on the go.</p>
<p>Also, pills make dosing easy. With oils, the harder part is ensuring the proper amount of CBD to get the intended effect. With CBD pills and capsules, the dosing is done for you, and you can always know for certain exactly what quantity of CBD you're getting.</p>
<p>Finally, CBD oil capsules eliminate any worries about flavor. Some people simply don't care for the earthy hemp taste that <a data-linked-post="2649092883" href="https://www.ecowatch.com/full-spectrum-cbd-oil-2649092883.html" target="_blank">full spectrum CBD oils</a> have. Capsules make this issue a thing of the past.</p>
<p>It's important to recognize that there can be some minor side effects associated with any CBD product, including capsules. However, these side effects are almost always associated either with incorrect dosing, or with the selection of an inferior product.</p>
<p>So what <em>are </em>the best products? We've compiled a list of five recommendations, based on personal testing as well as a careful review of customer testimonials, third party lab tests, and more. As you prepare to buy CBD capsules, the following five options are the ones we most highly recommend.<br></p><h2>5 Best CBD Capsules and Pills</h2>

What to Look for in a Quality CBD Capsule
<p>As you look for the best CBD capsules, there are a number of factors to keep in mind. You'll certainly want to pay attention to the type of CBD you're getting, though we'll note that we've listed all broad spectrum CBD extracts here. Also pay attention to any added ingredients; for example, what's the carrier oil? (Seek products that use either natural hemp seed or coconut oil.) And are additional substances, like melatonin, used to enhance the CBD's effect? It's certainly not a bad thing to get these extras, but it's something you'll want to know before you buy.</p> <p>Most of all, make certain you choose a product that's sourced from a high-quality hemp farm in the United States, with a product that is carefully tested for quality and purity by a third party lab. We highly recommend ensuring the company you choose to buy from makes all lab test results easily accessible on their website.</p>Are CBD capsules right for you?
<p>One final note: The <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/public-health-focus/fda-regulation-cannabis-and-cannabis-derived-products-including-cannabidiol-cbd" target="_blank">FDA has not evaluated these products</a>, so if you have any concerns, it may be worth chatting with your doctor. For anyone who's curious about the pain relief or calming effects that CBD claims, and who wishes to try properly-dosed, natural hemp over prescription medications, these capsules may represent a good point of entry.</p><p><em><strong>Josh Hurst</strong> is a journalist, critic, copywriter, and essayist.

One of the first things to look at is the concentration of CBD within the product. Next, take a look at the milligrams of CBD that there are in a single serving. The best quality products clearly have all the facts and information laid out on their labels. In reading the labels, you should be able to tell exactly how much CBD you are getting per serving. How much CBD you need to be taking depends on how your body reacts to the product over time. </p>
<p>CBD strength per serving will appear smaller when compared to the listing of CBD for the whole bottle. In looking for the strongest CBD oil, look to the serving size listed on the bottle. The total amount of CBD in a bottle will do very little to tell you how strong the product is overall. For example, 2400mg of CBD oil in a 30ml bottle is a lot stronger than 5000mg of CBD oil in a 60ml bottle. </p>
<h2>How Much CBD Oil Is Enough?</h2><p>Everyone's body is different, therefore, what works well for one person might not work that great for another. Smaller individuals might need less CBD than larger individuals based sheerly on body size and overall mass. Along with body size, the symptoms and their severity are another consideration in purchasing strong CBD oil. </p>
<p>Likewise, if you are new to CBD or have minor symptoms and issues, consider purchasing CBD oil in strengths of 300mg, 500mg, or 750mg. Conversely, if you have been taking CBD for quite some time or are trying to alleviate and potentially heal the severe symptoms of one or more illnesses, then you might consider purchasing oils of higher potencies such as 600mg, 1200mg, or 2400mg strengths. </p>
<p>Whatever oil strength you choose, you should first start low and go slow when it comes to dosing. For example, begin by taking 5mg of CBD once a day for one week. If you are not feeling any relief from your pain, then go ahead and take 5mg twice a day. Continue increasing the dosage slowly until you are achieving the desired effects. Always check in with yourself to see how you are feeling along the way. This will help you to determine if you should increase the dosage at all. As with any other medication or holistic supplement, your body will need adequate time to get used to a new CBD dosage. </p>
<p>To use a real life example: when you receive your bottle of CBD, begin by taking ½ a dropper of FAB CBD's full-spectrum oil once a day for one week. This will equal about 5mg of CBD. After one week has passed, increase the dose to ½ a dropper two times a day for a week. This will now equal about 10mg of CBD a day. While you are going through this, do a body check-in to see how you are feeling and what your pain levels are, if you have any. This will be the best way to determine whether or not you should increase your dose of CBD.</p>
<h2>Should You Take The Strongest Potency CBD Oil?</h2><p>As with any natural supplement, there are a list of pros and cons that come along with CBD. Each one of these should be taken with the utmost consideration before purchasing an oil of a higher or of the highest strength. In taking the strongest CBD oils, here are the benefits vs the drawbacks: </p>
<p>Benefits: </p>
<ul><li>You need less of the oil to have an impact</li><li>Stronger potencies have a better impact on severe symptoms as well as larger people</li><li>Since you will need to take less of the oil, stronger doses are more affordable in the long-run</li><li>Stronger oils work better in tackling sleep issues and decreasing pain</li></ul>
<p>Drawbacks:</p>
<ul><li>Stronger oils may not be for everyone, as they can cause some mild side effects including dry mouth, lowered blood pressure, and lightheadedness/dizziness</li><li>It may be difficult to find the right dosage for you with stronger oils</li><li>Stronger oils can have a sedating effect</li></ul>
<h2>The Science on CBD Oil</h2><p>CBD oil is created when cannabidiol, or CBD, is infused into a fat-based carrier oil such as coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or olive oil. Carrier oils are usually medium-chain triglycerides that are easily digested by the body. The very basic oils will only have CBD and the carrier oil, however, some can also contain other compounds such as tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, flavonoids, phytonutrients, and terpenes. Some brands will also infuse various natural flavors or essential oils into the final products.</p>
<p>CBD oil can vary in color, flavor, and consistency depending on its makeup. Likewise, the strength also depends on the oil's formulation. CBD oils can be isolates, broad spectrum, or full-spectrum. In CBD isolates, only pure CBD is used. These oils are usually 99 percent pure. CBD isolates are typically made solely from the hemp plant. </p>
<p>Broad-spectrum and full-spectrum oils, on the other hand, are typically sourced from the cannabis plant and have had minimal processing and purification. These oils have a large amount of cannabinoids, terpenes, nutrients, vitamins, and phytonutrients.</p>
<p>Along with CBD, one of the main compounds in full-spectrum oils is THC. In large amounts, THC causes feelings of euphoria. However, legally, all CBD crafted and sold within the United States must contain less than 0.3% THC. When CBD and THC are combined, an <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2018.01969/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">entourage effect</a> occurs. In the entourage effect, the compounds work together to dampen each other's negative side effects while amplifying each other's best qualities. For example, too much THC can cause feelings of nausea or dizziness. However, when THC is combined with CBD, the THC enables those with sleep issues to finally get some rest, and helps those with extreme nausea, due to <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29940172/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cancer treatment</a>, finally get some much-needed nourishment by causing feelings of hunger. Put simply, the cannabinoids bind with cell receptors in the human <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5877694/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">endocannabinoid system</a> to create therapeutic effects. </p>

Strength equates to potency. In a 30ml bottle of CBD oil, you could have 3,000mg of CBD or 6,000mg of CBD depending on which you purchase. The stronger bottle will have 6,000mg of CBD per bottle, as you would have to take twice as much of the 3,000mg CBD to equal just one dose of the 6,000mg bottle. </p>
<p>CBD brands test the potency during every stage of oil production. They test hemp plants, then they test the initial crude oil, and they also continually test the oil during every stage of the distillation process. The reason that there is so much testing done to the product is because reputable brands need to ensure that the oils they are creating are of the best quality, consistency, and that their products are falling within the legal guidelines. </p>
<p>Reputable brands, like the ones we've profiled above, bring in independent laboratories to test the overall oil strength by analyzing for 14 minor and major cannabinoids including CBD, THC, CBN, and CBG. Their results show the overall percentages of these compounds that are in the oil. All reputable brands will then make those results easily available on their website or within the product packaging. </p>
<h2>Why Strength Matters</h2><p>The strength of an oil <em>does </em>matter. The more potent a CBD oil is, the better effects it will create. To that end, full-spectrum oils are the best oils to go with because CBD isolates do not have all of the other vitamins, terpenes, compounds, and phytonutrients that full-spectrum oils have. So, not only will you be getting all the positive effects that a strong oil has to offer, you'll also be able to receive the vast therapeutic benefits that the many compounds, terpenes, and phytonutrients bring to the table. </p>
<p>When it comes to receiving the therapeutic benefits of a strong, full-spectrum oil, experts advise to hold the oil under your tongue for a few minutes (up to four minutes) in order for the oil to enter into your bloodstream. Otherwise, if you swallow the oil right away, the oil will be quickly broken down by the body's digestive system. </p>
<h2>Is It Safe To Take Strong CBD Oil?</h2><p>This is a common question asked by many who are new to the world of CBD. Regardless of the strength, CBD oil is very safe. In fact, there are very few minor side effects associated with it. To date, a great <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5569602/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">number of studies</a> have been done on CBD proving it's safety and efficacy. </p>
<p>Some of the most common side effects associated with CBD are: </p>
<ul><li>Dizziness</li><li>Nausea</li><li>Changes in weight</li><li>Diarrhea</li><li>Drowsiness</li><li>Changes in appetite</li></ul>
<p>When you take into consideration the many dangerous side effects associated with prescription medications, CBD is a very safe alternative. Therefore, it's no surprise that more people are turning to more potent options of CBD to help with tough health issues. </p>
<img lazy-loadable="true" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDY0MTI2Ni9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYxMjYyMzQ0Nn0.O8mkqgF15OLN6hmFby_z4ZXZSbMEk_xihf47gxK4vCM/img.jpg?width=980" id="60151" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="2eed3f877cc1f3728f1766b5f11aca59" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" data-width="1080" data-height="1080" /><h2>Our Final Thoughts On The Strongest CBD Oils</h2><p>There are many different strengths of CBD oil available. And while there are benefits to using CBD oil regardless of the potency, stronger oils are recommended for larger individuals or for people who are trying to get a handle on difficult health conditions such as sleep issues, severe arthritis pain, Crohn's Disease, osteoarthritis, cancer-related nausea, and others. </p>
<p>In selecting a strong oil, you first need to do the research so that you can make sure you are buying a high quality product from a reputable brand. When you find a brand you like, go ahead and look deeply into the brand's hemp sources, oil strengths and purities, verified customer reviews, transparency, and whether or not the brand used a third-party lab to test its products and if those results were made readily available for customers to find. </p>
<p>Less oil needs to be consumed when stronger oils are used. In order to receive the most benefits from the dose, it's advised to hold the oil under your tongue for about four minutes so that it can be properly absorbed into the bloodstream. Simply swallowing the oil means that the digestive system will break it down faster than you can obtain any benefits. </p>
<p>Countless studies verify the fact that CBD is a safe, alternative treatment to dangerous prescription medications that come with a host of side effects and that can be potentially addicting. The side effects associated with CBD are extremely mild, CBD is also non-addictive. In fact, there is no way to ever overdose on CBD. </p>
<p>When it comes to selecting a brand to go with, keep in mind that not every brand is created equal. While it's great to have so many options to choose from, you really need to put the work in to make sure you are purchasing the best possible product from the best possible brand. </p><p>If you're becoming frustrated or overwhelmed in your research, feel free to use our article as a guide. </p><p>We've chosen FAB as our number one choice in our <a href="https://canfightbac.org/Strong-fab-cbd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">strongest CBD oils</a> guide because FAB has a stellar reputation for putting out the best, most potent, cleanest CBD oils on the market today. The brand is also extremely transparent in the way that it operates and in the overall production process of its products. FAB also uses an independent third-party lab, ProVerde Laboratories, to regularly test all of its products. Those results are then made easy for customers to find on FAB's website. </p><p>By law, all CBD oils that are sold and purchased within the United States must contain less than 0.3% THC in them. Oils that have over that amount clearly are not following the mandatory legal guidelines. Another fact to keep in mind is that while strong oils are great, the type of oil matters too. CBD isolates, while fantastic in their own way, do not contain any of the vitamins, cannabinoid compounds, terpenes, and phytonutrients that broad spectrum or full-spectrum oils do. The combination of strength and what the oil consists of is what determines its effectiveness and therapeutic value. </p><p>In selecting a strength, remember that a 3,000mg oil will be less strong than a 6,000mg oil if they are both sold in a 30ml bottle. However, if you have 2,400mg of CBD in a 30ml bottle and 5,000mg in an 80ml bottle, then the smaller, 30ml bottle with 2,400mg of CBD will be more potent. Therefore, in selecting a product, you will absolutely need to take your time and choose wisely. </p><p>Lastly, if you have any questions or concerns surrounding CBD, potential side effects, strengths, etc., then please do not hesitate to reach out to your primary care physician or specialist to set up an appointment to discuss things more at length. When you think about all of the dangerous side effects and drawbacks associated with prescription medication, then it's easy to see why more people are using CBD as a natural, safe, effective, alternative way to help ease tough health conditions. </p><p>CBD oil can be a great addition to any natural healthcare routine. Just make sure you are putting in the time and effort to find the product and the brand that is best suited to your own unique needs, condition, and lifestyle.</p>

Many pet owners have shown interest in finding new ways to enhance the health and wellbeing of their pets. In their search, people have ventured into the cannabis space and read that CBD offers a wide range of health benefits for animals. For those that have personally tried CBD on their pets, they say it has the potential to reduce pain, anxiety, and seizures, among other advantages.
<p>To help clarify any misconceptions about the use of CBD on animals, we wanted to outline important information regarding effects, dosing, and scientific research related to CBD use on pets.</p><p>Although your veterinarian will likely tell you something along the lines of "research is ongoing and we're not making recommendations now," it's worth doing your own research to find the best solution for your pet. You may be on your own, but you can still find healthy solutions that work—just know that you'll be giving your pet CBD at your own risk.</p>
CBD Oil for Dogs
<p>When it comes to cannabis, dogs have a slightly different endocannabinoid system than humans. Canines have a higher concentration of CB1 receptors in the cerebellum than any other species, and THC is a partial agonist of these receptors. This means that dogs have increased sensitivity to THC, but is CBD is different because it does not have much direct action with these CB1 receptors. Because if this, it's unlikely that CBD would harm your dog, but anything heavy in THC should probably be avoided unless prompted otherwise by a trusted vet.<br></p><p>While THC may have medicinal value, it can produce a psychoactive effect that might actually increase anxiety in animals when administered in high doses. If you want to introduce cannabis extracted ingredients into your dog's diet, it's generally safer to use CBD dominant extracts.</p><p>Although THC and CBD can be used in conjunction for therapeutic purposes, it's more difficult to obtain extracts with a high concentration of THC—unless you live in one of the few states that allows for recreational marijuana use. Cannabis extracts that are high in CBD and low in THC are preferred, as they are considered to be <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1525505016305856" target="_blank">widely available and legal</a> in more areas. Lab test results, especially from a third party lab, can determine the percentage of CBD and THC within a cannabis extract. This way, you can ensure that any cannabis extract given to your dog is accurately labeled.</p>Top CBD Oils for Dogs

Benefits of CBD Oil for Dogs
<p>There are plenty of personal stories about the health benefits of CBD on pets, but what science is there to back up these claims?</p><p>One survey from the <a href="https://www.avma.org/javma-news/2018-08-01/cannabis-research-veterinary-patients-advancing-cautiously" target="_blank">American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association</a> (AHVMA) included responses from more than 600 pet owners, and found that the most successful uses of CBD in pets were:</p><ul><li>Pain relief</li><li>Sleep aid</li><li>Anxiety relief (including thunderstorm or firework phobia)</li><li>Nervous system support</li><li>Reduced inflammation</li><li>Reduced seizures</li><li>Preventing vomiting and nausea</li><li>Mitigating muscle spasms</li><li>Helping with digestive tract issues</li><li>Skin condition treatments</li></ul><p>On top of these findings, a <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2018.00165/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent scientific study</a> conducted by Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine has shown that CBD oil helped decrease pain, and increase activity, in dogs suffering from osteoarthritis.</p><p>With this information, it appears that there may be some validity to the health claims of CBD.</p><p>But how do you introduce CBD to your pet?</p>How to Choose the Right CBD Product for Your Pet
<p>With increased popularity in CBD and hemp products, new sellers are popping up everyday. There are a range of CBD products designed for the pet owners, including:</p><ul><li>Oils</li><li>Sprays (oral and topical)</li><li>Dog treats</li><li>Balms, salves, and other topical treatments</li></ul><p>It can be difficult to distinguish between the quality of different brands and what product is best suited for your pet. You'll want to do your homework before buying anything. We recommend using CBD products that are intended for pets, as well as brands who use third-party labs to verify CBD potency and test for the presence of any pesticides, microbials, or solvents.</p><p>Most quality CBD pet products will have dosing guidelines, which makes it easier for owners to give their animal the right amount. But these guidelines are often coming from the company, not a veterinarian, so keep this in mind.</p><p>It's important to take existing medications into consideration before using CBD on your pet, as it may alter the efficacy of these treatments for certain conditions. According to Dr. Tim Shu, CEO and founder of <a href="https://vetcbd.com/" target="_blank">VETCBD</a>, "CBD has been shown to be very safe across a wide range of doses in multiple animal species. But if an animal is on other medications, especially ones with narrow therapeutic ranges, a pet owner should discuss the concurrent use of CBD with their veterinarian prior to starting."</p><p>Using CBD products designed for human consumption can be a bit more difficult, and they may include ingredients that are not healthy for dogs or cats to ingest. Currently, there are no pet products certified by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).</p>Look for Tested Products
<ol><li><strong>CBD products extracted from hemp:</strong> CBD can be extracted from hemp or marijuana, as both plants are from the cannabis family. Marijuana plants contain more THC than hemp plants, so it's likely that marijuana extracted CBD products will have a higher concentration of THC. CBD oils extracted from hemp can sometimes distill out these cannabinoids and terpenes to create a CBD isolate, but we recommend using full-spectrum CBD extracts for a synergistic effect and greater therapeutic value.</li><li><strong>The product's origin story: </strong>Since cannabis is a hyperaccumulator, it absorbs the elements of the ground within which it was grown. This is of particular concern when it comes to CBD oil because heavy metal toxicity can be prevalent, and you certainly don't want to feed your pet anything toxic. Even "natural" doesn't always equal safe.</li><li><strong>Is it infused with oil? </strong>CBD oil for dogs is easy to add into your pet's food without them detecting a difference. For ease of absorption, look for a CBD product that's infused with olive oil. Olive oil is rich in unsaturated fats, and healthier for your pet than other options like coconut oil. According to <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/coconut-oil-for-dogs#section4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Healthline</a>, the saturated fats in coconut oil may cause diarrhea or even high cholesterol when given to your pet in excess.</li><li><strong>Is it made with CBD or hemp seed oil? </strong>Hemp seed oil is not the same as CBD oil, and this can cause some confusion. Hemp seed extract is pressed from the seeds of hemp to produce an oil that may help give your dog a shinier coat or better skin, but it does not contain any cannabinoids.</li></ol><p>We know this is a lot of information to take in while searching for quality hemp extracts for your pet. Our curated list above features some of our favorite CBD brands selling pet products.</p>What Are the Side Effects and Risks?
<p>The biggest risks presented to pets when given CBD are usually caused by an overdose of the compound. Some adverse side effects, such as an upset stomach or drowsiness, may occur in rare instances—but these can likely be avoided by supplying the proper dose.</p><p>If you're using a product that includes THC, you increase the risk that your pet may have a negative reaction. Dogs that suffer from too much THC intake develop static ataxia, which is specific to canines and results in loss of muscle coordination, balance, and problems controlling their bowels or bladders. For this reason, proper dosing of CBD and THC products is extremely important.</p>Is CBD Safe for Dogs?
<p>In the emerging CBD space, it helps to look to medical professionals, review sites and other experts to help you decide if CBD is the right fit for your dog.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/cbd-oil-dogs/" target="_blank">American Kennel Club</a> says "while there's no definitive scientific data on using CBD to treat dogs, there's anecdotal evidence from dog owners suggesting it can treat pain, especially neuropathic pain, as well as helping to control seizures."</p><p>There is also some compelling research now being done on CBD's effects on canines. For instance, a <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2018.00165/full" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">study</a> conducted by Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine showed that treatment with CBD oil resulted in decreased pain for dogs with osteoarthritis.</p><p>And in a <a href="https://www.ahvma.org/wp-content/uploads/AHVMA-2016-V42-Hemp-Article.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">survey</a> collected by the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, data from over 600 pet owners found that CBD use in animals also seems to yield positive results. These owners found success using CBD for <a href="https://www.remedyreview.com/health/cbd-dogs-and-separation-anxiety/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anxiety relief</a>, sleep assistance, nervous response support, treating skin conditions, reducing nausea, and preventing inflammation in dogs.</p>How Much CBD Should I Give My Dog?
<p>Since official dosing recommendations from the veterinary community are limited, it's always best to start small. You can increase dosage slowly to gage your pet's response, and once you notice positive improvements in their condition, you can stick to this dose amount.</p><p><strong>A general guideline is 0.2mg of CBD per pound of body weight per day.</strong></p>Final Word on CBD for Dogs
<p>Although CBD is generally considered to be safe for pets, it has not been approved by the FDA for this purpose. For this reason, it's hard to distinguish between fact and fiction in an industry where there is minimal regulation on the manufacturing of these products.</p><p>CBD is legal in most states, but it does present a grey area for some when federal and state regulations are in conflict. Just stick to CBD that's extracted from hemp and you should be safe from legal reprimands in most areas.</p><p>As with anything you give your pet, it's important to recognize when something's off. If you are concerned about how your dog or cat is responding to CBD, contact your veterinarian and discontinue use of the product until professional guidance has been given.</p>From Your Site Articles
