How to Shop CBD: The Buyers Guide

On every health store shelf and google display ad, there’s CBD to shop.
But if you don’t understand how CBD works, it can be a daunting sight or a frustrating case of buyer’s regret.
With that said, let’s talk about how to shop CBD and signs to look out for to best suit your needs.

Always check your CBD packaging for ‘full spectrum’

Full spectrum CBD uses almost all of the 400 compounds found in the cannabis plant, whereas CBD Isolates only use the ‘CBD’ compound. In the long run, it means you’re losing out on the goodness of flavonoids, terpenes, and beneficial compounds in the plant. Because we make use of full spectrum CBD, our products are 30 times more effective than compared to CBD Isolates. For better impact and value for money, ensure that your CBD packaging says ‘full spectrum’ on it somewhere.

Make sure the CBD absorbs for maximum impact

Bioavailability is important when it comes to buying supplements and CBD. It’s the rate at which the body can absorb the product and start to get to work. With low bioavailability, you risk losing the impact of the CBD, vitamins, or nutrients you’re taking. With high bioavailability, the contents can get to work in your body faster, therefore creating a longer lasting benefit.

Ask for lab tests of the CBD product

One important thing to note when shopping CBD online is how to identify a reliable and consistent product. With CBD being a big trend, many businesses are popping up. Extraction methods vary, but some can leave behind harmful residue in the product. When shopping CBD, always ask for lab tests to verify that your product is safe and contains the right amount of CBD.
