The top 4 things you need to look into when you buy CBD oil for the first time

Over the years, the use of CBD oil in UK has become more popular among those looking for alternative medicine to meet their needs. It has become a growing industry, especially in the year 2019, with many companies manufacturing a whole line of CBD products for public consumption.

Many look to CBD oil to help them with issues like relief from pain, or to reduce their anxiety and depression. Some who suffer from cancer even use CBD oil to alleviate their symptoms related to cancer. There are many other benefits from CBD oil, but you must remember that not all CBD oils are made the same.

You could also buy CBD oil drops for relief from different problems. It’s an efficient way of bringing CBD into the body. It is important that before you buy CBD oil online, you are sure that the product you are buying is of very high quality. Here are some of the things that you need to look into.

  1. Check the amount of THC in the product  -You will need to remember that despite the growing popularity of the use of CBD oil, it is still, in fact, illegal in many states. Therefore, there has to be a limit to the amount of THC in the product in order for it to be considered legal. The specific amount allowed may depend on the state you are in. The typical number range between 0.3% to 0.5% or even less.
  2. Verify what ingredients are included – While THC is an important ingredient in CBD oil, you should also look at what the other ingredients are in the product. You can list down the ingredients and do your own research. Find out if there are any negative side effects that may occur from the ingredients listed.
  3. Research on the origin and extraction method used – It is also important to know where the hemp comes from. That is because the hemp can absorb from the soil, air and water around it. If pesticides are used then there might be some negative side effects to the product. You can check whether the hemp was grown organically. Aside from that, you may also ask the seller how the CBD is extracted from the hemp. Extraction is a complicated process and some use chemicals that may leave a residue on the CBD oil. If you have done your research, you’ll know that the best method for CBD oil extraction is through CO2 extraction. Ask the manufacturer if this is the method they use so you can be sure that the product is not only of the highest quality but also free from harsh chemicals.
  4. Check to see that it was tested by a third-party lab – One of the things that you should definitely look for is whether the CBD oil has been tested by another lab. This is to that you can confirm the product is actually safe to use. While there are many honest manufacturers out there, there may be some new companies that will try to dupe the consumers. With a Certificate of Analysis from a third party from a reputable laboratory, you can be sure that it is safe to use.
