How to take care When Buying CBD Oil

Since the recent explosion of the CBD market, millions of people are being educated on, and enjoying the benefits of, CBD oil and other hemp-derived products. With a massive increase in CBD consumption year over year, many companies are taking notice of this brave new world and attempting to cash in on the excitement.

There are thousands of brands offering CBD products. Many of these companies offer products made from high standards that adhere to FDA policies. While others attempt to fly under the radar, rushing poor quality products to market. These substandard products do not provide the true mental and physical health benefits CBD can offer. Also, they may pose a serious risk to consumers who are unaware of how to properly use CBD.

For those new to the world of CBD, below are a few helpful tips on what to avoid when buying CBD oil.

Cheap CBD oil

Always be aware of the source of your CBD oil. Be aware that with CBD, you get what you pay for. Cheap CBD oil typically contains diluted, synthetic ingredients that in many cases contains a CBD content level that is far lower than what is printed on the label. Pay close attention to the packaging of the products you are choosing and spend time researching them before making your purchase. If you are buying products at a local dispensary never hesitate to ask the staff. Most of them will be happy to offer recommendations and help point you in the right direction.

Questionable ingredients

Unfortunately, some companies are in such a hurry to get CBD products to market, they care little about the ingredients that go into their product. They care even less about where their hemp grows or the process involved in its production. Always pay attention to the country of origin for your CBD oil, and try to stay with oil sourced from American-grown hemp. Better yet, try to stick with CBD products that grow in your local area by organic farmers. Untrustworthy brands may be using hemp containing mold or fungus from poor growing conditions and lack of care. These may even contain heavy metals or toxic substances such as arsenic, cadmium or lead from pesticides.

Not only will poorly made CBD oil have little effect on assisting you with whatever health issue you may be using it for, it may quite literally poison you.

Avoiding research and education

By now you probably realize not all CBD oils are created equal. Do as much research as possible before you purchase a specific product you may not be familiar with.

If you are new to CBD, there are endless online resources to read through to educate yourself. You should learn what CBD oil is, the production process, what it does to the human body, and the multitude of ways you can use it. Rooted Hemp can help educate you on quality CBD ingredients and what products to try. Always discuss using CBD oil and other related products with your doctor, especially if you are taking prescription medication.

Stick to these basic tips to avoid poorly made CBD oil, and you will be enjoying new levels of health and wellness in your daily life you never thought possible.
