Many people who want to start their adventure with hemp products often wonder which product to choose. The market offers a lot of possibilities both in terms of the consistency of CBD and the form of administration.
CBD hemp oil, CBD drought or hemp tea, and even hemp cosmetics are one of the basic and most famous products.
However, the list does not end there, there are many more products with CBD content that are worth including in your daily life and in your diet.
In today’s article, you will find out which hemp products are worth paying attention to, especially when starting your adventure with CBD.
CBD oil
Let’s start with the most popular product that everyone knows by now – CBD oil. No wonder, CBD oil is very versatile, has many different uses and we can even use it prophylactically.
There are a lot of oils on the market with different concentrations and flavors.
Choosing the right one largely depends on what we expect and at what stage of familiarity with the effects of CBD we are.
So which oil should you choose at the very beginning?
According to many specialists, it is best to choose oils with a lower concentration at the beginning, to familiarize yourself with their effects and to know our well-being after using them and the body’s reaction to cannabinoids.
Therefore, it is best to start with the lowest concentration – 3% oil. However, if it does not cause us any changes or feelings, it is worth considering increasing the concentration, e.g. to 5%.
Studies indicate that the effect of the oil is observed at doses ranging from 1 to 50 mg / kg of body weight / day.
The dosage range is very large, therefore, as mentioned above, it is worth starting with microdoses and weaker concentrations and increasing or decreasing the dose as necessary. To illustrate – 1 drop of 15% CBD oil will correspond to 5 drops of 3% oil.
It is often better to divide your daily dose into 2 or even 4 portions so that the body can fully get used to it.
Where to buy CBD oil?
In our store there are oils with concentrations from 3% to 30%, thanks to which we are able to meet the expectations of everyone, so that everyone can find a CBD oil suitable for their needs.
At Alba Hemp, we care about the highest quality of our products, which is why we choose only certified seeds from which healthy plants are created.
CBD capsules
Although CBD oils are the most popular, not everyone likes its natural, slightly nutty taste and intense aroma, especially that drops of oil are placed under the tongue for 30 seconds. However, many people who want to stick with CBD oil choose flavored oils. There are several options of orange or raspberry flavored oils available in our store.
However, there is an alternative in the form of CBD capsules.
It is a convenient product to use, the only thing you need to do is just swallow the capsule, like an ordinary dietary supplement. This is one of the easiest and definitely convenient ways to incorporate cannabinoids into your diet.
However, in the case of capsules, as in the case of CBD oil, we do not have the option of increasing or decreasing the dose freely, e.g. by one drop.
Capsules, as well as all hemp products, should be purchased only from reliable sources.
CBD crystal
CBD crystal is a relatively unknown product. Its name alone does not encourage you to get to know it and use it, but we must assure you that it is not worth being afraid of.
Crystal is the crystalline form of cannabidiol and it is the purest form, because it contains as much as 99% of CBD itself, without additional phytocannabinoids.
Crystal is actually a CBD isolate. What this means is that during the extraction process all other compounds are removed so as to obtain pure CBD.
One of the most popular forms of taking CBD crystal is steam inhalation, i.e. vaporization, which we have already mentioned in our article “What is CBD vaporization?”. However, the use of a crystal for vaporization requires a special device that is adapted to vaporization of concentrates, and not just the dried material. Under the influence of heat, the crystal changes its consistency into a liquid form, from which steam is formed.
The crystal can also be added to scented fireplaces and used in the form of aromatherapy.
Hemp tea
Hemp tea is really nothing more than crushed hemp flowers and leaves. In such a tea, however, we will not find the cannabinoid CBD, but only its acidic form CBDa.
The acidic form is activated to CBD only after the decarboxylation process, i.e. the action of high temperature on dried hemp.
The acidic form of CBDa is a compound that may turn out to be even better for beginners, because its effect is gentler and milder than, for example, CBD oil.
It is recommended to drink one cup of hemp tea a day to provide the body with the right dose of cannabinoids.
Hemp tea should not be brewed for too long. The maximum time is around 5 minutes, and this is because it is during this time that the concentration of CBDa should be at its highest. If we keep the drought in hot water for too long, we can get the opposite effect to the intended one and the entire CBD essence will start to drop drastically.
