8 things to look for when buying CBD hemp oil
By Joy Johnston
Here's a handy list for what to look for when purchasing CBD hemp oil. If you want more detailed information for each point below, please check out my e-book, CBD for Caregivers, which is just 99 cents at major digital book retailers.
Product description: The product label should state that it contains CBD, as CBD, hemp extract, and hemp oil are sometimes used interchangeably by retailers but don't have the same definitions.
Full-spectrum vs. isolate: Consumers will need to make a personal choice as to whether they want full-spectrum product or a CBD isolate product. The label should clearly provide this information, and whether the product contains any THC.
Potency: Knowing the strength of a product is key, so look for the CBD amount per serving, versus what is in the entire bottle.
Base oil: You'll want to know the base oil used in a CBD hemp oil product in case you have to avoid specific allergens, such as tree nuts.
Flavorings: Not everyone is a fan of the taste of unflavored hemp CBD oil, so you may need to experiment to find a flavor that you find pleasing, taking into consideration any allergies you may have.
Beware of Amazon: The giant online retailer forbids the sell of CBD products on its site, so be skeptical of any listings for hemp CBD oil you see for sell on Amazon.
Reviews: Check out CBD user forums like Reddit to get feedback on a particular CBD hemp oil product.
