Frequently Asked CBD Questions
About CBD
CBD is short for Cannabidiol, a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in hemp. It’s estimated that there are well over 100 different cannabinoids in hemp that offer unique support to body and mind. CBD is without question the most popular hemp derived cannabinoid in the market today.
No, CBD is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid, meaning it does not have the mind-altering effects associated with marijuana.
Our premium CBD is extracted exclusively from American grown industrial hemp and our products are manufactured at a cGMP-certified facility.
Many of our products are made using premium CBD isolate, an ingredient that has been highly purified to remove THC. Our Balance Blend Full Spectrum Gummies contain THC. We encourage you to view all of our third party lab results that detail CBD and THC content.
CBD isolate is a form of CBD, or cannabidiol, which is a chemical compound present in the cannabis plant. Unlike full-spectrum CBD products, CBD isolate does not contain the psychoactive component of cannabis. Read more about the difference between these types of CBD.
Everyone is different. Our recommendation is to start at a low dose and slowly increase it until you find the right amount for you. To get the most from CBD, take it at the same time everyday, and it could take up to 2-3 weeks before you experience results. Again, as with any natural or dietary supplement, make sure to consult your doctor before using CBD if you have questions. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, are taking prescribed medications or other over the counter medications, or are under the age of 18, please speak to your doctor prior to taking CBD. Children or teenagers under the age of 18 should not take CBD products. Read more about how much CBD to take.

Our products all comply with the Federal Farm Bill, requiring tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in CBD products not to exceed 0.3%. When consuming our Balance Blend Full Spectrum Gummies, you will most likely test positive for THC. If you are consuming our products made with CBD isolate, it is unlikely that you would test positive for THC, but possible. You should always first consult your doctor and your employer if you are subject to drug testing.
