FAQs
WHAT IS CBD?
CBD (AKA Cannabidiol) is one of about 100 different phytochemicals found in the cannabis plant (known as phytocannabinoids). CBD alone is non-psychoactive in nature – meaning it WILL NOT GET YOU HIGH, unlike THC (which some of our products do contain, please read label carefully). CBD is similar to compounds our bodies already made which are called endocannabinoids. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring in nature in fruit and veg (ie broccoli, kale, etc).
CBD SOURCE?
All of our products are made from NON-GMO, PESTICIDE FREE, Industrial Hemp. It is grown outdoors under natural sunlight with organic practices, but has not been certified.
HOW DOES CBD WORK?
CBD works through interacting with our bodies endocannabinoid system. This endocannabinoid system is responsible for maintaining equilibrium within the body (homeostasis). This system is involved in regulating appetite, pain, memory, and mood. There are cannabinoid receptors all over our bodies (in the brain, stomach, nervous system, organs). By using CBD we can help this system with pain, inflammation, stress, and sleep.
CBD BENEFITS?
Many skin issues are inflammation related, and studies have shown that CBD has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties which help skin, joints, and muscles. FOREVEREST CBD oil is naturally filled with vitamins (A, D, E) and contains high levels of essential fatty acids (Omega 3 & 6) which work to enhance overall skin health and youthfulness.
WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT STRENGTHS OF CBD?
Our oral CBD offerings come in a variety of strengths because we think it is important to experiment and find the right dosage. The typical oral dosage for chronic pain for instance is 30 – 60 mg, so start with a small dose and increase until desired relief has been achieved. It is more informative and economical to start low and gradually increase as well. CBD effects everybody differently based on their level of inflammation, their body’s natural cannabinoid level, as well as their absorption rate.
FULL SPECTRUM CBD OIL – WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? WHAT IS IT?:
“Full Spectrum” or “Whole Plant” hemp extracts health benefits go beyond CBD. The multitude of cannabinoids and other natural compounds (like terpenes) found in full-spectrum hemp oil work in unison to magnify the therapeutic properties (often referred to as the “entourage effect”). This potent and complex mix of essential nutrients, protein, and healthy fats work together to encourage homeostasis in our bodies.
Our full-spectrum extract is naturally rich in Cannabidiol (CBD), as well as Cannabigero (CBG), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabichromene (CBC), and a myriad of supporting terpenes, flavanoids, and essential amino acids.
WHAT ARE TERPENES??
Terpenes are organic compounds, found in all flora, that responsible for aroma and taste! Terpenes are what make lemons smell and taste like lemons. We have used them (terpenes not lemons) medicinally for centuries, and in recent years researchers believe terpenes to be as therapeutic as CBD. Full-spectrum CBD extract provides the entourage effect, and research shows that the combination of the two has very therapeutic results.
CAN YOU VAPE CBD OIL?
NO! We do not recommend vaping our tinctures, as they are not made to be inhaled.
