What is CBD?

CBD is a chemical compound from hemp. It was allegedly discovered around 1940 and is currently one of 113 discovered cannabinoids from hemp. It is said to account for over a third of the extract from the plant. The substance occurs naturally in hemp and is used in all of our products such as CBD oil, CBD Eliquids, Gummies, Capsules and topicals that many people are using as an addition to general wellness and lifestyle. Most importantly - CBD is not mind altering!

CBD, is a major component of hemp. It is a 'cousin' of various other plant extracts. Hemp plants are generally categorised (in the US and EU) as having higher levels of CBD than other cannabinoids.

Where is CBD found in the plant? 

The plant extracts are mostly found in the flowers of matured hemp plants, and this is generally what is used to get the plant extracts. There is, however, low levels of CBD in the stalks and stems, but no more than a few percent. In certain jurisdictions CBD products can only be made using extracts from the stalk and stem of hemp.   

CBD has been the focus of scientific research and been known about for decades. But it only became widely known this century. In the early 2000s when GW pharmaceuticals started investing heavily into research and development of (now FDA approved) pharmaceutical medicines containing CBD. Around 2016 CBD hit the US and European markets, and since then the market for CBD products and the hype around CBD has continued to grow. It has become widely known to support and help you own your lifestyle!
