CBD (cannabidiol) is one of many active compounds found in the cannabis plant. CBD is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from various parts of the plant and used to impart a feeling of relaxation and improve overall health. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive.

The human body contains a specialised system called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is an important signalling pathway that regulates stress, inflammation, anxiety, and depression. CBD binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS) which directly links to the central nervous system (CNS). The activation of these receptors triggers physiological processes across multiple organ systems, most notably the release of neurotransmitters from the central nervous system.

Which CBD strength you choose and the dose depends on your goals with CBD, the effect you are looking for or what you are treating. The strength and dosage of CBD that is right for you is affected by several factors, including your height, weight, personal physicality and the nature of your ailments, in addition to other individual factors. As a general guideline, people with a higher body weight may need a slightly higher dose of CBD to achieve the same effects as people with a lower body weight.

In general, we recommend for people starting their CBD journey to try a lower strength CBD, like our 10% or 15% CBD oil, and to start with a low dose and gradually increase until you feel the desired result. It's a good place to start and see how the endocannabinoid system (ECS) will react, and then increase your CBD strength if needed.

The difference between our CBD oils is the strength and potency. The higher the strength, the stronger and more concentrated it is, which means a higher entourage effect.

The entourage effect involves the interaction of all compounds from a cannabis plant that together provide a sense of relaxation and calm, while maximizing the potential health benefits for a complete experience.
