Short for cannabidiol, CBD is a naturally occurring phytocannabinoid found in hemp. CBD is a non-intoxicating component of hemp that possesses a wide range of beneficial properties.

What's the difference between Hemp Seed Oil and CBD Oil?

Hemp Seed Oil, as its name indicates, is extracted from pressing hemp seeds. Hemp oil is generally considered a food item and can be found in food markets, together with other types of oil. It is known for its countless health benefits, making it part of the superfood group. Hemp Seed Oil is high in antioxidants, omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, but does NOT contain any CBD or other cannabinoids.
