Maybe you are considering alternative medicine for pain relief, anxiety, or something else, and CBD crossed your mind. The ease of access to CBD products makes them very appealing, but you want to read the label carefully before you reach for the bottle of CBD pills or oil. Here is our guide on understanding the labeling on Ananda Hemp CBD.
Produce Classification
Depending on the classification of the product, the labeling guidelines will differ. If you buy CBD food items such as baked goods, then they will need to follow the FDA food labeling guidelines. If you purchase CBD supplements, then the guidelines to be followed are FDA labeling regulations for dietary supplements.
Understanding CBD and Hemp
Let’s first understand the jargon associated with hemp and CBD.
What Are CBD And THC?
Both are cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. While TCH is the “high” giving agent, CBD does not have the “high” factor.
What Is The Difference Between Hemp And Marijuana?
They are both cannabis plants, but hemp contains no more than 0.3% THC. Marijuana has a higher content of THC.
CBD is derived from both variants of cannabis plants. So when reading the label on Ananda Hemp CBD products, check the source of the CBD.
Full-Spectrum, Broad-Spectrum, or Isolate
Full-spectrum products have all the natural compounds of the cannabis plant with traces of THC but limited to 0.3%. Broad-spectrum products contain all-natural compounds and no THC. Isolates contain pure CBD and no other compounds of the cannabis plant.
Don’t Be Fooled By Technicalities
When buying a CBD product, make sure it lists CBD, hemp extract, or cannabidiol on the label. Just hemp seeds, or hemp seed oil, or even Cannabis sativa seed oil, are not the same thing.
List of Other Ingredients
Check what the other ingredients in the product are. Make sure you are not allergic to any of them.
Certificate of Analysis
A genuine CBD product maker will have a COA. It confirms that a third party has tested the product. This assures you that there is full disclosure of what the product contains before you buy
Check for Concentrations
You must check the concentration of CBD and THC on the product before you purchase it. High concentration can have adverse effects, and low concentrations can have no effect at all.
Check the Serving
The large lettering on the package that mentions the serving usually talks about the entire package. If you want to know the single serving size, then you will have to read the fine print. There the serving size of CBD is listed for mg/ml.
If you buy a hemp extract product, then it can be either a direct substitute to CBD or may contain a certain amount of CBD. So read the fine print to know the CBD content rather than the hemp content.
CBD is the new rage in miracle healing products. It is being used for pain relief, anxiety, and many other medical conditions. Reading the label carefully will help you understand what you are getting. After all, the product should do good, not harm.
