FOCL is a CBD brand that’s all about plant-based wellness. They go beyond just utilizing cannabinoids in their products; they use natural ingredients like adaptogens, as well, to enhance the overall experience. This brand boasts their various testimonials from accredited sources — and rightly so! It appears that I definitely wasn’t the only one who enjoyed their products.

FOCL has a wide selection of products including topicals, gummies, tinctures, and capsules. Each of these products have a specific purpose — Focus, Relaxation, Relief, Sleep, and Immunity — to help you discover what product is best for you. Overall, I was quite pleased with these products: they came in myriad strengths and flavors, with their effects hitting me quickly and with force. All of the products worked just as I had hoped.

HIGHLIGHTS

From packaging to potency, FOCL has got it right. These products are tasty, well-made, work quickly, and produce effects that reflect the products’ main purpose. Even though they were slightly pricey, I was so happy with the results of this product line that I couldn’t even complain. The brand is transparent, offering COAs and detailed information about extraction. Truly, FOCL leaves you without any reason to complain.

WHAT’S GOOD

• Various strength option
• Nice product flavors
• Strong CBD potency
• Transparent about all product info
• Organically-grown hemp
• Lab tested for contaminants

WHAT’S BAD

• Slightly expensive
• No full-spectrum options
• The effects may be too subtle for experienced users

Editor’s Pick

While many of FOCL’s products appealed to me, I was very enticed by their Focus bundle. This bundle contains their 1,000 mg CBD drops and their Focus capsules. Together, I couldn’t believe how prepped and ready for work I was. Instead of losing focus halfway through my day, I was able to power through all of my projects without getting too distracted by other things. On their own, these products work well; but, together, they’re wonderful for getting your brain back on track.

FOCL CBD Fruit Chews

FOCL’s CBD Fruit Chews are gummies infused with 10 mg of broad-spectrum CBD, with three flavors in each bottle: orange cream, strawberry, and wildberry. These gummies had a nice texture and a wonderful flavor that didn’t remind me at all of hemp. 

They took about 90 minutes to fully kick in, but I did notice a subtle feeling of relaxation and focus. I wasn’t as stressed about my day, and I was able to get my work done without excess anxiety. While the effects of these gummies were a bit subtle for me, I assume they’d be perfect for a beginner consumer.

Highlights

FOCL’s CBD fruit chews are packaged well, taste great, and provide a nice, subtle dose of CBD. While I do wish these gummies were full-spectrum, I still felt support from their broad-spectrum formula. I felt much better after eating just one, though two may be ideal for more experienced consumers because of the lower strength.

Effects Felt During Testing

• Effects: Reduced anxiety, lowered stress, better focus
• Good For: Promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, helping with focus
• Not Good For: Experienced consumers

FOCL Premium CBD Drops (Natural)

Even without any added flavor, FOCL’s Natural Premium CBD Drops still was an incredibly pleasant experience. Unlike other CBD tinctures I’ve tried, these CBD drops didn’t taste much like, well, anything. Instead, it was just an unflavored oil in my mouth for 30 seconds and then that’s it! I couldn’t complain about the lack of plant-like flavor (though I don’t know how they did it). 

At 2,000 mg, I was happy with the potency; this oil brought strong feelings of rest and relaxation. After a long day, this oil was ideal for helping both my brain and muscles relax.

Highlights

FOCL’s Natural Premium CBD Drops come with a beautiful mint green label that provides all the information you need to know about your tincture. The oil itself doesn’t have any taste — not even hemp. This makes it incredibly easy to consume, and even easier to add into foods and beverages. The effects kicked in about 15 minutes later as my body started to relax and my thoughts became much more rational.

Effects Felt During Testing

• Effects: Relaxed, stress free, reduced pain
• Good For: Experienced consumers, promoting relaxation, reducing stress
• Not Good For: Beginners

FOCL Premium CBD Drops (Mint)

If you don’t like to consume unflavored CBD oils, don’t worry. FOCL has another option for you. Their Mint Premium CBD Drop comes in a refreshing mint flavor that feels great in the mouth. It is reminiscent of your favorite spearmint gum, leaving a crisp flavor on the tongue once you’ve swallowed. The flavor wasn’t too overpowering, either, like some mint CBD tinctures can be. 

At 1,000 mg, this is their lowest potency for this type of CBD, making it ideal for those who are still getting to know CBD. However, even as an experienced consumer, I did still find some relaxing properties from this minty fresh oil.

Highlights

This mint CBD oil comes in the same mint-green packaging as their unflavored oil. The flavor of this tincture is very pleasant and refreshing, but not being too minty that you’re left overwhelmed. I noticed the effects of this blend kicked in as quickly as the other — around 15 minutes later — but it was much more subdued. The effects were gentle, leaving me feeling relaxed and comfortable. However, this 1,000 mg option is likely best for beginners.

Effects Felt During Testing

• Effects: Calm, relaxed, fewer worries
• Good For: Beginners, reducing stress, promoting calm
• Not Good For: Experienced consumers, morning consumption

FOCL CBD Relief Cream

Like we said, FOCL is all about plant-powered wellness — and their Relief Cream is no exception. This soothing topical is packed full of CBD and other natural botanicals to provide a supportive, cooling experience that your sore muscles and joints will love. 

The cooling Relief Cream contains 500 mg of broad-spectrum CBD, and the formula blends wonderfully on the skin. You don’t have to worry about sticky, oily residue, either; once you massage it into your skin, you won’t even realize it’s there (until the pain subsides, that is). I used this cream post-workout and found it most effective then for immediate relief of sore muscles.

Highlights

If you have sore muscles, FOCL’s Relief Cream is a great plant-based option. This topical provides deep-seated relief wherever you apply it. Plus, the formula is easy to use and doesn’t feel oily upon application. I noticed relief almost instantly on my sore muscles, but the topical worked best after my intense workouts.

Effects Felt During Testing

• Effects: Reduced pain, reduced muscle tension
• Good For: Sore muscles and joints, quick relief
• Not Good For: Anxiety, everyday pain

FOCL CBD Sleep Drops

With a combination of CBD and CBN, the FOCL Sleep Drops are sure to get you feeling tired. The entire bottle contains about 1,000 mg of broad-spectrum CBD and 180 mg of CBN, making it ideal for both newbies and experienced consumers. (Though, more experienced consumers may consider taking a double dose.) 

This oil is naturally sweetened, tasting vaguely like lavender and peppermint — after all, they include these natural ingredients, too. I took a full dose around 9 pm and found that by 10, I was more than ready to go lay down. When I woke up in the morning, I felt well-rested and not drowsy in the slightest.

Highlights

These Sleep Drops are ideal for getting your mind and body prepped for bed. This CBD oil is quite potent, but still tastes pleasant. The dark blue label reminds you that it’s for bedtime only. I discovered the effects of the formula kicking in fully after about an hour, finding that my mind felt more relaxed and my muscles were a bit heavier. In bed, I felt more comfortable than ever.

Effects Felt During Testing

• Effects: Sleepy, relaxed, comfortable
• Good For: Sleep support, reducing muscle pain, lowering anxiety
• Not Good For: Morning consumption

FOCL Day Capsules

FOCL’s Day Capsules are packed full of some of the healthiest, most natural ingredients on the market. These CBD capsules contain additions like Lion’s Mane, organic Rhodiola Rosea, L-theanine, and so much more. All of these ingredients are designed to help with brain and cognitive support. 

With consistent consumption, you may find yourself feeling more motivated, energized, focused, and calmer overall. When taken at the start of the day, I found these capsules were good for keeping me on task and motivated.

Highlights

Packaged with a distinct yellow label, FOCL’s capsules make it obvious that they are designed for morning consumption. These capsules didn’t have any residual flavors with them, and they went down as effortlessly as any other capsule. I started noticing effects about 45 minutes after consumption: my mind felt less cluttered. Then, I realized I had gone practically most of my work day without much distraction. I couldn’t help but thank the FOCL Day Capsules.

Effects Felt During Testing

• Effects: Focused, motivated, balanced
• Good For: Daytime consumption, brain health, improving focus
• Not Good For: Night time consumption

The Bottom Line

Although research is ongoing, CBD might help ease anxiety and reduce stress. If you’re considering adding CBD to your daily routine, choose a respected brand like FOCL to ensure you’re buying a quality product.

Exhale Wellness Product Categories

With its focus on Delta 8 THC, Delta 9, Delta 10, CBD, THCA, THCV, and HHC, Exhale Wellness offers a comprehensive range of products to cater to different preferences and needs.

Delta 8 THC

Delta 8 THC is a popular category offered by Exhale Wellness, and it encompasses a range of products designed to provide users with the benefits of delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, a cannabinoid known for its mild psychoactive effects.

Exhale Wellness offers a variety of Delta 8 THC products within this category. One of their offerings is Delta 8 THC gummies, infused with the compound for a convenient and delicious way to experience its effects. These gummies are available in different flavors and doses, allowing users to choose according to their preferences and desired potency.

Another product in this category is Delta 8 THC vape cartridges. These cartridges contain a concentrated form of Delta 8 THC oil that can be used with compatible vape pens or devices. Vaping Delta 8 THC has rapid quick effects, making it popular among those seeking immediate relief or relaxation.

Exhale Wellness also offers Delta 8 THC wax, a concentrated form of Delta 8 THC that can be dabbed or vaporized. It provides a powerful and efficient method of consumption for experienced users who desire more substantial effects.

Additionally, Exhale Wellness provides Delta 8 THC cigarettes, offering a smokeable option for those who prefer a more traditional method of consumption. These cigarettes are infused with Delta 8 THC-rich hemp flower, providing an alternative to conventional tobacco cigarettes.

The range of Delta 8 THC products offered by Exhale Wellness allows users to explore different forms of consumption and find the one that suits their preferences and needs.

Delta 9 THC

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 9 THC) is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It is the cannabinoid responsible for the intoxicating effects commonly associated with marijuana use. Delta 9 THC interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body, specifically binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain and central nervous system, resulting in various physiological and psychological effects.

It’s important to note that Delta 9 THC is different from Delta 8 THC, another cannabinoid that has gained popularity in recent years. While both compounds share similarities in chemical structure and psychoactive properties, Delta 8 THC is generally considered less potent and produces milder effects than Delta 9 THC.

Delta 9 THC is primarily found in marijuana plants, bred to contain higher levels of this specific cannabinoid. In this category, Exhale Wellness offers Live Resin Gummies, Sleep Gummies, CBD+THC oil, and more.

Delta 10 THC

Delta-10-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta 10 THC) is a lesser-known cannabinoid that shares similarities with Delta 9 THC. Like Delta 9 THC, Delta 10 THC is a psychoactive compound found in cannabis, albeit in much smaller quantities. It is a naturally occurring cannabinoid that interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, specifically targeting cannabinoid receptors.

Delta 10 THC has gained attention recently for its potential therapeutic and recreational effects. It is believed to offer unique properties, distinct from Delta 9 THC and other cannabinoids. However, it is essential to note that research on Delta 10 THC is still in its early stages, and its effects are not yet fully understood.

Exhale Wellness only has Delta 10 gummy cubes with 750 to 1500 mg Delta 10 THC per jar in this category. The product improves your senses and uplifts your mood and mind. Moreover, it tastes great, which most users love about it.

CBD

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating compound found in the cannabis plant that has gained significant attention for its potential therapeutic properties. It is one of over 100 cannabinoids present in cannabis, and unlike its counterpart THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not produce a “high” sensation.

Exhale Wellness offers various CBD products to cater to diverse consumer needs. Their extensive product lineup includes CBD oils, tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, and more. Whether individuals prefer the convenience of CBD-infused gummies, the ease of use of tinctures, or the targeted application of topicals, Exhale Wellness has a comprehensive selection.

Each product is crafted with a focus on quality and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure purity and potency. With Exhale Wellness, customers can explore a long list of CBD options and find the products that best suit their wellness goals and preferences.

THCA

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in raw and unprocessed cannabis plants. It is the acidic form of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. When heated or exposed to high temperatures, THCA undergoes decarboxylation, converting into THC and activating its intoxicating properties.

Unlike THC, THCA does not produce the typical euphoric effects commonly associated with cannabis use. However, it is believed to possess potential therapeutic benefits. THCA is known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties, making it an area of interest in medical research.

Exhale Wellness produces THCA vapes, flowers, Pre-rolls, and disposables. Their THCA products provide a classic feeling of exhilarating stimulation and enhanced euphoria. These products will give you powerful mind, body, and spirit-lifting effects.

THCV

THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) is a lesser-known cannabinoid found in cannabis. It is structurally similar to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the well-known psychoactive compound in cannabis, but has unique properties and effects. THCV is found in smaller amounts in most cannabis strains than other cannabinoids.

Currently, Exhale Wellness offers only THCV gummies. These gummies have gained attention for their potential therapeutic properties and ability to interact with the endocannabinoid system in the body. They are formulated with organic hemp-derived Delta 9 THCv distillate.

Each jar has 300 to 750 mg of THCV, allowing users to select the dosage per their requirements. If you are looking for soothing full-body relaxation, you must give Exhale Wellness THCV gummies a try.

HHC

HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) is a relatively new and lesser-known cannabinoid that has emerged in the cannabis market. It is structurally similar to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) but has unique properties and effects. HHC is derived from hemp and is believed to have psychoactive properties, although its potency and impacts may differ from THC.

Exhale Wellness has many HHC products, such as gummies, vape cartridges, HHC flowers, Pre-rolls, oil, and cigarettes. These HHC products are thought to interact with the endocannabinoid system in the body, similar to other cannabinoids. These formulas send uplifting sensations through your entire body, and you get the best feeling ever.

While I can tell you about the general collective feeling that most people have about certain CBD providers, this information should never substitute that of professional advice.

CBD, extracted from the cannabis plant, is used for a variety of health and wellness reasons, including to ease symptoms of anxiety, chronic pain, and other conditions, or to induce a calming effect.

Right now, CBD is one of the fastest-growing industries, with new products on the market every week. Deciphering a CBD label and determining if a product is high quality can be a bit confusing at first. But choosing a reputable brand will give you the most benefits for your buck. 

Here, we explore CBDistillery, the flagship brand of Balanced Health Botanicals. CBDistillery has served more than 1 million customers since it was founded in 2016 by a group of Colorado natives. And through its #CBDMOVEMENT efforts on social media and its podcast, the brand aims to stomp out any remaining stigma about cannabis and “prove that CBD isn’t just a buzzword.” 

We’ll delve into the pros and cons of the brand and take a look at some of CBDistillery’s top products. 

CBD Terms to Know

• Terpenes are plant compounds with potentially therapeutic benefits.
• Flavonoids are plant compounds that have antioxidant benefits.
• Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the cannabinoid associated with the “high” from marijuana use. Compared with THC, CBD is non-euphoric and non-impairing, meaning it won’t produce a “high.”
• Full-spectrum CBD contains all of the naturally available compounds of the cannabis plant. In hemp-derived full-spectrum CBD, the THC will be no more than 0.3 percent.
• Broad-spectrum CBD has all of the plant’s naturally occurring compounds but no THC (or only trace amounts).
• CBD isolate is the purest form, isolated from all other plant compounds. 

Company Reputation

Part of CBDistillery’s growing reputation can likely be attributed to its mission for transparency and skipping gimmicks. For example, CBDistillery recently underwent a rebranding of its website and packaging to focus on educating consumers about CBD and to provide clear labeling.

On its website, CBDistillery features thousands of favorable customer reviews of individual products. And elsewhere online, the brand goes head-to-head with other top CBD retailers in reviews and analyses.

Quality and Transparency

1. Certifications and Memberships

CBDistillery is certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority (USHA), a seal of approval that means the brand has undergone the USHA’s independent third-party audit and met strict standards regarding ingredients, labeling, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance. 

In 2019, CBDistillery’s parent company achieved self-affirmed generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status through an independent review by toxicologists. The brand also has membership in the National Hemp Association and the U.S Hemp Roundtable, the hemp industry’s major grassroots organization.

2. Marketing Practices

Notably, CBDistillery has not received any FDA warning lettersTrusted Source. Other brands have received such letters for violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with illegal marketing practices.

However, CBDistillery does label their products as supplements, which some other companies have received warning letters over.

3. Sourcing and Manufacturing

Another pro about CBDistillery is its degree of transparency in product sourcing and manufacturing. The brand says its products are created with non-GMO industrial hemp grown with natural farming practices on open-air farms in Colorado, Kentucky, and Oregon.

Its manufacturing facility is approved by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The facility uses current good manufacturing practices (CGMP)Trusted Source and is ISO-9001certified for quality.

For its full-spectrum and broad-spectrum products, CBDistillery uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) supercritical extraction process, lauded for its safety for both the environment and end user and for producing higher quality CBD. For its isolate products, the brand uses ethanol extraction.

Certificate of Analysis 

Each CBDistillery product also features a certificate of analysis (COA) from ACS Laboratory, a third-party ISO 17025-accredited lab.

COAs show each item’s cannabinoid potency, terpenes content, and whether it has passed tests for water acidity, heavy metals, pesticides, mycotoxins (toxic compounds produced by molds), residual solvents, and microbiology petrifilm (presence of bacteria). The COA also includes potency information and the cannabinoid profile. 

You can access a COA by scanning the QR code on a CBDistillery product’s label. If you’re browsing the brand’s website, you can find the COA overview in the product’s image slideshow and access the QR code for more.

Range of Products and Pricing

CBDistillery offers a range of CBD products, including oils, softgels, gummies, and topicals. Product offerings also include full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate formulas, at a range of potencies. Edible items are clearly marked for CBD content per serving. 

Many other CBD products leave you to do the math to figure out the amount of CBD per serving, but CBDistillery products are clearly marked with this information. Oils, for example, range from 250 to 5,000 milligrams (mg) per 1-ounce (oz.) bottle.

The labels also suggest a serving size, how much CBD is in that serving, and how many of those servings are in the bottle. 

User reviews for various products frequently mention CBDistillery’s affordability, and fair pricing is a source of pride for the brand.

CBDistillery also sells powders, e-liquids, and pet products.

Customer Service

Although parent company Balanced Health Botanicals, has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, it does have some negative customer reviews and complaints, mostly regarding shipping snafus. However, several issues appear to have a resolution attached to the complaint. 

Other users on the CBDistillery website rave about the brand’s customer service.

Softgels are an easy way to take CBD for those who want the convenience of a premeasured dose without the flavor of a gummy.

How to Choose

Deciding on the CBDistillery product that’s right for you will depend on your specific needs, likes and dislikes, and even lifestyle. CBDistillery’s capsules and oils use MCT oil, and onset typically takes 1 to 2 hours. If tincture taste tends to bother you, flavored gummies might be a better fit. Topicals are great for a localized application of CBD, like on aching joints.

How to Use

As with any product you’re trying for the first time, start with the smallest serving possible to see how you react. From there, you can up your dose if desired. 

For oils, CBDistillery recommends holding a tincture under your tongue for 15 to 20 seconds before swallowing. 

Softgels can be taken as you would any other supplement. Gummies, too. But if you’re opting for the nighttime gummies, be mindful that they have melatonin, a natural sleep aid. They’re best taken about 30 to 60 minutes before bed. 

Topicals can be applied as needed, but it’s always a good idea to patch test a small area first to make sure you don’t have a reaction to any ingredients.

Safety and Side Effects 

CBD is generally reported as safe, although some common side effects may occur:

• fatigue
• diarrhea
• changes in appetite
• changes in weight

Before trying CBD, talk to your doctor or a knowledgeable cannabis clinician. CBD may interact with certain prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and dietary supplements.

A recent study shows that CBD may also cause liver toxicity or injury. However, this study was conducted on mice, and researchers say you’d have to be taking extremely high doses for this to be a concern.

An additional consideration is to use caution when consuming CBD along with high fat meals. Fats can increase CBD blood concentrations, upping the risks for side effects, according to a recent study.

Takeaway

CBDistillery checks all the boxes as a reputable CBD brand that uses hemp industry best practices. Consumers can be confident in knowing everything from the parent company’s sourcing and manufacturing processes to its industry certifications.

But the transparency doesn’t stop there. Product labels include access to detailed COAs. Plus, labeling clearly states what customers are getting in terms of total CBD content and serving size, eliminating a lot of math or guesswork.

CBDistillery’s recent rebranding solidifies its commitment to customer transparency and to its goal of educating people about CBD and reducing any stigma about cannabis. The brand also offers a range of product types and potency to meet various customer needs, and at reasonable pricing to make CBD accessible. 

Is CBD Legal? Hemp-derived CBD products (with less than 0.3 percent THC) are legal on the federal level, but are still illegal under some state laws. Marijuana-derived CBD products are illegal on the federal level, but are legal under some state laws. Check your state’s laws and those of anywhere you travel. Keep in mind that nonprescription CBD products are not FDA-approved, and may be inaccurately labeled.

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been drawing a lot of attention within both the natural health and medical world. CBD is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant that doesn’t produce psychoactivity (a “high”) when ingested. Though much research still needs to be done, many have found CBD oil to help with a number of medical conditions.

With that, some have raised the question, can CBD oil help with weight loss and/or decrease the chance of medical conditions associated with body weight, such as diabetes?

Throughout this article, we’re going to look into whether or not CBD can help with you lose weight. At the end, we invite you to ask further questions.

Losing Weight with CBD Oil

In order to understand how CBD oil and weight loss works, we must first understand how CBD works within the body. Within our bodies is something known as the endocannabinoid system.¹ This is built up of numerous compounds, including two cannabinoid (CB) receptors:²

CB1 Receptor – Most abundant within the brain (particularly, the hypothalamus, hippocampus, and amygdala), central nervous system (CNS), connective tissue, intestines, and the testis/ovaries. It’s responsible for regulating our moods and blood pressure.

CB2 Receptor – Most abundant in our immune cells (particularly, B and T cells, macrophages, microglia, monocytes), spleen, tonsils, and thymus. It functions in numerous human diseases, including cancer, heart and kidney complications, and pain.

Within people who suffer from obesity, there’s a larger quantity of CB1 receptors. This is due to the fatty tissue developing more of the receptor.³ So, the more weight gain, the more CB 1 receptors spread.

This correspondence between CB receptors and weight diseases, such as obesity, has led some researchers to believe CBD oil might have the ability to help regulate weight. Though CBD doesn’t directly affect our endocannabinoid system (and our CB receptors), it does have a natural indirect effect on these cannabinoids.

This indirect effect may just be able to help people lose weight or aid them with other metabolic functions.

So, How Can CBD Affect Weight?

Current research is too limited to make any guarantees concerning CBD oil and weight loss. Still, the following has been gathered as of this time:

CBD May Change Bad Fats into Good Fats
When we burn calories – an important part of weight loss – we’re burning off brown fat cells. Though CBD can’t help us burn off these calories, a 2018 study found that cannabidiol might just turn white fat cells into brown fat cells.? Making the process of burning calories and body fat a bit easier.

CBD May Decrease Appetite
It’s often assumed that cannabis will stimulate your appetite (or give you the “munchies”). This association is often a product of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive cannabinoid found in marijuana. It is true that THC stimulates appetite by activating CB1 receptors.

However, as mentioned before, CBD doesn’t directly affect the endocannabinoid system. With that, some studies have revealed it may have an effect contrary to the popular assumption of cannabis and appetite.

In a 2018 study, it was found that CB1 receptor antagonists may actually decrease appetite and allow people to take better control of their weight. This is due to an agonists way of blocking off CB1 receptors.

Again, CBD doesn’t directly block off CB1 receptors. What it does do is inhibit other molecules within the body to block off these receptors. In turn, this could be a potential of reducing one’s appetite. Though more research needs to be done to make any confirmation, studies have found cannabidiol to reduce the appetite within rats.

CBD May Decrease Risk of Metabolic Disorders
It understood that obesity is closely associated with various metabolic disorders, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.

Recently, research has been looking into how these disorders may have a direct effect on the endocannabinoid system. Particularly, in the way, CB1 receptors are overactivated through fat tissues.

As we’ve already discussed, CBD will indirectly stop these CB1 receptors from spreading further. In effect, this may not only decrease the chances of obesity but metabolic disorders as well. Through animal research, it’s also been discovered that CBD may have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. If this is true, it could reduce the levels of blood sugar.

Weight Loss Requires More Than CBD

Understandably, though the above research is promising, we’re some ways away from confirming that CBD can aid those trying to lose weight.

Still, though CBD may be a good complementary supplement to add to your current weight loss routine, it’s not the answer for you to lose weight. Without diet and exercise, there’s a good chance you won’t see any weight loss effects from cannabidiol itself.

If you want to give CBD oil a try, you may question what’s the right dosage. This is tricky to answer as everyone’s body works differently. Medical professionals will suggest you start small and slowly increase dosage until you get the response you desire.

If you plan on using CBD products alongside your standard weight loss treatment, it’s important you consult your doctor directly. Cannabidiol may negatively interact with other medications you’re currently taking.

Final Word On CBD Oil For Weight Loss

CBD oil may just be a great complementary therapy for other weight loss treatment. Though it’s not the answer the losing weight or the diseases associated with obesity, it might have the ability to aid you in your weight loss journey.

As (CBD) takes the alternative medicine community by storm, more and more people ask the question, is CBDoil good for my dog? 

It’s been attributed to a number of health benefits, including anti-inflammation and decreased anxiety. Unlike its fellow (THC), it does NOT have psychoactive effects.¹

When it comes to dogs, owners trying to offer the best pet care are receiving a lot of misinformation through the internet.

The purpose of this article is to help you identify how it will affect dogs and which products to keep an eye out for.

How Can CBD Help Your Dog?

Unfortunately, as of this time, there have been no formal studies that look into the effects of canines. Still, scientists are aware that dogs have an (ECS) located in their central nervous system (CNS), just like humans. And when a dog takes it, it indirectly affects their ECS.² Due to this, dogs will receive similar health benefits, including (but not limited to):³

• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-nausea
• Appetite stimulation
• Cardiac benefits
• Chronic pain relief
• Inhibits cancer cell growth

Currently, the AKC Canine Health Foundation is attempting to research how the use may be able to treat dogs struggling with epilepsy.

Will Your Dog Experience Side Effects?

Since no study has looked into CBD-and-dogs, there’s no conclusive evidence that itwill create side effects in your canine. However, we do know of CBD’s side effects in humans. With that, you may run into these side effects when you give to your furry friend:?

• Dry Mouth – Science has discovered that it will reduce the amount of saliva one builds up. Within a dog, this may lead them to become thirstier.
   
• Fatigue – it has been found to be a prominent anti-anxiety medication. However, these effects may also result in fatigue. Especially, if you’re giving your dog high doses.
   
• Low Blood Pressure – When it is taken in high doses, it’s been found to reduce blood pressure for a short period of time. This reduction isn’t anything significant but may leave some sensitive dogs feeling light-headed.

Currently, there are no known risks when it comes to dog use. The only true risk you’ll run into is purchasing a product from an illegitimate company. Since the industry isn’t currently regulated, some businesses have developed products that contain dangerous toxins.

Due to this, it’s very important you find a reputable company you can trust. In order to find a company you can truly trust, keep the following points in mind:

• Make sure the company receives third-party testing.
• Only purchase liquid forms of CBD-for-your dog
• Don’t go for the cheapest prices.
• Always shop for an organic product.
