Our Basic Guide To Understanding Types of CBD

Many people are familiar with CBD and may seek it for a variety of reasons. As the legalization of cannabis for both medicinal and recreational purposes continues to rise, consumers have taken advantage of the easy access to CBD products. Despite the popularity in the public sphere, many consumers are unaware of what CBD is, how it works, and how it can influence their daily lives. If you’re looking to explore the world of CBD products, there are a plethora of elements you need to pay attention to in order to be a fully informed consumer. Here are some common questions people may ask, such as what types of CBD there are and the differences between them.


What Are CBD Products?

CBD or Cannabidiol is one of the many compounds found in the cannabis plant, and is non-psychoactive. THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol is another component found in the cannabis plant that contributes to the intoxicating feeling people may experience. These are the two most common cannabinoids that are known by the public. With so many of these products on the market, they can vary as to how much CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids are present within the delivered product. CBD laws vary from state to state, to learn more about what these laws entail, you can click here for more information.

CBD products are more of a holistic approach and are enticing options for those who enjoy the simplicity of natural products.


How Much Should You Consume?

Once you have started using quality CBD products, it’s important to be mindful of the dosage, especially for those who have only tried it a handful of times. Start with a lower dosage and gradually increase it over time. By starting off on the lower end of the spectrum, this will give you sufficient time to assess how it will affect your body and provide you with desired effects. You can read more about dosing our specific products on our FAQ page.


The Types of CBD Products Available

Typically speaking, CBD products come in the following forms: Tinctures, pills, capsules, roll-ons, balms, topical creams, bath bombs, soaps, and in edible form. The different forms of CBD cater to the needs of consumers, depending on what they’re seeking and wanting out of that product. CBD oil is one of the most reliable methods of CBD consumption and most sought after product for consumers.


Benefits of Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

Valor Craft Performance products are produced from the entire hemp plant and are full-spectrum products. Full-spectrum products contain naturally occurring cannabinoids that are present in a hemp plant. They also contain other elements such as terpenes. Full-spectrum products will also have traces of THC, but not enough to cause psychoactive feelings. When products are full-spectrum, the cannabinoids will spur a process known as the entourage effect. This refers to the effectiveness of the products when considering the interaction between terpenes and cannabinoids.


Is The Oil Safely Extracted? What Kind of Methods Are Used to Get This Done?

As it stands, CO2 is the cleanest method of extraction. When using these extraction methods, it will dramatically reduce the likelihood of contamination. Extractions function at lower temperatures and will actively work to preserve CBD and terpenes that are found in the plant.


The extraction is also deemed environmentally-friendly. With CO2 being a natural gas, it can easily be salvaged and reused for reducing waste. If CO2 escapes during the extraction process, it will not pose any threats to the environment. Remnants of the extract that are left behind are solvent free, meaning users will not incur any risks.

During the process, distillation is utilized to concentrate the compounds while simultaneously removing any impurities from the product. This will produce a clear liquid with a subtle aroma and flavor. The distilled compound is then mixed with organic MCT oil which ensures that the THC content is under 0.3% (in direct compliance with federal and regulatory limits).
