But what is CBD Oil? Here’s is what the company say:
CBD is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It’s a totally safe, legal and non-addictive substance that many people find makes a real difference to their overall wellbeing.
When you take CBD, it interacts with your endocannabinoid, or ECS, system. The ECS is key to supporting homeostasis, which is the body’s way of maintaining an optimum internal environment. It’s the small physiological adjustments that are constantly being made within our bodies to help us sustain the ideal conditions to survive and thrive.
The ECS uses receptors and neurotransmitters to send signals to your cells. Two of the primary receptors are called CB1 and CB2, which are responsible for regulating your neuro-hormones. So, it makes sense that when you introduce cannabinoids to CB1 and CB2 receptors, it can help maintain a natural balance in your body, and support your overall wellness too.
Our CBD supplements are all full-spectrum, which means they contain the complete range of compounds necessary to cause what’s known as the entourage effect. This is where the CBD interacts more effectively with the body, for maximum benefit.
So to summarise, Mindful Extracts produce a range of all-natural, full-spectrum CBD oils and they cleverly only use the highest quality hemp extracts packed with the goodness from the plant. Drops are the most popular way of using CBD products as it makes it makes it not only easy to use but highly effective, ensuring you get all of the benefits the hemp plant has to offer.
10% CBD Oil from Mindful Extracts
The product we tested was on the 10% CBD Oil which is the company’s mid-strength oil and contains 1000mg quantity. What initially impressed me was all the ingredients used were natural, certified lab tested, ethical and sustainable and vegan friendly. But what is more the company are in partnership with One Tree Planted and they plant a tree in Indonesia with every bottle sold. I really do like that idea.
This mid-strength oil is prefect for first-time users and more experienced users as it will calm your body and mind, it really does work wonders on anxiety levels. Each drop has a subtle, natural flavour and contains 5mg of CBD, to provide a controlled and potent dose. This oil is a true USE extract, containing the complete range of compounds found in the organic hemp the company use in order to maximise its effects on the body. Only using oils extracted from the finest, organically grown hemp flowers, means that they quickly deliver the desired effect. The oils from Mindful Extracts are stronger and more effective compared to most other oils on the market, as many of them are made from highly processed or synthetic CBD. A smaller dose can be used with this oil as compared to most other oils, meaning that one bottle from Mindful Extracts lasts for much longer.
This 10% full-spectrum oil is naturally high in other cannabinoids which can have a beneficial effect, including CBDA, CBDVA, CBG, and many more. It also contains a small amount of THC, but within the legal limit and you will not get a ‘high’. Along with the naturally occurring terpenes, flavonoids and essential oils, these compounds all work in harmony to enhance the effect of the CBD on our bodies. This is known as the ‘entourage effect’.
As their CBD is extracted from organically grown hemp and great care is taken about carefully selecting each batch for the highest quality. The company then blend this CBD extract in their GMP approved laboratory with organic hemp seed oil to formulate their award winning CBD Oil. The company use a solvent and chemical free method to process the plant matter which preserves as many of the natural compounds from the plant as possible. It is tested from seed to shelf to ensure there are no pesticides, heavy metals and other contaminants. Certified third-party laboratories are used to independently test the company’s finished products to ensure each batch is formulated optimally. Unlike other producers, Mindful Extracts include the lab results for each batch in the box with a handy leaflet for your peace of mind, this means you will know exactly what you’re taking.
Certified and accredited by the Cannabis Trades Association and CannaPro.
The World Health Organisation, WHO, has certified CBD as safe and non-addictive and there are now medically licensed CBD products on the market for epilepsy and other conditions. Being certified by the WHO impressed me so I started my very elderly dog on it and within a couple of weeks he’s much brighter and not quite as stiff as he walks – now that’s what I call a result!
You might be looking to take CBD just as a general wellbeing supplement or perhaps for a specific need, as this really is one of nature’s gifts and why the company is so passionate about delivering the highest quality oils possible for their customers.
When you are initially just starting out with CBD, try a couple of drops of this 10% full-spectrum oil in the morning and evening, ideally before a meal. Just pop the drops under your tongue and hold them there for at least a minute, actually the longer the better to aid absorption into your system. You can then increase this gradually over the following days and weeks if you would like a stronger dose. Consistency is key so try to take your CBD twice a day.
If you are taking a fairly typical dose of 30mg per day, this bottle will last you over a month. The current maximum daily guideline by the Food Standards Agency is 70mg.
