If you like the taste of CBD Oil UK, then we have strengths that go all the way up to 25%, which is an extremely potent product. Our feedback and several independent reviews suggest that our oil is the best cbd oil uk in terms of effectiveness. It is raw cbd oil uk, which means it is not heated and contains a balance of cannabinoids and terpenes similar to what is found naturally in the hemp plant, which is optimal for the entourage effect.
Our CBG Oil UK is another highly effective oil that seems to be much more potent than CBD oil uk, and also seems to have a different effect. Different balances of cannabinoids work better for different people, so one person may have better results with a CBD dominant oil and another may have better results with a CBG/CBD mixture. We recommend trying both to see what works for you.
If you are not a fan of the natural hempy taste, then our Water Soluble Cbd UK is probably your best bet. This advanced product can mix perfectly into drinks and still be highly effective. If you mix normal CBD Oil with a drink and swallow it directly, only a small amount of CBD will be absorbed. This product overcomes this issue with its superior bioavailability and can be up to 10 times more effective than a standard oil when ingested.
If you are looking for a topical or CBD cosmetic product, look no further than our CBD cream UK. This product contains 250mg of full spectrum CBD, a range of organic plant extracts and has a calming effect. Suitable for all skin types, we are confident that this product will replace and outperform and face or body cream you currently have.
What is CBD?
CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of over 120 naturally occurring cannabinoids found in Cannabis or Hemp plants. For those of you who don’t know already, Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis Sativa L plant which tends to have low levels of THC and high levels of CBD. Unlike THC, CBD will not get you high and studies have found that it is perfectly safe for regular human consumption.
A cannabinoid is any chemical that binds to or affects cannabinoid receptors such as CB1 and CB2 in the brain and body. The three main groups of cannabinoids are phytocannabinoids, endocannabinoids and synthetic cannabinoids.
Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids found in the Cannabis Sativa L plant, however, cannabinoids in fresh plant matter are in acidic forms such as: CBDa, THCa, CBCa and CBGa. When these acidic forms are exposed to heat or light, they transform into CBD, THC, CBC and CBG. This transformation is known as decarboxylation.
Endocannabinoids are cannabinoids that are produced naturally within the bodies of nearly every animal organism. The two most important endocannabinoids are anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. Endocannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors are the two pillars of the endocannabinoid system, which controls vital bodily functions such as our immune system, mood, memory, appetite, sleep patterns and pain.
Interestingly, CBD and many other cannabinoids found in CBD Oil seem to react with our own cannabinoid receptors in a similar way to endocannabinoids.
The final group, synthetic cannabinoids, are as the name suggests, cannabinoids that have been produced synthetically in a laboratory. One example of a synthetic cannabinoid is dronabinol which is the active ingredient in MARINOL, a medicine that has been used to prevent nausea, vomiting, weight-loss and loss of appetite.
What is CBG Oil?
CBG is known as the 'stem cell cannabinoid' or the 'mother of all cannabinoids'. This is because CBG is the original molecule that all other cannabinoids come from.
Over time, the acidic form of CBG - CBGa, breaks down into CBDa. CBCa and THCa. When subject to heat or naturally over time, these acidic forms begin to convert to CBD, CBC and THC.
CBG Oil is very expensive to make as the hemp plant only produces very low levels of CBG, normally less than 1% of the plant's total weight. This means much more raw materials and work are needed to create an oil with significant levels of CBG.
The most effective CBG oils, like our CBG Hemp Oil, contain a 1:1 ratio of CBD and CBG. This gives them a powerful entourage effect and makes them incredibly potent.
Is CBD oil legal in the UK?
Yes, as long as CBD oil is sold as a food supplement, no medical claims are made, and products contain less than 1mg of THC then CBD is legal to buy and sell in the UK.
Does CBD get you high?
No, unlike THC, CBD is non will not get you high. CBD is non-intoxicating and the traces of THC (within legal limits) present in our products are far too low to have to produce any kind of high.
What is the Endocannabinoid System?
The Endocannabinoid System is a network of receptors which are present throughout the human body. It regulates vital bodily functions such as our immune system, mood, memory, appetite, sleep patterns and pain. Interestingly, CBD has a very similar chemical structure to anandamide, which plays a key role in regulating the endocannabinoid system.
Can CBD help with anxiety, depression, stress, pain, PTSD, or high blood pressure?
Due to UK law, we are not permitted to make any medical claims. If you have any doubts about the power of CBD. Have a quick search on Google and your questions will soon be answered. Many studies have shown that CBD helps with a wide range of issues.
What's inside the bottle?
We like to keep our CBD Hemp oils as simple and natural as possible so our bottles contain nothing but full spectrum CBD extract hemp seed oil. 100% natural and all from the same plant!
What are the benefits of hemp seed oil?
Hemp seed oil is known as "nature's most perfectly balanced oil" due to its perfect 3:1 ratio of essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are essential for human health. This makes it an excellent contribution to a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Why is whole plant or full spectrum CBD better than CBD isolate?
Whole plant or Full Spectrum CBD Oil UK allows the user to benefit from the 'entourage effect', which is when multiple active ingredients work in synergy to create a more powerful effect. Whole plant or full spectrum CBD contains trace elements of THC, CBDV, CBG, CBC, CBDA and terpenoids. CBD isolate is just pure CBD.
What is CO2 extraction?
CO2 extraction uses pressurised carbon dioxide to extract cannabinoids and other phytochemicals from the plant. It requires highly expensive machinery and is the cleanest, safest and most effective method of extracting cannabinoids. CLICK HERE to read more about How CO2 Extraction Works.
How many milligrams of CBD are there per drop of BROWN'S CBD Hemp oil UK?
5% (500mg) = 2.5 mg per drop
25% (2500mg) = 12.5 mg per drop
(Total mg of CBD/total number of drops)
Each bottle has approx 200 drops.
How long does it take to feel the effects of CBD oil?
If the CBD oil is taken sublingually (held under the tongue before swallowing), it should take no longer than 30 minutes to feel the effects. If the oil is swallowed directly or mixed with food or drink, it could take up to two hours.
What is the difference between Hemp & Cannabis?
Whilst very different in terms of genetic profile, Hemp & Cannabis both belong to the Cannabis Sativa species and are in fact the same plant. Hemp tends to have high levels of CBD and low levels of THC, whilst what most people refer to as Cannabis tends to have high levels of THC and low levels of CBD.
What are the main CBD benefits?
Those of us who use CBD know first hand how effective it can be. However, all we can legally tell you is that CBD is an excellent Food Supplement for enhancing general health and well being. If you would like to know if it could help with anything else, do some research and make an informed decision.
Will a 30ml bottle last longer than a 10ml bottle?
The size of the bottle doesn't matter if the CBD content is the same. If your optimum dose is 10mg, you would need 2 drops of a 1000mg, 10ml bottle. To get the same dose from a 1000mg, 30ml bottle you would need roughly 6 drops. In the end, the two bottles would last the same amount of time.
What is the difference between CBD Oil and CBD Hemp Oil?
CBD Hemp Oil is made using a mixture of high CBD Hemp extract and hemp seed oil. If a CBD oil is made using these same ingredients then it would be the same product as CBD Hemp Oil. However, other CBD oils could be made using olive or coconut oil. Be cautious of products named 'Hemp Oil' as in some cases they are just hemp seed oil with no CBD content. The CBD content should be clearly visible on the label.
Are there any CBD Oil side effects?
A thorough report from the World Health Organisation concluded that CBD and CBD oils are non-toxic, perfectly safe for regular human consumption and have no potential to cause addiction. However, CBD is still in early stages of research so it is best to listen to your body. The only CBD Oil Side Effects that have been reported to us from customers, is feeling tired when taking too much or potential gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals, but this can usually be overcome by reducing the dose and finding what works best for you.
Why do I need to shake the bottle?
As our oils are made using 100% natural ingredients, it is natural for these ingredients to separate over time. Our CBD Hemp Oil for example, contains a blend fo Full Spectrum Hemp Extract and Hemp Seed Oil. If you use the CBD Oil or Water Soluble CBD Product without shaking it, you may not be getting a consistent amount of CBD. So remember to shake!
What is your best selling product?
In 2024 our best selling products are our CBD patches and our 10% CBD Hemp Oil.
Can CBD be absorbed through the skin?
Yes! CBD balms can be surprisingly effect when rubbed onto joints or muscles. If you don't want to buy CBD Cream, rubbing CBD Oil onto the desired area can be just as effective (depending on strength). However, our CBD patches offer the most effective CBD absorption through the skin.
What is CBDa?
CBDa (Cannabidiolic acid) is the acidic form of CBD. The Hemp plant naturally produces CBDa, which then converts into CBD when subject to heat or light. This conversion is known as decarboxylation.
CBDa was previously deemed to be an inactive cannabinoid, which triggered many producers to focus on completely converting all of the CBDa to CBD in CBD oils.
However, more recent research is showing that CBDa not only plays a key role in the entourage effect and maximises the potency of CBD Oil, but also has its own unique benefits.
Our CBD Hemp Oils contain a healthy balance of CBD to CBDa which one of the reasons why they are so effective. To read more about CBDa, CLICK HERE.
What is a Whole Plant Extract?
As with a Full-Spectrum Extract, Whole Plant Extract means that the extract contains all, or nearly all of the compounds that naturally occur in the hemp plant. CBD Isolate or Distillate are not classed as whole plant extracts. All of our products are made using Whole Plant Extracts to ensure that the oil contains the widest range of wellness-boosting compounds.
What Does CBD Oil Taste Like?
Most find that it has a natural earthy/nutty flavour with fruity hints, which intensifies as the strength increases. Higher strengths can be slightly bitter.
Is CBD Psychoactive?
Contrary to what many say, CBD is psychoactive. A psychoactive substance is simply any substance that has a significant effect on the mind. Which CBD does. But that doesn't mean that it will get you high or that it is not safe. Caffeine is also classed as a psychoactive substance. An in depth review from The World Health Organisation found that CBD is non-intoxicating, non-addictive and perfectly safe for regular consumption.
Is CBD Addictive?
No, as mentioned in the critical review of CBD from the World Health Organisation, CBD does not seem to have any known addictive potential.
What is RAW?
RAW is a term that is commonly used to describe foods that have not been cooked. However, it can also define a material or substance in its original, unprocessed state. In regards to CBD Oil, a RAW CBD oil will not have been forcefully heated to convert all of the acidic cannabinoids such as CBDa into their neutral forms such as CBD. This conversion is known as decarboxylation. CBDa will also decarboxylate naturally over time, hence the reason RAW CBD Oils have a balance of CBD and CBDa. We believe that maintaining this balance is a key aspect to effective CBD Oils.
Can CBD Interfere with Medication?
Yes, CBD can potentially interfere with a wide range of medications. If you are taking prescription medication, please consult your doctor before using our products.
