CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol, which is one of the molecules that is found in the cannabis plant. Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it can also act as a neurotransmitter.

Extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant, CBD oil is a natural essential oil that is used worldwide for many purposes.

All cannabinoid plants produce cannabinoids, known as phytocannabinoids in their plant form. These active compounds are responsible for the health benefits offered by cannabis. Neurotransmitters that are naturally present in the body, known as endocannabinoids, are mimicked by phytocannabinoids.

At the cellular level, neurotransmitters help to regulate body systems. CBD has demonstrated its ability to act similarly to a neurotransmitter, impacting the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular and digestive systems, as well as various organs including the heart, liver, kidneys and skin.

Hemp seed oil has distinct properties from CBD oil. The difference lies in the process by which the oils are produced – hemp seed oil is created from the plant’s seeds, while CBD oil is produced by extracting the essential oils from the cannabis plant’s flowers.

The family of cannabis strains that are grown for food and fibers is known as hemp, while CBD is the molecular compound that is found in the plant’s extracts. Therapist Preferred is extracted from PCR hemp (phytocannabinoid-rich hemp). This proprietary strain is highly rich in CBD, cannabinoids and terpenes compared to the basic hemp plant that is used by most companies that produce CBD products.

The essential oil that is extracted from the flowers of the cannabis plant contains beneficial compounds including cannabinoids and terpenes. In contrast, hemp seed oil is similar to oils such as corn seed and sesame oil, which are produced from the plant’s seeds. The distinction is that there are no terpenes or CBD in hemp oil.

No illnesses associated with the consumption of CBD have been documented. The extensive testing that all Therapist Preferred products undergo ensures that they are THC free and free from harmful contaminants.

Both hemp and marijuana are categorized as cannabis. Marijuana contains THC, which is known as a drug and causes a high. Although hemp contains negligible amounts of THC, it is not considered a drug and does not cause a high.

Homeostasis is known as the body’s natural state of balance. Many people use CBD to promote homeostasis and this is achieved due to the cannabinoids which act as an integral part of the body’s regulation process.

No. All Therapist Preferred products show no THC on independent lab tests. All traces of THC found in the hemp extract are removed in production.

Medical marijuana, also known as medical cannabis, is different that CBD. THC is found in marijuana, which is the chemical that causes a high. Medical marijuana can cause severe impairments if not dosed properly. CBD does not cause a high, therefore, it can be safely used while performing all physical activities, including working, driving and exercising.

CBD oil products that contain a combination of cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial compounds found in PCR hemp are known as ‘broad spectrum’. Therapist Preferred products are manufactured using the same concentrations of beneficial compounds that are found in the original PCR hemp plant without the THC. It is important to note the difference between our products and a full spectrum CBD product that still contains some amount of THC.

Therapist Preferred products do not produce a high as all THC has been removed from the broad spectrum oils.

Organic compounds such as CBD demonstrate various individual effects. Your results may vary, however, you should be aware that some of the reported effects have included improved mood, improved focus, and attention, and restful sleep.

It is not possible to overdose on CBD – there is no documentation that has indicated this. CBD is completely non-toxic and all Therapist Preferred products are THC free.

There are many benefits of using broad spectrum CBD products especially over those containing just a CBD isolate. This is primarily due to the “entourage effect” which occurs when all compounds in the hemp plant work together to produce greater results than just CBD alone. Note that organic CBD produces different effects in different individuals so results may vary.

Hydrocarbon compounds which are produced in the flower clusters of the cannabis plant are known as terpenes. These chemicals are responsible for the distinct aroma of cannabis and have been utilized historically in healing in the form of aromatherapy. The FDA recognizes terpenes as safe for human consumption, which explains their presence in a wide variety of food and cosmetic products.

CBD is completely non-toxic and there have been no reports documenting any overdoses of CBD. Extremely large amounts of CBD have the potential to cause drowsiness as well as those CBD products with Melatonin.

Therapist Preferred is proud to offer some of the most potent products on the market. It is important to understand that the exact amount of CBD varies from one product to another. Exact concentrations of CBD is detailed on the label of each product and further expanded upon in the lab results.

CBD dosage is variable for each individual depending on multiple variables, including the reason for use, administration method, age, weight, sex, diet and fitness level. It is also dependent on the quality of the product. 5 to 50 mg per day have been genetally reported for health maintenance, wellness and minor issues.

The frequency of CBD use varies based on the reason it is being used. It can be administered multiple times a day and may be taken at the onset of particular symptoms.

While negative side effects have not been documented, large quantities of CBD have been shown to cause drowsiness. It is important to be mindful of this as it may be an undesired side effect if your intention is to remain alert.

All Therapist Preferred products are rigorously and serially tested by third-party labs in an effort to ensure purity and proper concentrations of cannabinoids as well as to ensure that they are free from THC and potential contaminants.

No. CBD is non-psychotropic and does not cause a high due to the removal of all THC.

You will not need a doctor’s prescription to use CBD products as CBD is not considered a drug. This means that you will not need to obtain a medical marijuana card to purchase CBD online. It is important to note that some states have created laws which allow doctors to recommend CBD for specific medical conditions.

While there is no expiration date for CBD itself, CBD oil products should be used within a certain time period (generally 18-24 months) as they oils will degrade. Product manufacturing dates are stamped on the products to alert you to this. It is recommended that these be stored in airtight containers in a cool area out of direct sunlight or in the refrigerator.

All Therapist Preferred products are THC Free. This is of the highest priority for us and we provide third-party reports conducted by the most advanced ISO certified cannabis testing labs in the US on every batch. Therapist Preferred can not, and does not represent or warrant as to the results that any individual may experience. We advise you to consider the risks of incorrect detection prior to use of this product.

The endocannabinoid system is a system of neurotransmitters and cell membrane receptors also known as ECS. The central nervous system produces neurotransmitters (such as endocannabinoids) that interact with cannabinoid receptors on cell membranes thereby adjusting physiological processes at a cellular level.

Broad spectrum phytocannabinoid-rich products contain other naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes derived from hemp offering cumulative benefits known as the Entourage Effect.

CBD oil is not naturally water soluble, however, Therapist Preferred softgels are water soluble. We use a patented process to encapsulate the CBD oil into water soluble, nano-sized emulsion particles, that enable the CBD oil to be transported by the bloodstream and easily absorbed by tissues. In addition, our dog treats also contain water soluble hemp powder.
