Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about CBD, quality, use and choosing an ELIXIR formulation.
General
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in hemp. Unlike THC, CBD is not intoxicating.
CBD and THC are different cannabinoids. THC can produce an intoxicating effect; CBD does not. Product composition and permitted THC limits depend on local rules.
No. CBD is a single compound that can be obtained from hemp. Marijuana describes cannabis varieties and products that may contain materially higher levels of THC.
CBD extract is obtained from cannabinoid-rich parts of the plant. Hemp seed oil is pressed from seeds and naturally contains little or no CBD; it is often used as a nutritional or carrier oil.
Rules vary by country and product type. Check the label and the current requirements in the country where the product is sold and used.
How CBD is made
CBD is extracted from cultivated hemp. The resulting extract is refined and analysed before it is combined with a carrier oil and other formulation ingredients.
Look for batch traceability and a certificate of analysis covering cannabinoid composition and relevant contaminants.
How it works
The endocannabinoid system is a signalling network involving naturally produced molecules, receptors and enzymes. Research continues into how plant cannabinoids interact with this system.
ELIXIR is designed around complete formulations. Each product combines selected botanical ingredients for a specific use moment, rather than presenting CBD as a standalone ingredient.
Taking ELIXIR
Place the drops under the tongue, hold for 30–60 seconds and swallow. Use at a consistent time and always follow the final label.
Begin with the lowest amount stated on the label and increase only gradually. Individual responses differ; seek professional advice when unsure.
Pregnant or breastfeeding people, children, and anyone using medication or managing a health condition should not start without appropriate professional advice.
Choosing a CBD product
Choose a clearly labelled product with a complete ingredient list, batch information, responsible directions and an available certificate of analysis.
Start with the moment or routine you want to support, then review the complete ingredient list and contraindications. The guided finder can help narrow the range.
