The Benefits Of Hemp Seed Oil

hemp oil and hemp seeds

Hemp seed oil is another popular carrier oil used for CBD and as the name implies, it also comes from the hemp plant. CBD hemp oil is significantly different from hemp seed oil that you commonly find in grocery stores. Hemp seed oil comes from the seeds only and is not a whole plant extract. It does not contain CBD along with other cannabinoids and terpenes by itself.

Hemp seeds contain high concentrations of heart-healthy unsaturated omega fatty acids (essential healthy fats). In addition to being a great source of omega fatty acids, amino acids and protein, hemp seeds are also packed full of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, C, E, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and zinc. On top of that, hemp seeds contain NO cholesterol (1).

The natural (chemical-free) cold-press process used to extract hemp seed oil is similar to the way olives are pressed to yield olive oil. This cold pressing of the hemp seeds leaves the long-chain polyunsaturated omega fatty acids in the oil intact. Fully 25% of some hemp oils are omega-3 fatty acids. No harsh chemical solvents are used in its extraction or processing, and there is significantly less impact on the environment.

Omega fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that may help relieve pain, and fight aging and inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and irritable bowel syndrome. Since the body does not naturally produce omega-3 fatty acids, they must be taken in through food or supplements. Omega-3-rich hemp seed oil is a great source of this highly beneficial substance.

MCT oil contains no omega-3 fatty acids. Furthermore, while the fats in hemp seeds are 90% unsaturated, MCT oil is made up almost entirely of saturated fats. Some studies point to a lower cardiovascular disease risk when replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats (2).

WHY THE CARRIER OIL IS SO IMPORTANT

Using non-hemp carrier oils as a carrier for hemp extracts eliminates some very beneficial vitamins and minerals provided by the hemp plant (1). Due to the large array of substances that are mixed in with different brands of CBD oil...

How do I use CBD oil?

Wilson Botanics CBD oil can be used orally or topically based on the condition it is used for. If using the oil orally, sublingual application (under tongue) is considered more efficient than ingesting (swallowing). The bioavailability of CBD is much higher when taken sublingually, as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. When ingested, the CBD has to pass through the liver where a higher percentage will go to waste.

Directions:

  • Shake your CBD oil bottle well for 10 seconds
  • Fill the included glass dropper with the desired amount of CBD oil
  • Administer the CBD oil
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Sublingual Application: Place the desired amount of CBD oil underneath your tongue and do not swallow for 1-2 minutes. We recommend not drinking anything for at least 5 minutes.

Benefits from CBD can be seen faster or slower depending each person’s anatomy. You can increase your serving amount after each cycle until you’ve achieved the desire effect. We recommend taking your CBD oil at least once a day, for 30 days, before evaluating your results.

* Please consult your physician if you have any questions about taking CBD products.

How much CBD oil should I take?

This is the most common question that people have. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the endocannabinoid system. Everyone is different, and may require a different amount to achieve their desired results. Some people may use only 10-15 drops a day, while others may use 1/2 serving to 1 full serving or more per day.

The general consensus is to start low and slow (only a few drops for the first few days), then increase as needed to achieve the desired results. The goal is to figure out how much or how little you need to take to get results. Some people split it up and take the oil multiple times a day, while others take it just once a day.

* Please consult your physician if you have any questions about taking CBD products.

Will CBD oil get me high?

No, our CBD oil will not get you high. CBD is non-physcoactive (no high). THC is the chemical in marijuana that produces a high. Wilson Botanics CBD Hemp Oil comes from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC. Industrial hemp is federally legal because the amount of THC is considered too low to have any effect. Wilson Botanics isolate and terpene infused oils both use 99% pure CBD isolate, which has no detectable THC. Wilson Botanics CBD Hemp Oil will NOT get you high.

What is the difference between isolate, full-spectrum, and terpene infused CBD oils?

Full-spectrum products include CBD and THC, as well as other cannabinoids and terpenes found in the plant. CBD is non-physcoative (no high), whereas THC is physcoactive (makes you high). While THC is also reputed to have health benefits, it remains illegal in some states and also carries the risk of failing a drug test.

The best way to ensure that there is no THC present and to control purity is to use CBD isolate that is dissolved back into a carrier oil, which in the case of Wilson Botanics CBD Hemp Oil is nutritious hemp seed oil. We also have a terpene infused oil, which gets you closer to a full spectrum product but without the THC.

Will I fail a drug test using CBD oil?

The majority of marijuana drug tests look for the presence of THC. While Wilson Botanics makes no guarantees regarding the results of taking a drug test, it is highly unlikely that you would fail a drug test using any of our THC FREE products. Both our isolate CBD Hemp Oil and Terpene Infused CBD Hemp Oil are THC FREE according to third party lab tests. 

Please consult with your employer or physician if you have any concerns regarding drug testing and CBD products.

Why choose Wilson Botanics?

Our CBD comes from organically grown hemp that has been dried and cured to avoid pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and heavy metals. Raw hemp materials are 3rd party tested to ensure quality before manufacturing. Our isolate and terpene infused products are made with 99% pure CBD isolate – some of the cleanest and purest CBD you will find on the market.

Is Wilson Botanics CBD oil considered “pharmaceutical grade”?

This term is very misleading and often misued in the supplement industry. The truth is, there is no set definition of “pharmaceutical grade” issued by the FDA in regards to the supplement industry.

Some websites claim that pharmaceutical grade refers to having an active ingredient of 99% purity that does not contain binders, fillers, dyes, excipients or other unknown substances.

Wilson Botanics CBD Hemp Oils are made with 99% (or higher) pure CBD isolate by an FDA registered, GMP certified manufacturer. Our oils do not contain binders, fillers, dyes, excipients or other unknown substances.

Why don’t you offer lower concentration CBD tinctures?

Many companies offer varying concentrations of CDB oil, such as 500mg, 750mg, 1000mg, 1500mg, etc. In our experience, most of the higher concentration oils on the market have unnecessary exorbitant markups (oftentimes selling for $150 or more per bottle), making it difficult for some people to afford an effective, high concentrate CBD oil.

A 1 oz bottle of 500mg CBD oil and a 1 oz bottle of 1500mg CBD oil both contain the same amount of liquid carrier oil, which is 1 oz. The difference is that the 1500mg bottle contains 3 times the amount of CBD as a 500mg bottle, so you wind up using 3 times the amount of 500mg oil to get the same amount of CBD as a bottle of 1500mg oil.

Our goal is to offer a superior quality (made with 99% pure CBD), high concentrate CBD oil at a price that you would normally only find in a lower concentration product. With a higher concentration tincture, you get more CBD in each drop, thereby reducing the amount that you need to achieve your desired results. This saves you money in the long run and gives you more bang for your buck.
