How to choose quality CBD oil - What are the best products to buy

Cannabidiol is a popular natural remedy extracted from hemp and used for many common ailments.

Also known as CBD, it is one of as many as 100 chemical compounds found in the cannabis or marijuana plant, Cannabis sativa. But it is not just a name on a list. It is, in fact, the second most prevalent active ingredient. The one that doesn’t make you high.

Or as the World Health Organization would put it: “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential…. To date, there is no evidence of public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

Moreover, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently approved Epidiolex for sale. This oral solution tends to the treatment of two rare forms of epilepsy Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome and is the first CBD drug to be legally approved in the US. This will undoubtedly spur on the CBD craze that has swept the world lately.

Note that THC levels for CBD sold in the U.S. should not exceed 0.3 percent for a product to be considered legal in all states.



As the demand for the miracle oil skyrocketed, entrepreneurs rushed in bringing all sorts of exotic products to the market. From CBD water to candy, to CBD infused pillowcases. There is no telling how far things will go next, now that FDA has approved a drug containing this substance.

How to choose quality CBD oil?


Products that derive, or use CBD as their main ingredient have been all the rage for some time.

Indeed, everybody has at least heard about CBD, or even tried it. But as with any booming market segment, fraudulent companies are more than eager to defraud potential buyers, with false advertised benefits or by selling products with an insignificantly low CBD concentration.

You as a modern man need to be aware of these attempts and learn how to differentiate the real from the fake.

Nootropics. Miracle smart drugs or dietary supplements?

If you decide that using CBD will help you with your particular health issues, we are here to lend you a helping hand in finding the ones that work. Let’s start this off with the best advice for men regarding any purchase of products that fall into the dietary supplement category.



The fewer ingredients, the better!

There is no better way to say it. The more extra ingredients a product has the concentration percentage of the main ingredient is weaker. Of course, not all products can contain a 100% concentration of their main ingredient. Be it for dosage, speed of delivery or because it works best in conjunction with other ingredients. But our advice is to keep an eye out for the overall percentage of CBD in a product and choose accordingly.

Look for quality brands

Like any real man you should not look for cheap alternatives when it comes to CBD oil. That is a decision most of us learn the hard way. Stick to companies that have been around for a while and gather all the information you need before deciding what to buy. That doesn’t mean you should stay away from new upcoming products, it only means you should dedicate a little more time and research before making up your mind.

Stay away from the brands that promise unbelievable results

Spectacular therapeutic claims should be one of the foremost things to avoid. Being that CBD is a relative newcomer that is still functioning in a supplement market and one that is unsanctioned by the FDA, you will encounter quite a few products that promise to cure every and all health problems that you might have. From cancer to losing your house in a divorce. The wilder the claim the higher the chances that the respective product is using small doses of synthetic cannabinoid agonists like AB-Fubinaca. This chemical compound is so destructive that Pfizer never used it on humans and it is used to make street drugs like Spice.

Don’t get distracted

Go for the straightforward. The CBD oil products that you take under the tongue and swallow. They are currently the fastest, the most sought after, consumer tested and efficient ways of delivering CBD to your body. No types of CBD products even come close to them. And there sure are a lot of them: lotions, premade edibles, pills, and even vape oil.

Read the instructions and keep a good 4 to 6 hours between doses. Understand that effects may vary depending on body type, eating habits, metabolism or body chemistry. It may take a few weeks before you start to feel the changes or you may need to change the product to find one that suits you. But it will surely be worth it.
