The popularity of CBD oil is increasing rapidly. More and more people are positive about using CBD. This leads to an increase in the use of CBD oil. The explosive growth in the CBD market has resulted in many new providers and new CBD oils. What is the best CBD oil? And what should you look for when buying CBD? In the next blog article, we will explore the best CBD oil.
When looking for the best CBD oil, it is important to pay attention to several factors. Quality, price, reliability, service, and the supplier all play an important role. Before we go deeper into these points, let’s look at where CBD comes from and what exactly CBD is.
Where does CBD come from?
CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is one of the many substances from the cannabis plant. The cannabis plants are specially cultivated to make CBD products. CBD oil is often compared to weed oil, and most people think CBD is illegal.
CBD may not contain more than 0.05% THC. THC, which stands for Tetrahydrocannabinol, is a substance commonly found in weed oil. If you consume too much THC, you will feel stoned or ‘high’. Because THC is abundant in weed oil, weed oil is prohibited. Weed oil is often made illegally and cannot be found on an ‘official’ website.
The cannabis plant used for CBD products contains little THC. During the process, the CBD is extracted from the plant. Besides CBD, there are other substances in the plant that are often used in CBD products. When all these substances are combined, a Full Spectrum CBD oil is created. We will go into more detail about this later.
Most CBD is found in the buds of the cannabis plant. Once the CBD is extracted, it is a paste-like substance. This paste-like CBD substance is added to the final product (for example, oil to make CBD oil).

Choose the right quality
CBD is becoming increasingly popular. To find the best CBD oil, it is important to look at the quality of the CBD oil. CBD oil comes in different percentages. The lightest form from some providers is 1.25%. This CBD oil does very little and often does not have the desired effect. The process of making CBD is very time-consuming, which is why CBD is quite expensive. Multiple plants need to be cultivated to extract a small amount of CBD.
Because CBD is expensive, some providers choose to offer a low percentage of CBD. This makes it seem very cheap, but the desired effect is not achieved. CBD usually only works from 5% upwards. That is why ProHemp only offers CBD oil starting at 5%.
5% CBD oil is often used preventively or for children. If you want to use CBD for a specific purpose, it is important to choose the right percentage.
Always check if the provider is reachable
If you want the best CBD oil, you want to be well informed. An honest provider can give you accurate information about how CBD works, its use, and dosage. If the provider is only reachable via an online form, stay away. The provider must be reachable by phone. It’s even better if they have a chat function or can offer personal advice.
Which CBD is offered on the website?
There are several ways to make CBD. Growing the plants is often done on a large scale. The amount of CBD from one plant is minimal. Multiple techniques are used to make CBD. The best-known technique is CO2 extraction. This method is the most efficient way to extract CBD. It is used to make Full Spectrum CBD oil.
Full spectrum CBD oil is an oil in which all substances are preserved. Not only CBD, but also CBG, CBN, CBC, and CBGA. The substances enhance each other's effects, resulting in the highest quality CBD oil. This is also called the ‘entourage effect’.
A major advantage of CO2 extraction is that the CBD is not heated. Heating can cause substances to be lost.
Full spectrum CBD oil also contains a small amount of THC. This is never more than 0.05% and is therefore legal. The THC does not cause a high and is not detectable. This means you can drive while using CBD oil.
Besides Full spectrum oil, there is also CBD Broad Spectrum. In Broad Spectrum oil, all substances are preserved, but there is no THC in the oil. This is also called THC-free CBD oil.
A good website offers multiple types of CBD oil. The quality of the oil starts from growing the plants to bottling the bottles.
CBD with MCT oil or hemp seed oil?
CBD itself is very spicy. If you are looking for a high-quality CBD oil, the whole process is important. Choosing the right added oil is also very important. Often two types of oil are used in good quality CBD, CBD with MCT oil or CBD with hemp seed oil.
If you choose a CBD with hemp seed oil, the taste is spicy. If you choose a CBD based on MCT oil, the taste is lightly spicy. The taste of CBD can vary with each batch. This is due to the natural process.

Is the supplier reliable?
An important point; choose the right supplier. It is important to choose a reliable supplier. We have had customers who felt that the CBD oil from another supplier did not work. The price was the best on the market, but the effect was not good. We asked to test the CBD oil. It turned out to be olive oil (without CBD).
It is therefore very important that you find a reliable supplier. How can you do that?
- What are the reviews of the provider like?
- Does the supplier have everything tested independently?
- Are they reachable by phone?
- What does the website look like? Is it professional or a makeshift website?
- What does the assortment look like?
- Does the provider give enough information about the product?
- Is there a FAQ where good questions are answered?
- Is there an About Us? And what is the supplier’s story?
Finding a reliable supplier before you start with CBD is very important. Are you looking for the best CBD oil? Then don’t just look at the price, but also at the reliability.
Ask for a test report
CBD is available in different percentages. This often varies between 2.5% and 40% CBD per bottle. But how do you know if there is enough CBD? And how do you know that the CBD is good?
With some suppliers, such as ProHemp, each batch is tested separately in an independent laboratory. This way you can be sure that your product is good and contains enough CBD. A test report is often available for each product.
-
What about the price?
The process of making CBD is very difficult. This is reflected in the price. A 10 ml bottle with 10% CBD costs between €40 and €120. Depending on the supplier, you pay more or less for this bottle. There is a big difference in price among different suppliers. This can be due to several factors. Some suppliers are resellers and there is a wholesaler in between. There are providers who grow the cannabis plants themselves, ensuring the price, quality, and delivery reliability.
There are suppliers who offer a low percentage, for example 1.25% CBD. It may seem like a bottle is very cheap, but when you calculate it to an oil with 5% CBD, it’s actually quite expensive.
At ProHemp, we focus on the price-quality ratio. ProHemp offers fair prices with top-quality CBD.

Choose service
CBD has been around for a while. Its popularity has increased in recent years. For many people, CBD is still an unfamiliar market. Many don’t know the benefits of CBD or how to use it for optimal effect. If you are looking for CBD and have never used it before, first familiarize yourself with the product and how it works. Find a provider who helps you find the best CBD that suits your needs.
You can opt for a free consultation. This way, a specialist can help you achieve the desired end result. The use only starts after you have purchased your CBD. Using CBD correctly is very important.
How do you use CBD?
CBD is not a miracle cure that immediately relieves all your complaints after intake. It’s important to take CBD properly and consistently. If you have never used CBD before, start with a lower percentage.
Example: After a phone consultation, you want to start using CBD. For the best effect, you ultimately need a CBD oil with 20% CBD. You have never used CBD before and your body is not used to it. In this case, you start with a 10% CBD oil. The first phase is the buildup phase.
Buildup phase
During the buildup phase, your body gets used to the CBD. You start with a low dosage and a lower percentage. The way you use CBD remains the same throughout the process. You drop the recommended amount under your tongue. You let the CBD oil sit under your tongue for 90 seconds before swallowing. The glands under your tongue absorb the CBD quickly, giving it the best effect. In the buildup phase, you let your body get accustomed to the CBD. The endocannabinoid system absorbs the CBD well.
The endocannabinoid system
The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is a natural system in the body. It’s a tricky word to pronounce, the endocannabinoid system, also known as ECS. Endo means inside or within. It’s often explained as “own” because it’s inside you. And when people hear cannabinoid, they often think of illegal substances. If we translate the endocannabinoid system nicely, it’s the body’s own cannabinoid system. The ECS is a system in your body that produces natural substances beneficial for certain functions (we’ll go into more detail shortly). You have it, your neighbors have it, even your pet has it; the endocannabinoid system.
How does the endocannabinoid system work?
You are riding your bike to work. There is a tree on the road, so you cannot go further. You call the municipality to have the tree removed. A few minutes later, the municipality arrives and removes the tree. You get on your bike and continue riding.
A simple example of how the endocannabinoid system works. The ECS is a signal sender of our body. In the story above, the road is your body and the municipality is our brain, the organization that monitors and manages everything. Because the endocannabinoid system sends a signal, the problem can be solved and you can continue on your way.
The endocannabinoid system does not repair defects itself but does detect them. The tree can represent many things in this case. It could be pain, inflammation, thoughts, or other processes in your body. The detection of these defects happens at the cellular level. Signals are sent that connect to two receptors: CB1 and CB2 receptors.
System out of balance
If your endocannabinoid system is out of balance, it may mean that signals are not properly transmitted to the brain. In this case, the tree remains on the road, preventing you from moving forward. You try to avoid the tree with some maneuvers to continue. However, the tree remains, so the problem is not solved. Think of pain in your body—you keep going, but the pain persists. Your body cannot properly address the source, which may cause more pain or underlying complaints.
For many people, the ECS is out of balance, which can cause complaints. It is important to restore balance to the ECS.
This information is very important before you start with CBD. Not every seller explains how CBD works and how to use it best.

Choose the right supplier
The combination of the 4 points above creates the perfect supplier. That is why it is important to buy CBD from a seller who guides you through the process. Your CBD journey only begins once you have purchased the CBD. Guidance is very important in this process. A supplier focused solely on sales will never help you in your journey.
At ProHemp, we understand how important it is to relieve your complaints. To help you with this, we take on this challenge together with you. In addition to offering the best price for CBD oil, ProHemp also provides the highest quality CBD oil. Our years of experience ensure that you receive the best CBD oil.
