CBD oil is increasingly used by people seeking balance in their daily lives. Better sleep, more calm, or support for your body during an active lifestyle: CBD oil offers a natural solution. At Prohemp, you choose a plant-based product with transparent origin, clear labels, and fast delivery. This way, you know exactly what you are using and can confidently start with CBD oil.
What is CBD oil?
Cannabidiol, abbreviated as CBD oil, is a product made from cannabidiol, a substance from the hemp plant. This substance works with the endocannabinoid system in your body, which is involved in processes such as sleep, stress, and recovery. CBD oil has no psychoactive effect, meaning it does not make you high. Besides cannabidiol, there are 104 other substances in the cannabis plant. The best known is Tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC.
How is CBD oil made?
The production of CBD oil starts with the careful cultivation of hemp plants, where essential substances such as cannabinoids and terpenes are extracted from the buds using methods like CO2, oil, or alcohol extraction. This is then mixed with a base oil such as olive oil, MCT oil, or hemp seed oil. Research shows these are the best oils for making CBD oil. While CO2 extraction is superior for Full Spectrum oil because it preserves all plant substances without heating, oil and alcohol extraction focus on more specific purity levels or 'raw' variants. Due to the complexity of this process, its impact on quality, and the need for precise dosing, professionally made and laboratory-tested products from specialists like Prohemp offer a safe and high-quality alternative to the risks of home production.
CBD oil and THC content
To sell CBD oil in the Netherlands, it must contain less than 0.05% THC. The difference with THC lies precisely there: THC is the substance that has a psychoactive effect. In the Netherlands, CBD oil is legal as long as the THC content remains below the legal limit. This allows you to use the oil safely and stay fully clear-headed in your daily activities. This makes CBD oil safe to consume and suitable for all ages.
What types of CBD oil do we have?
CBD oil comes in different forms, each with its own composition and application. At Prohemp, you will find the following variants:
Full spectrum CBD oil
Full spectrum CBD oil contains multiple substances from the hemp plant, including cannabinoids and terpenes. This combination creates an entourage effect, where the substances enhance each other. This variant contains a minimal amount of THC within the legal limit. Many users choose this form for the broadest possible effect.
Broad spectrum CBD oil (THC-free)
Broad spectrum CBD oil contains multiple substances from the hemp plant, but without THC. This allows you to benefit from a broad profile without the presence of THC. This makes it a suitable choice if you want to consciously avoid THC. The effect remains versatile, but without the entourage effect with THC.
How do the different types of CBD oil compare?
The different types of CBD oil vary in composition and effect. These differences determine which variant suits your situation best.
| Type | Composition | Effect | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full spectrum | CBD + other substances + traces of THC | Entourage effect | Broad effect | Contains small amount of THC (alternative: broad spectrum) |
| Broad spectrum | CBD + other substances, no THC | No THC, but broad effect | Suitable for THC-free use | Slightly less complete effect (alternative: full spectrum) |
CBD oil strengths and percentages
CBD oil is available in different strengths. The percentage indicates how much cannabidiol is in the oil and determines how powerful the effect is. Which strength suits you best depends on your experience, body weight, and purpose of use.
- 5%: suitable for beginners or light use, for example if you want to get acquainted with CBD oil
- 10%: for regular use, when you want to experience a slightly stronger effect
- 20%: for experienced users who need a higher dosage
- 30%: for more intensive use, when lower percentages do not provide enough effect
