HEMP OIL FACTS | CBD FACTS

Our hemp is meticulously and proficiently examined by the United States Department of Homeland Security, assuring its safety and validity. Because of this, all of our products that contain hemp are federally legal throughout all 50 states. 

WHAT IS PG?

PG stands for Propylene Glycol, an organic glycerol made from propylene oxide, a petroleum by-product. The PG is a thin, odorless and tasteless liquid. The use and effects of propylene glycol have been thoroughly researched. It has been used safely for more than 50 years in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.In vaping it is used to provide a “throat hit”, which some users claim is similar to the sensation experienced when smoking tobacco.

HOW DOES CANNABIDIOL WORK?

Throughout our body is an extensive system of receptors that comprises the endocannabinoid system, or ECS. The primary purpose of the ECS is to maintain homeostatic balance within the body, which it accomplishes through its neurotransmitters — known as endocannabinoids. These endocannabinoids work by regulating different body systems wherever an imbalance is detected; this involves the modulation of various other neurotransmitters, such as serotonin. 

When introduced to the body, the phytocannabinoids in cannabis are specifically formed to bind or interact with the internal cannabinoid receptors of the ECS, and this process facilitates the release of endocannabinoids. However, CBD does not actually bind with cannabinoid receptors; rather, it inhibits the enzymes that breakdown certain endocannabinoids from the bloodstream. In this way, it affects the cannabinoid receptors indirectly. 

WHERE IS YOUR HEMP PROCESSED

We source our industrial hemp from carefully selected fields in the Netherlands, where the farmers have perfected cultivation techniques that have been refined through the experience of multiple generations. These methods enable the production of extremely high quality hemp that has been grown without the use of pesticides, in soil that is free from any contaminants. From there, the hemp is delivered to a state-of-the-art facility in Germany, where it undergoes a super clean, CO2 extraction process that allows the hemp to retain a majority of its raw, natural components; this method is superior to any other extraction method as others are known to leave behind traces of the toxic chemicals that are used to strip the plant of its compounds. There are times we source hemp extracts from within the U.S. depending on availability and quality. 

WHY DO PEOPLE USE HEMP AND/OR CBD?

Currently, the FDA does not allow anyone to make medical claims about hemp or CBD products because this would fall under a medical claim statement. We are committed to following the guidelines set forth online, but these policies do change without our notice. We will update our information as we become aware that any changes have been made.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TAKE HEMP OIL?

There are several different ways to take our Hemp products. Using our tinctures, you can drop the hemp oil under the tongue and wait for it to be absorbed through your sublingual gland. This is one of the fastest and most simple ways of ingesting CBD. You may also drop some in your coffee, tea, or food. Capsules or gel caps are another format, especially for those who would want to take higher doses at once. Our products, whether by tincture or capsule, are meant to suit a variety of needs, so make sure to check out all of our products to find the perfect one for you.

DO I NEED A MEDICAL MARIJUANA CARD TO PURCHASE ECO SCIENCES PRODUCTS?

You do not. We don’t sell Marijuana…  You can purchase our products just as you would vitamins or supplements at your local store or online.

WILL ANY OF THIS GET ME HIGH?

No. Industrial Hemp lacks a potent amount of THC, the only phytocannabinoid that induces psychotropic effects in its users; this means our cbd products are naturally non-intoxicating. These intoxicating effects occur when THC binds with cannabinoid receptor 1, or CB1 Interestingly, CBD actually inhibits the binding of THC and CB1 receptors, thereby mitigating its intoxicating properties. It is this reason that commercial strains of marijuana are typically bred to have very little CBD.

CAN MY DOG HAVE HEMP?

Absolutely. Dogs also have an ECS that works the same way as ours do, and there are a variety of hemp extract products available for dogs on the market. Our dog tinctures contain our extremely high quality, CBD-rich, full spectrum hemp extract and they come in savory bacon and peanut butter flavors that your dog will love!  If you’d like to read more about the specific differences in cbd oil for dogs we have an in depth article that answers a lot of questions.

CAN I GET ADDICTED TO THIS?

The binding of THC and CB1 receptors is what triggers addictive tendencies, as it creates tolerance as well as withdrawal to occur with cessation of THC ingestion; however, because hemp only contains trace amounts of THC, it is non-addictive.

HOW SHOULD I STORE MY HEMP PRODUCTS?

Our products are best kept in a dark, cool place. Make sure to close all of our products properly and securely. Since they are commonly used on a day-to-day basis, it is also recommended that they are stored in an easily accessible place. Some ideal places to store our products are medicine cabinets or your refrigerator.

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS WHEN TAKING CBD OR HEMP?

While all of our products do not require a prescription, we do suggest consulting with a medical health professional if you are pregnant, nursing, attempting pregnancy, or taking other medications as to avoid possible interactions. That being said, none of our products are known to impair or any abilities or hinder your daily activities.
