Question 1

What is CBD?

Accepted Answer

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

Many people are seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals with harsh side effects – medicine more in synch with natural processes. By tapping into how we function biologically on a deep level, CBD can provide relief for chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, depression and many other conditions.

Question 2

How is CBD metabolized when consumed orally? Is it converted to another compound?

Accepted Answer

CBD is metabolized into an analogous compound, 7-hydroxy-CBD, by the liver. Some 6-OH-CBD may also be formed. But scientists know relatively little about the activity (or lack thereof) of these compounds. There is strong evidence that CBD does not convert to significant amounts THC in the stomach.

Question 3

What is the difference between broad- and full-spectrum CBD?

Accepted Answer

If an extract is full-spectrum, this means it contains all phytochemicals naturally found in the plant, including CBD, trace cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils. Full-spectrum extracts from hemp also come with a negligible THC content — below 0.3%

Question 4

Who shouldn't take CBD products?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking products containing cannabidiol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid taking CBD products.
Parkinson’s disease: Cannabidiol may make muscle movement and tremors worse in people with Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, CBD products should be avoided in patients with Parkinson’s.
History of hypersensitivity to cannabidiols or any of the ingredients in the product
Before you start taking a hemp-based product, you should consult with your physician. Inform your doctor of other medications that you are taking before you take Verséa. Do not take CBD if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including cannabidiol. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking/using the product and call your doctor right away.
