Types of CBD Products
Which CBD product you choose is down to your own personal needs. While CBD vape oil works very quickly and is used for acute problems, CBD capsules and CBD oil are more suitable for long-term use. Of course, application and dosage also play an important role in determining which type of CBD is best for you.
CBD Oil: Along with Nordic CBD capsules, CBD oils are the most popular way to take our CBD. CBD oil is easy to dose and is dripped under the tongue (sublingually). A big advantage of CBD oil is that it can be dosed very individually, according to your own needs.
CBD Capsules: CBD capsules are an excellent option for dosing your CBD on the move. With their handy blister packaging and simple, one-size dosage, CBD capsules are an easy and effective way to consume CBD.
CBD Vape Oil: Our CBD vape oils are either smoked or vaporised. One of our most popular products, these are particularly suitable for acute complaints. Dosing is simple and can be easily tailored to the individual.
CBD Balms and CBD Cosmetics: These can both be used alongside CBD capsules and CBD oil. CBD balms are applied topically and are lightly massaged in. CBD Cosmetics can be easily integrated into your daily skincare routine.
CBD oil is completely legal and the purchase of it over the internet is not an evasion maneuver to circumvent a legal gray area, but merely the logical and inexpensive alternative to purchasing CBD products at a pharmacy.
Storing Your CBD Products
At Nordic Oil, we provide only the highest quality CBD oils, as determined by third party evaluations and laboratory testing. To order CBD oil, simply register in our shop and choose the products you need. How you store CBD is particularly important to ensure that the contents remain at their best and do not expire. Our CBD Oils should be stored in a cool, dark and dry place and will last for 6 months after opening. If unopened, our CBD oils are usable for up to two years.
What Goes Into Nordic Oil?
Different concentrations of Nordic Oil have slightly different ingredients. For example, Nordic 15% CBD Oil 10ml contains the following ingredients:
16.28 % CBD (Cannabidiol)
0.38 % CBG (Cannabigerol)
0.07 % THCV
0.06 % CBN (Cannabinol)
<0.03 % CBDA
<0.03 % CBGA
<0.03 % THC
<0.03 % THCA
<0.03 % CBC.
Nordic CBD Oil also contains various naturally-occurring plant substances, hence it is a full spectrum oil and not a pure CBD oil.
In addition, 10 ml of Nordic CBD oil also contains
0.95g saturated fatty acids
1.45g monounsaturated fatty acids
7.6g polyunsaturated fatty acids
CBD oil is also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and has a calorific value of 90 kcal.
The slightly different ingredients in each product means that the application of CBD oil is very individual and it might take time to find the optimum dose for you. For example, 5% CBD Oil might be sufficient for some, but others will only respond to the 15% oil. In principle, CBD oil dosage should start with a 5% oil. The different concentrations of CBD oil indicate the CBD content. The CBD extract is mixed with a carrier oil. The percentage indicates how much CBD is present in the oil.
CBD Isolate vs CBD Extract:
CBD isolate is completely pure CBD, which does not contain any other substances. This means that it only contains the cannabidiol and no plant substances from the hemp plant.
On the other hand, CBD extract contains plant substances alongside cannabidiol, which is why a CBD oil from CBD extract is also called full spectrum oil. Nordic CBD oils are, if no indication is given, full spectrum oils containing all the important and beneficial ingredients.
A CBD oil made from isolate may be beneficial to some users if they do not see the results they desire from a full spectrum oil. However, as some reports have shown, it is more likely that a user may not respond as well to CBD isolate.
Differences in the Extraction Process:
There are a number of different CBD oil extraction processes, but the CO2 extraction process is the gentlest and most common method to dissolve the ingredient. An extraction process using alcohol is also very gentle, but is not as economical as with CO2.
Extracting CBD with CO2: This method of extracting cannabidiol is very environmentally friendly and results in a very pure end product, hence why, at Nordic, this is the method we prefer.
Extracting CBD with Alcohol: With this method, the active ingredient is extracted from the plant material with alcohol. Although the extraction of CBD oil by alcohol extraction is also very gentle, it is less economical and less environmentally friendly.
CBD oil Colour
The CBD oil colour can vary a lot and there are several reasons for this. Nordic CBD Oil, for example, is typically light brown with a green shimmer. Other oils have a golden or dark brown tinge. The most important thing here is the carrier oil with which the CBD extract is topped up. If a hemp seed oil is used, the CBD oil colour is rather greenish to golden brown. If sunflower oil or even coconut oil is used for a better CBD oil taste, the CBD oil has a light and golden yellow colour.
CBD oil flavour
CBD oil has a very distinct flavour, which cannot be avoided and might take some getting used to. The taste of CBD oil can vary, but is often described as bitter or nutty. Our Nordic CBD oils have an intense taste, as we do not use any artificial flavouring to keep the products as natural as possible.
Beware of cheap CBD Oil
Unfortunately, there are still many bogus CBD traders on the market in search of a quick cash grab. In the USA, for example, numerous CBD oils were tested and many were found to contain virtually no CBD, despite the oil being sold as CBD oil at a premium price. For this reason, you should be especially vigilant when looking for cheap CBD oil.
Very cheap CBD oil should only be bought when there are offers or discounts in place at a recognisable brand. The CBD oils on the market in Britain are generally all within the same price range, so cheap and safe CBD is hard to come by. If you are on a budget, look for discount codes and offers.
Nordic CBD also occasionally offers discount codes, in addition to the CBD product sets, so that you can save money when buying CBD. Buying cheap CBD oil should always be conditional on the quality.
