Frequently Asked Questions
CBD (or cannabidiol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in cannabis. CBD is the active ingredient in virtually all of our products. Studies show that CBD may promote full-body balance, which can lead to all sorts of positive benefits.
Medterra’s hemp is grown and extracted under the strict guidelines of the Kentucky Department of Agricultural Industrial Hemp Pilot Program, which allows us to legally sell across all 50 states.
That depends on the product. Our broad spectrum CBD products are tested to contain non-detectable levels of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, which Medterra defines for this product as less than 0.8PPM (PPM).
Our full spectrum CBD products, on the other hand, contain just under 0.3% THC by weight. You can view our third-party lab test results by clicking here.
It depends on the testing standards of the lab administering your drug test. Most lab tests only search for THC, which is the main psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. Initial “point of care” drug tests can also confuse CBD for THC, resulting in a ‘false positive.’ If this happens to you, insist on more accurate confirmation testing. You can always contact a lab directly to verify exactly what will be tested.
Those of you who have an upcoming drug test may want to avoid full spectrum and broad spectrum products and switch to CBD isolate temporarily. When in doubt, consult your physician first.
The main difference is CBD content. Hemp oil is sourced from hemp’s seeds. It’s rich in healthy fatty acids but contains virtually no CBD. Hemp seed oil is used as a protein supplement for food, as varnish for wood, and is often used in hair and skin products.
CBD oil, on the other hand, is extracted from hemp’s flowering tops and is rich in CBD. At Medterra we utilize a whole plant CO2 extraction process that allows us to draw the CBD from plant material and filter out inactive ingredients while maximizing active ones.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of cannabinoid receptors located in the brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors.
There are two main types of receptors in the ECS: CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are primarily located in the central nervous system and brains of mammals, and CB2 is generally found in the peripheral nervous system. Mammals produce two main endocannabinoids: 2-AG and anandamide. Read more by clicking here.
