What is CBD oil?

CBD oil (or cannabidiol) is one of the forms in which CBD is most marketed on the market in France.

CBD is produced mainly from hemp flowers. Hemp is a variety of plant of the Cannabis Sativa species. The latter is rich in CBD (cannabidiol), a molecule that is part of the cannabinoid family. The best-known cannabinoids are CBD and THC.

THC is the main active molecule in cannabis, it is considered psychoactive and can be addictive because it acts on the reward and motivation circuit, linked to addiction due to the increase in dopamine concentrations in the meso limbic circuits. THC is a molecule that is considered narcotic and therefore prohibited in France. THC causes psychotropic effects unlike CBD. CBD does not have psychotropic effects. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause addiction and does not cause side effects on health.

Extracting CBD and Creating CBD Oil

Cannabidiol extraction involves removing the CBD extract from the hemp, in order to transform it into a usable form of CBD. There are different extraction methods (cold method, carbon dioxide method, solvent method, etc.). Once extracted, the CBD will be mixed with vegetable oil (most often coconut oil) in order to create the CBD oil that you consume. At Délicure, we use avocado oil as well as sweet almond oil because of their natural taste but also their many benefits.

Effects of CBD

Often considered by its consumers as a well-being ally , CBD is unfortunately considered a new molecule in France, as such cannabidiol does not yet benefit from authorized claims (like probiotics), so we cannot say that CBD is used to reduce stress, pain and to improve the quality of sleep.

Composition of CBD oil

CBD oil is not an oil made up of 100% cannabidiol. It contains CBD extracts mixed with other oils often of plant origin (olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc.) To refine the taste of CBD oils, it is possible to add natural or non-natural flavors. 

CBD oil: which dosage to choose?

Choosing the right dosage of CBD oil is important to optimize the effectiveness of the product. When it comes to the dosage of CBD oil, there is no ideal amount, everything will depend on the specific needs of each consumer.

Many factors influence the intensity and duration of the effect of cannabidiol, such as the person's weight, their tolerance to the product and the symptoms targeted.

Not all CBD oils are the same, in fact, they are distinguished by their CBD concentration (in the form of a percentage %). This is therefore a criterion to take into account when choosing the right dosage.

Not all CBD oils are the same, in fact, they differ in their CBD concentration, cannabinoid spectrum and price range (as a percentage %). These are therefore criteria to take into account when choosing the right product.

Tips for choosing the right dosage

When using CBD oil for the first time, it is best to start by consuming small doses. Subsequently, you can gradually increase the number of doses and the quantity to find the ideal dosage.

To establish the right dosage, you must take your weight into account. The ideal is to consume 0.5 mg of CBD per kilo to feel a satisfactory effect. For example, the recommended dosage for a woman who weighs 60 kilos is 30 mg. This dosage can be taken all at once or in several doses. Example: three doses (morning, noon and evening, or approximately 10 mg per dose). It is advisable not to exceed 50 mg of CBD per day. Délicure provides you with a calculator allowing you to know how much CBD to consume according to your goals and your weight.

For an oil with 10% CBD concentration, one drop of oil contains approximately 5mg of CBD; while one drop of oil concentrated at 30% CBD contains approximately 15mg.

Délicure CBD oils are organic and 100% natural. Composed of cbd and plants, they promote relaxation, facilitate falling asleep and help reduce muscle and joint pain.

How to take CBD oil?

CBD oil can be consumed in two ways:

• Sublingually: This is the method that allows CBD to be better absorbed. CBD oil is presented in the form of a small vial with a dropper, which allows you to precisely dose the quantity of product to be consumed. This desired quantity of product, in the form of drops, must be placed under the tongue. These drops will be quickly absorbed by the mucous membranes. Indeed, the effects of CBD are felt in just 10 minutes after ingestion. The only drawback is the bitter taste of the product, it can be annoying for some consumers.

• Orally: this other method allows you to neutralize the particular taste of CBD. It consists of placing drops of cannabidiol on a food, or mixing them with a liquid. The taste of CBD will diminish, or even disappear. It is even possible to use CBD oil for cooking , by adding a few drops to a classic oil. However, with this consumption, the effects of CBD will be felt less quickly and the CBD will be much less effective.

CBD in other forms

Please note that cannabidiol oils cannot be used in an electronic cigarette. Only CBD e-liquids can be used because they are specially designed for this technology. In this e-liquid, cannabidiol is mixed with other ingredients such as propylene glycol.

CBD also exists in the form of flowers, soft capsules to ingest, candies and gummies or cosmetics to apply to the skin (ointments, creams, balms, etc.).

Regardless of the chosen method of consumption, it is advisable to respect the dosage prescribed on the product and not to exceed the recommended dose. As for the conservation of the bottle of CBD oil, it is better to favor a dry, cool place protected from light.

When to consume CBD oil?

There is no ideal time to consume CBD, it always depends on the needs and organism of each consumer.

Some people consume CBD in the morning, by adding a few drops of oil to their coffee for example. Others consume CBD in the evening to promote relaxation and therefore prepare for sleep. CBD oil must be consumed sublingually for perfect effectiveness, it is possible to add it to dishes and drinks but the effectiveness will be greatly altered.
