Lesson 12 evaluating product labels. When evaluating which product to buy, it's important to read labels and view lab results. Many labels will not say how much CBD is in their products. So you need to become a detective. The label may say hemp oil or hemp extract instead, especially in cases where full spectrum extract is being used. Often you will find CBD amounts listed when CBD isolate has been used in the product.
You can go to a company's website and look at the certificate of analysis to see how much CBD is in the product. And then you will have to divide the total amount of CBD in the bottle by a serving size to determine how much CBD is in a serving pure hemp oil concentrate is expensive, so products are mixed with other substances before they are put into the bottle. fat soluble products use other oil based compounds like MCT oil. MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides and in has benefits all by itself. Some manufacturers use olive oil or sunflower seed oil. These products may also include an emulsifier like lecithin.
Another additive is vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol. These are added to products that you can vaporize. propylene glycol is tasteless and odorless and produces less denser vapor. vegetable glycerin has much higher viscosity, which makes it a perfect base. For a thicker and higher density vapor cloud. It's easier on your throat but will have a faster build up around the inside walls of the delivery device.
Both are considered safe. A water soluble product is simply diluted to achieve the concentration desired. Finally, the concentration is important. Two bottles of the same size may have two different concentrations. In other words, there's more CBD in one bottle than the other so the serving size may be smaller.
