FAQs

CBD is an abbreviation for cannabidiol, a phyto-cannabinoid compound
within the category of cannabinoids, active components of cannabis.
Unlike THC (the cannabinoid compound that produces a “high” in the
user), hemp-derived CBD is notable for its lack of psychoactive
properties. What CBD does possess, however, is the reported ability to
positively affect certain functions in the human body. These reported
effects allow CBD’s potential health benefits to be accessed by more
people in a wider variety of circumstances.

According to the Federal Farm Act of 2014, and as expanded upon with the
Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (i.e., the “2018 Farm Bill”), hemp
plants containing less than 0.3% THC are considered legal for
cultivation and production. Wellphora CBD hemp oil is extracted from
plants that meet those guidelines and, subject to state mandated
limitations, is federally legal in all 50 US states.

“Hemp Oil” is often used synonymously with “CBD Oil” in the hemp industry. Hemp seed
oil, which contains no CBD, is also sometimes referred to by the name Hemp Oil, and can cause questions to be raised on how a product is being marketed and the CBD content of a product.

This confusion can be a way to mislead the uneducated consumer. In fact, products labeled as hemp oil may not contain any CBD at all. It’s important to look for products with clear labels showing the overall quantity of CBD—and the mg per dose—as well as other ingredients. In a study of CBD products from 2017, almost 70% of the analyzed samples were mislabeled.

Prior to the 2018 Farm Bill being signed by President Trump in December 2018, CBD was treated as a Schedule I controlled substance, and considered federally illegal. It was, however, already legal in 46 states at that time. Because of the federal limitations on CBD, large retailers such as Amazon, EBay, etc. did not allow CBD products to be sold on their platforms. In order for a product to be considered “federally legal,” it was labeled as “Hemp Oil,” while CBD was called “Hemp Extract”. This allowed manufacturers to ship and distribute to states where CBD was legal, prior to December 2018.

No. When hemp-derived CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, the psychoactive component in hemp, THC, is present in such low, federally mandated trace amounts that it causes no “high” effect.

The THC concentration of all Wellphora products remains below the legal limit set forth by Federal regulations. This low level of THC is typically too low to be measurable during drug testing, but is still present and comes with a theoretical risk of a positive test. Legally, any positive THC test result with a hemp-derived CBD product at or below 0.3% THC would constitute a false positive. However, an employer, at their sole discretion has the right to enact a zero tolerance drug testing policy where even a false positive THC drug test could cause an issue.

Our Canneuro hemp oil uses an extremely high-grade organic, fractionated coconut oil as a carrier. “Fractionated” refers to the process of separating out certain parts of regular coconut oil, to produce a healthy oil that acts as an excellent source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and stays liquid at lower temperatures. MCTs can play a role in helping burn more fat and calories and reportedly may aid in weight loss. Our pure organic MCT oil is more expensive than other ingredients commonly used as a carrier for other hemp-derived CBD oils.

Hemp-derived, full-spectrum CBD contains other naturally-occurring complimentary cannabinoids, as opposed to “CBD isolate or Pure CBD,” which has had those additional components distilled out. Full-spectrum CBD is considered to be more effective than other types of CBD. This is believed to be due to the “entourage effect,” or the combined effect of multiple cannabinoids working together, naturally, within the body in ways that are still not fully
understood or explained by science.

There are currently very few (if any) negative side effects associated with CBD. CBD is generally considered safe for human and animal consumption. If someone were to take an excessive amount of CBD, you may experience effects of drowsiness. Something to consider is that CBD can help other medications work more efficiently, therefore increasing the risks of side effects from other medications. CBD can also counteract the psychoactive effects of THC at high doses.

Our Canneuro 1000 is 1000mg of full-spectrum, hemp-derived CBD in a bottle that contains 30 mL of total product. Each bottle in the Canneuro line-up is designed to provide 60 doses via a 1mL dropper. Each dose is a half dropper and each half dropper is 1/2 mL. The Canneuro 1000 would contain approximately 17mg of CBD per dose, which is recommended 2-3x daily.

The optimum serving of CBD is completely dependent on the person. There are several factors that play a key role on how long you may feel the effects from a single serving. As a general guideline we recommend 2-3x daily—but metabolism, body mass, activity level, and severity of symptoms all play a factor and these can change daily.

For example, one of our team notices relief during the height of allergy season by using an additional serving around 2-3 PM, in addition to taking it morning and night. An extra serving after an extended workout can also be effective.

Adult servings can range anywhere from 30mg-300mg as a daily amount. The total number of milligrams/day is often broken up as more than one serving, to be split up throughout the day. We recommend that each person needs to find their own “sweet spot” when it comes to servings, for his or her own particular needs.
