FIRST IT WAS VITAMIN D, THEN IT WAS TURMERIC.
THIS YEAR’S SUPER SUPPLEMENT SPOTLIGHT
IS ON THE LEGAL CANNABIS EXTRACT, CBD OILhe fastest growing supplement
in the USA, CBD oil has all
the makings of the next super
supplement. The USA tends to lead
the way with health trends and was
one of the first countries to classify CBD
oil as a nutritional supplement, after
significant scientific research
developments. In fact, the market is
expected to grow by 700% and be worth
$2.1 billion by 2020.
WHAT IS CBD?
W hen it comes to CBD oil the first thing
you’ll want to know is where it sits in
relation to the words cannabis, hemp
and marijuana.
The hemp and marijuana plants are both
types of cannabis. W hat makes them
completely different is their ingredients –
specifically CBD and THC. The ingredient
CBD (otherwise known as cannabidiol) is
a natural extract of the hemp plant that ’s
non-intoxicating and void of any
psychoactive inducing properties.It’s also the ingredient that’s been
widely researched in the USA for its
health benefits. The ingredient THC,
that is abundant in the marijuana plant,
is responsible for the so-called high
that ’s associated with cannabis.
WHAT DOES CBD OIL DO?
Increasingly, countries worldwide are
researching the benefits of CBD oil.
Fortunately, UK supplement retailers
operate in a heavily regulated industry
that leaves no room for misleading
promises. Part of this legislation means
that brands are only able to make health
claims for products that have been
approved within the EU register.
Being an ingredient that ’s new to the UK,
CBD oil is yet to have health claims
approved, however supplement brands
can legally sell it.Is CBD oil now mainstream?

It is legal to buy and sell CBD oil in
the UK, the only restrictions are on
brands communicating benefits
of taking the product. CBD oil is
extremely well tolerated with few
side effects. A new report from
the World Health Organisation
(WHO) on CBD oil suggests cannabis
oil to be mostly well-tolerated,
with a good safety profile.A TRUSTED SOURCE
Like any supplement, sourcing
a product that contains quality
ingredients is essential. Healthspan
sources their CBD oil from regulated
industrial hemp fields in Europe,
