Frequently asked questions
Which CBD ingredient is best for a tincture?
Isolate gives a THC-free, flavor-neutral base; broad and full spectrum distillate keep more of the plant profile. Our oil guide compares both routes.
How do I calculate mg of CBD per mL?
Divide the total milligrams of CBD in the bottle by the bottle volume in mL. Our strength guide covers per serving math and potency adjustments.
What works best in beverages?
Water soluble CBD, around 20 to 25% concentration in powder or liquid form, mixes into water-based drinks where oil-based ingredients separate.
Why does distillate crystallize?
High-purity CBD distillate can crystallize as it cools or sits. Crystal resistant distillate is formulated to stay liquid.
