CBD Tinctures: What Your Need to Know Before You Buy

Experts everywhere recommend using CBD for all sorts of reasons. But where do you start? With so many different iterations, strengths, and forms of CBD, it’s easy to get frustrated when it comes to finding the right kind. From oils, to honey, to gummies, your average CBD user is spoiled for choice.

One of the most popular forms of CBD is called a tincture. Let’s walk through what a tincture really is, how it compares to other forms, and all of the basics you need to know in order to make the right choice for your purchase. Let’s start by explaining the difference between a tincture and an oil, two forms that are often confused.

FAQ’s

CBD Tincture vs. CBD Oil - What’s the Difference?

CBD tinctures and oils are two of the most common methods for taking CBD. While they may sound like they’re worlds apart, they’re actually remarkably similar.

Let’s start with CBD oil. CBD oil is created by extracting pure CBD oil from the plant that CBD comes from, hemp. Hemp is similar to marijuana in almost everything except for its active ingredient. Hemp contains only a negligible amount of THC (or even none at all), which is the chemical that can make you feel “high” or euphoric. Instead, hemp is CBD-dominant. CBD does not make you high, and is the only active ingredient in hemp.

CBD oil is considered the most “pure” form of CBD, and as such, the most potent. People very rarely consume straight CBD oil; instead, they’ll vape it or bake it into something with a fat content like cookies or brownies. Taking pure CBD oil orally is not recommended, as it can taste pretty bitter and oily.

A CBD tincture, by contrast, can be thought of as CBD oil that’s been dressed up for a party. In a tincture, the CBD oil has been dissolved and then suspended in a carrier oil, such as hemp seed oil or MCT. ZenLeaf offers a full range of CBD tinctures for you to enjoy.

Do pure CBD tinctures have THC in them?

No. A verified pure CBD tincture will be rid of all THC, even trace amounts. This is because it’s typically made from an isolate, which means that the CBD is chemically isolated from THC at the molecular level during its production. ZenLeaf CBD tinctures are a Pure CBD isolate for the most pure CBD experience money can buy.

It’s important to note here that some products will be mislabeled, claiming to be “pure” when they actually aren’t. Buying from ZenLeaf Health guarantees that the label on your product is 100% accurate.

What are the health benefits of using CBD tinctures?

There are plenty! Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD usage is recommended for a variety of health benefits.

Of course, you should never use CBD tinctures in place of a traditionally prescribed medication without first consulting your doctor. CBD has many benefits, but it has not been proven to cure any disorder.

You should also speak with your doctor before using CBD if you are currently taking other medication. While CBD is generally considered a fairly safe and inert compound, you should still get all of the information before making your purchase.

Are there side effects of CBD usage?

When taking any medicinal substance, there can be side effects to consider. Thankfully, with CBD, the side effects are fairly mild. Some users report feeling fatigued or sometimes even having diarrhea when CBD tinctures. In general, there should be very few noticeable side effects. If you begin to experience severe side effects, stop your CBD use immediately and call your doctor.

CBD Tincture Flavors

One of the best things about CBD is the fact that, once it is extracted, it becomes fairly inert. When something is inert, it means it does not actively react with most other chemicals. As a result, CBD is infusable into almost anything, from protein shakes, to honey, to tinctures.
