Product Labels
When it comes to learning about the
CBD products you are considering or are
taking, the product label can often be
misleading and confusing for consumers.
T
he CBD industry is set for a massive growth in
the coming decade. Medical research has proven
the therapeutic benefits of cannabidiol (CBD),
ranging from neuroprotective to analgesic properties.
Moreover, CBD is one of the 100 cannabinoids
identified in the hemp plant. It has a wide range of
health benefits and is devoid of psychoactive effects.
Consequently, CBD is being widely manufactured,
promoted, and used in the form of oil, tinctures, vape
oil, and soothing salves to manage a myriad of health
issues. The rise in popularity of this cannabinoid has
encouraged manufacturers to introduce other inno-
vative forms of cannabidiol products, namely CBD
gummies and sprays. Each of these products have
labels offering information that can help people select
the right product for their health care needs. However,
most CBD consumers often find it tough to decode this
perplexing and potentially misleading information.
Read on to learn some valuable tips on deciphering
the information shared on CBD product labels, enabling
you to make an informed decision for your well-being.
