Frequently Asked Questions

CBD is an acronym for cannabidiol which is one of the major cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Elixinol CBD is produced from industrial hemp and extracted using a CO2 extraction process.

As a global provider of CBD/Hemp Products, Elixinol sell in over 50 countries worldwide.In Europe and the UK products are required to have below 0.01% THC levels to be legally sold. We have Certificates of Analysis that show all our products are well under this limit.

Elixinol grows industrial hemp as it is naturally high in CBD and low in THC. We believe in giving you the benefits of the plant without the psychoactive effects. Healthy not high!

No, Elixinol does not use hemp from China. All our hemp is organically grown and processed in choice locations in Northern Europe.

A full-spectrum CBD extract is wholesome and not synthetic. In other words, it’s taken from the hemp plant, not created in a lab to mimic cannabidiol.

The extraction methods used to create isolates typically involve the use of toxic chemicals like acetone or butane. We believe in keeping the plant as naturally intact as possible.

Full-Spectrum means that all the nutritive parts of the hemp plant are distilled into a pure, potent extract. Instead of using harsh chemical processes to isolate and extract only the cannabidiol, a full-spectrum extract gently preserves the entire “entourage” of components naturally present in hemp:

Over 85 cannabinoids, More than 500 phytonutrients, Terpenes, Flavonoids, Antioxidants and Essential oils.

CBD works in the body by activating receptors in the brain and nervous system – the endocannabinoid system (ECS). It affects different receptors to THC and affects many receptors which are responsible for the regulation of many parts of the body’s systems.

The Endocannabinoid system is a biological system of receptors and neurotransmitters found throughout the brains and nervous systems of all mammals. The ECS is the largest biological system of receptors in the body. Endocannabinoids and the receptors they bind to exist throughout the body in the Nervous System, Glands, Immune Cells, Stomach, Organs, The Brain and Connective Tissues. The ECS can aid in the regulation of homeostasis across all the major physiological systems ensuring they are all working in harmony together and creating balance.

The simple answer is No – CBD is non-psychoactive, non-addictive and your body does not build up a tolerance.

CBD can be extracted from hemp using a number of methods. Elixinol uses a completely organic plant and extracts CBD and a full spectrum of other cannabinoids using a specialized CO2 extraction process. Other CBD suppliers use chemical extraction which leaves behind other essential cannabinoids which we believe reduces the effectiveness of CBD.

A “Tincture” is a substance suspended or dissolved in another liquid. Our Tinctures come in two flavours Natural or Cinnamint. Both are made with our full-spectrum Hemp Oil mixed with MCT Coconut Oil, with the Cinnamint having extracts of Cinnamon and Peppermint.

MCT oil is a liquid fat produced by refining raw coconut or palm oil. This process removes and concentrates the MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) naturally found in the source material and provides more of the benefits specific to MCTs (increased ketone production, metabolism, and mental clarity) We use MCT oil to help with absorption in the body, gives a longer product shelf life and we believe it improves the taste of our oil.

Our CBD capsules contain full-spectrum hemp oil, MCT Coconut oil and purified water in a Vegan friendly capsule.

Our blended capsules are made with our micro-encapsulated CBD powder not oil. This is more bioavailable meaning you need a smaller mg content than our traditional forms of delivery. They are also mixed with different combinations of Vitamins & Minerals.

As a lipid (fat) soluble molecule, CBD needs lipids to effectively access the endocannabinoid system. With our Liposomes, we cocoon CBD in a lipid solution – allowing your body to access cannabinoids as easily as it can water. You can take under the tongue or add to water.

The CBD dosage will vary for each person. We always recommend you follow the serving suggestion on all our products. This is a good starting point and you can always take more or less depending how your ECS responds and you how feel.
