Hemp Seed Oil and CBD, Different Benefits.

Often confused and sometimes marketed as the same product, these are two totally different supplements that have different health benefits.

Both Hemp Seed Oil and Full Spectrum CBD have multiple health benefits. Although both come from the same plant, both are different and both benefit the body in different ways.

Some companies will add to the confusion by marketing these products as if they were the same thing. Be aware that Hemp Seed Oil (Hemp Oil) is NOT the same as Full Spectrum Hemp or CBD. Although Hemp Seed Oil has many health benefits it is a fraction of the cost of Full Spectrum Hemp CBD and is made purely of Hemp Seeds.

Full Spectrum Hemp Oil contains dozens of cannabinoids. The most abundant cannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD). CBD makes up over 90% of the cannabinoid content in Full Spectrum Hemp. Make sure before you make a purchase you understand the terminology. Also look for COA's. A credible CBD company will have their Certificates of Analysis results available to verify that the advertised CBD on the label matches its product content.
