FAQs

About CBD

What is CBD?

CBD is a naturally occurring compound that’s extracted from hemp plants. So your body can make use of it, this powerful extract is added to CBD oilsCBD capsulesCBD gummies, and  CBD balms.

What Does CBD Stand For?

CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol. (But, let’s face it: CBD is much easier to say.) It’s one of the many cannabinoids, or plant compounds, that are found in hemp.

What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are compounds found in hemp plants. The most commonly known cannabinoids include cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So far there have been over 100 cannabinoids identified and isolated from hemp plants, all of which exhibit different effects. Cannaray uses CBD isolate to ensure all our products contain zero THC, giving you a safe and reliable product to use week in week out.

Is CBD the same as Cannabis?

While CBD is derived from cannabis, CBD is just one of over 100 naturally occurring compounds found in the plant, so it’s not the same as the plant as a whole. Unlike THC, another compound found in cannabis, CBD is non-intoxicating and therefore will not cause a 'high'.

Does CBD Get You High?

No, Cannaray CBD will not get you high or cause any intoxicating effects. Cannaray's CBD is THC-free and independently lab tested for purity - and your peace of mind.

WHAT IS THC?

WHAT IS THC?

THC is another plant compound found in cannabis that is commonly associated with the intoxicating and psychoactive effects of cannabis, as well as certain medical benefits such as treatment for epilepsy. Cannaray CBD uses a pure CBD isolate extract and each product is independently lab tested to ensure our range is THC-free.

IS CBD SAFE?

Yes, CBD is safe and has been approved by the World Health Organisation since 2018 as "generally well tolerated with a good safety profile". There are plenty of blogs and reviews online from CBD users documenting how CBD fits into their daily routine.

IS CBD LEGAL?

Yes, CBD is legal in the UK. It’s only products containing THC that are not permitted and we’re pleased to say that Cannaray independently lab tests all our CBD products with an independent laboratory to ensure our products are always THC free. We publish all the lab reports on our website so you can be sure that what is stated on our products is exactly what is inside.

IS CBD A NOVEL FOOD?

CBD was recently classified as a Novel Food by the Food Standards Agency (FSA). Novel Foods are defined as food products ‘not having a significant history of consumption before May 1997’. CBD falls into this categorisation, as do some other health food items including chia seeds. 

All Cannaray CBD food supplement products have been validated by the FSA as part of their Novel Foods regulatory process, for which more information can be found on the FSA's website.

CBD Usage and Dosage

WHAT'S THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CBD TO TAKE?

As a general rule, you should start low and slow with CBD and gradually adjust your dosage, building up to find a level that works perfectly for you. We recommend not exceeding 70mg CBD per day.

Please check our guide on How to Use CBD which goes into detail for each of our products.

HOW LONG DOES CBD STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM?

The time for CBD to leave the body depends on a few factors such as age, weight, metabolism, and the type of product you use. In general, CBD stays in the body for 2-3 hours, so CBD can be taken in a single daily dose, or smaller doses at intervals throughout the day such as morning, mid-day, and night.

I'M A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE, CAN I USE CBD?

Yes, all Cannaray CBD products can be used in professional sports as they do not contain THC. Cannaray CBD is a member of the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance. CBD has also been accepted by the World Anti-Doping Agency for use in sports since 2018.

HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO TAKE CBD?

To purchase CBD you must be at least 18 years of age. If you are considering CBD for someone younger than 18 then we would recommend that you consult your local GP or a specialist in the field of CBD before use.

By completing your order and paying, you confirm that you are over 18 and agree to our Terms and Conditions of Sale and our Privacy Policy.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO STORE CBD?

The best way to store CBD oil is away from light, heat and oxygen, such as a pantry/larder or bathroom cupboard. If you are not using it regularly, you can keep it in the fridge, but if you use it every day, you can keep it at room temperature under 25 degrees.

Medical & Health

CAN I USE CBD WHILE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?

We do not recommend taking CBD products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

WHICH CBD PRODUCT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR MY CONDITION?

Unfortunately, we're unable to provide advice or guidance on using our products for medical or health conditions. We recommend speaking to your GP or pharmacist if you are interested in using CBD for a particular concern.

ARE THERE MEDICATIONS I SHOULD AVOID WHEN TAKING CBD?

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide specific advice in relation to CBD's interaction with your medication. Our advice is to always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking medication before taking CBD.

WHY DON’T YOU MAKE MEDICAL CLAIMS ABOUT CBD?

CBD is classified as a food – not a medicine – which means claims of medical benefits are not allowed by any CBD brand. You might still spot them lurking around on the internet, but officially the Food Standards Agency (FSA) doesn’t permit brands to make any claims about the medical benefits of CBD.
