What is CBD Oil?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural plant compound found in hemp and is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp flower that are extracted to make CBD oil. Unlike THC, it’s non-psychoactive, so you won’t feel “high.” CBD oil blends this extract with a carrier oil such as organic olive oil or MCT oil for easy use.
Kyoto Botanicals makes THC-free broad-spectrum CBD oil, giving you a full suite of beneficial plant compounds (cannabinoids, terpens, favanoids) without THC. Every batch of our CBD tinctures is USDA-certified organic and third-party tested.
How CBD Oil Works in Your Body
Your body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that helps maintain balance in mood, sleep, immune function, and recovery. CBD helps support this system, helping you feel calm, centered, and well-balanced. For athletes and active lifestyles, CBD may also help support exercise recovery by helping ease post-workout stress and soreness.
Choosing a Quality CBD Tincture
- Organic certification: USDA-certified ensures clean farming and no synthetic additives.
- Carrier oils: Organic olive oil and MCT oil are top choices for absorption and taste.
- THC-free broad-spectrum: Get the benefits of hemp compounds without the high.
- Lab testing: Always review Certificates of Analysis (COAs).
