CBD Supplements

Nordic Oil CBD vitamins have a unique liposomal formula, and use cannabidiol (CBD) to boost your wellbeing and health. Our liposomal CBD vitamin formulas help to protect the quality of the contained substances ensuring that the good stuff reaches you, rather than being lost during digestion. The CBD in our vitamins is protected by liposomes to avoid breakdown by the enzymes when passing through the digestive system.

Although the market demand for supplements is widespread, there is no universal accord on categorizing products into supplements, natural health products, dietary supplements, or food supplements. That is because of the differences in the legal regulatory framework in every country.

For example, a product recognized as a dietary supplement in one country might be classified as a “controlled substance” in another country. So we intend to support consumers the best we can to make informed decisions.

At Nordic Oil, our commitment to establishing awareness, educating people, and making CBD more accessible is at the forefront of our ethos and resonates in our high-quality and innovative products.

We recommend taking some time to research, understand and make informed decisions while buying Nordic Oil CBD products.

Below is a more detailed summary of CBD supplements.

What are supplements?

Supplements are products intended to supplement our nutritional needs, independent of food. The nutritional requirement for individuals varies depending on gender, age, occupation, metabolism, health conditions, and more. 

So we are often asking ourselves:  how many nutrients does the body require? How much of this amount is already supplied by the food we eat? How much is actually getting absorbed by the body? 

These questions give us a hint about the gap between what is needed by the body, but often not supplied in healthy quantities. Thus supplements can help to bridge the gap and provide essential nutrients, in order to correct deficiencies and help the body to remain healthy. 

Examples of supplements

Dietary supplements designed for oral consumption come in varieties of easily consumable forms, such as; capsules, tablets, oils, chewables, powders, syrups, nutrition bars, and more.

Besides dietary supplements, there are also other supplements that are absorbed through distinct routes of administration, in order to supply nutrients for a more specific purpose. Examples are nasal sprays, eye drops, creams, patches, and more.

In general, the role of these supplements is to provide macro, micro, and phytonutrients. Proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, and amino acids all belong to this category. 

What are herbal supplements?

Products derived from plants and herbs such as oils, seeds, roots, flowers, and berries are generally called herbal supplements. With CBD there is a range of offerings, whether they are Full Spectrum CBD oil, Broad Spectrum CBD oil or Isolate form. At Nordic Oil, our hemp comes from the organically grown aerial parts of the hemp plant. The culinary and therapeutic significance of herbs in our daily diet is recognized more of late due to developments in products and ample time at home.

Supplements made of herbs that contain vitamins and minerals are available in the form of capsules, oils, extracts, tinctures, concentrates, and liquids. 

What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol is one of the many plant compounds naturally present in the cannabis and hemp plant. At Nordic Oil, we source our organic hemp from greenhouses in Nevada, and Colorado. Our hemp undergoes a CO2 extraction to create our CBD products. Depending on the CBD product, we determine the amount of cannabinoids selected to make the hemp extract. We regularly test our CBD products for quality with third party labs to review our products, and ensure that they contain the correct amounts of CBD and THC. At Nordic Oil we always keep our THC levels under 0.3% to remain federally compliant, and for our customer's safety.

Cannabinoids are chemically active plant compounds. Many plants contain cannabinoids naturally. However, the term cannabinoid is commonly associated with only one type of plant- the cannabis plant. The Cannabis sativa plant, also known as hemp is where we derive our CBD (cannabidiol). Cannabidiol is one of the most popularized and well-researched cannabinoids.

So far, research has led to the discovery of more than 500 natural chemical ingredients from cannabis. Yet less than one hundred cannabinoids have actually been identified. Among them, CBD and THC are the most commonly known. It is important to consider that because of this, there is still a lot of knowledge to be gained from unidentified plant compounds. 

Other valuable plant compounds from the cannabis plant, which have already been identified and researched, include THC, CBN, THCV, CBG, CBC, CBL, and many more. 

Each of these cannabinoids possesses different qualities due to their distinct chemical structures, of which THC and CBD are the most extensively studied. THC has been studied for possible medicinal properties due to its psychoactive properties or intoxicating effects when consumed in high quantities. Unlike THC, CBD does not exhibit psychoactive effects, because of its molecular structures, which are aligned differently. 

Is CBD natural?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Today, CBD is gaining more attention and a positive reputation in various markets and areas of research. Marijuana varieties from the Cannabis Indica plant have higher quantities of THC when compared to CBD. Most states allow for the sales of CBD, mainly from the hemp plant as long as the THC level is below the threshold of 0.3%.

When should I take vitamins?

The main objective of including supplements in your daily routine may be to fill in the nutritional gap that your regular diet fails to provide. This approach is best for safety and efficacy in diet, and may result in a more nutritional approach to foods. Similarly, people recovering from an injury, health issue, or surgery may need to boost their nutrient intake by incorporating high doses of vitamins and supplementary nutrition.

However, in order to attain these objectives and gain the associated benefits, one’s supplemental intake must be effectively absorbed by the body. Digestive processes, for example, could eliminate the nutrients before they are absorbed by the body. 

In this respect, determining the most effective time for taking vitamins is also essential. Taking certain vitamins could work best on an empty stomach, while others after a meal, for example

In general, taking them as directed and recommended on the label of the product is a safe practice. Additionally, consultations with a medical advisor may help to best establish an appropriate routine and dosage for your intake. 

Why do we need supplements?

• Studies have shown that the association between food and the functioning of the brain is critical. This is due to nutrients that help our brain to function properly and, on the other hand, combat mental health conditions, including depression, stress, and mood swings. Therefore the benefits of vitamins are widespread and can lend to both physical as well as mental health needs. 
• Some people may be lacking in nutrition due to their lifestyle choice. For example, unhealthy eating habits, unbalanced diet plans, vegan diets, or those who are allergic to certain food groups may miss out on key nutrients. Taking vitamins could therefore be beneficial in such cases.
• Age and gender are also contributing factors for incorporating vitamins into your diet. As we age, the rate of absorption slows down and may result in a nutritional imbalance. There are also differences in nutritional requirements for men and women.
• Due to increased use of harmful chemicals and pesticides in plants, the quality of food and the soil has been affected. These chemicals cause damage to our immune system. Intake of additional vitamins and minerals helps to reduce this damage, and to support as well as strengthen our immune system.

Is it safe to take CBD every day?

Considering the safety profile of CBD, there are few possible adverse effects associated with incorporating CBD into your everyday self care routine. As always, it is best to consult your medical physician if you are currently prescribed medication, as CBD does negatively interact with certain prescribed medicines. 

If you are a beginner, starting with a low dose and increasing gradually is always the safest route. You can then moderate your dosage as needed, according to how your body responds. 

Once you begin using CBD,  you may journal to observe notable changes and try to find answers to these two questions: 

• Which forms of CBD work best for me and my lifestyle?
• What dose of CBD is my body able to absorb or tolerate each day?

If you choose to take CBD vitamins in the form of multivitamin liquids, then you may, if necessary modify your dosage accordingly, once you have finished your first bottle. Any increases in dosage should however be discussed with a physician. 

On-the-go CBD like CBD Chewing Gum can easily be adapted into part of your daily routine as well.

Keep in mind that vitamin deficiencies could lead to chronic conditions, therefore maintaining a balanced multivitamin intake is essential for wellbeing. 

There is nothing quite like a balanced and nutritious diet, an active lifestyle, and a happy state of mind for one’s best health. The evidence of living in good health speaks for itself, however getting there does take mindfulness. In this respect, vitamins can be considered as a bonus to a healthy meal. 

Which supplement is the right one for me?

The health market today is flooded with options for quick fixes to your health. Choosing the right product, and CBD, might be an overwhelming process, and requires discernment. Being informed on clinical trials for various substances such as pills or diet mixes may be the safest route to regaining a connection to the body.

When it comes to taking vitamins, adopting a personalized approach could provide the most benefits. Evidence of the potential effectiveness of CBD, or any other vitamin is best measured when consistency is applied to your routine. It might help to map out your current lifestyle habits and daily activities. This may aid in analyzing your dietary needs, and clarify any influences caused by specific problems or injuries. 

Remember to include known deficiencies, especially those related to your skin, sleeping troubles, allergies, immunity, hair health, appetite, energy levels, and bone health. You may add more to the list if required. With this information clearly defined it will become easier to set your health goals. 

This personalized approach is your starting tool kit to attain good health. Take medical advice from your personal needs into consideration to best determine the recommended daily intake of vitamins.
