Collection: CBD Oil

The CBD market is booming. However, the search for a good CBD oil is complicated by many factors – starting with the names and different terms such as full spectrum oil, broad spectrum oil, hemp oil, hemp seed oil, CBD content, CBD concentration, the different extraction processes and the promises of possible effects. ALPINOLS, on the other hand, attaches great importance to providing information on the subject of cannabidiol (CBD) and transparency regarding the origin and manufacture of CBD products.

The hemp plant contains numerous valuable components such as cannabinoids and terpenes. The hemp plant also contains flavonoids. These are secondary plant substances which, as antioxidants, can render free radicals harmless.

ALPINOLS pursues the goal of making high-quality hemp products accessible to everyone. Thanks to its many years of experience in organic farming and the cultivation of hemp plants, ALPINOLS produces organic CBD products of the highest quality. In order to guarantee this, the hemp plants are harvested by hand and modern, gentle and sustainable processing methods are used. Each product batch is then analyzed in-house and in an independent laboratory to ensure quality.

The THC content of our full spectrum oils is less than 0.2 percent. The THC content of Broadspectrum oils is below the detection limit (< 0.05%) and is therefore not detectable in the oil.

Initially, there is no difference in the way full-spectrum oil and broad-spectrum oil are produced. The CBD extracts are obtained using CO₂ extraction. This environmentally friendly and gentle extraction method is used to extract not only the cannabidiol (CBD), but also other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids from the hemp plant. This means that the CBD oil contains the entire valuable spectrum of the plant. The CBD extract for the full-spectrum oil is then dissolved in a carrier oil (organic sunflower seed oil or MCT oil).

A further step is necessary for the production of the THC-free product. A modern separation process called flash chromatography is used to gently remove the THC while retaining the other valuable ingredients of the hemp plant. The extract is then dissolved in a carrier oil.

Users can benefit from the entourage effect with both full-spectrum oil and broad-spectrum oil. The term entourage effect comes from cannabis research and means that the entire spectrum of ingredients (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, etc.) from the hemp plant can have a synergistic effect. This means that the ingredients complement each other in their effect. In contrast, this effect does not occur when using a single substance from the plant (e.g. CBD isolate).

When dosing CBD oils, it should be borne in mind that every organism reacts differently. A general recommendation is to start with a full-spectrum oil that has a low CBD content. After taking two to three drops of CBD oil, you should wait and see. If there is no desired effect, the dose can be increased the next day.

It is important for users to approach this slowly. This is because a CBD oil with a high CBD content does not automatically mean that the effect will be better or stronger. It therefore usually takes time for users to find the right dosage with the right CBD content for them.
