FAQs

CBD is an abbreviation of the word cannabidiol. It is one of the over 100 different molecules known as cannabinoids found in the Hemp (Cannabis sativa) plant.

Cannabinoids are compounds produced by the aerial parts of the Hemp (cannabis sativa) plant. Cannabinoids produced by plants are called phytocannabinoids while cannabinoids produced by the human body are called endocannabinoids. Cannabinoids, such as CBD, are believed to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help the body achieve homeostasis - or a state of balanced health so it can perform at its best. The ECS helps to regulate functions such as sleep, immune-system responses and pain. Plant-derived cannabinoids are believed to interact with receptors in the body to help boost the body’s ECS.

The human endocannabinoid system consists of several parts: endocannabinoids, receptors in the nervous system that endocannabinoids and cannabinoids bond with and enzymes that help break down endocannabinoids and cannabinoids. It is a natural and crucial part of the human body. Cannabinoids, such as CBD, are believed to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to help the body achieve homeostasis - or a state of balance so it can perform at its best. 

CBD is not psychoactive and it does NOT get you “high” like the psychoactive cannabinoid THC does. It is a different compound from TCH and it interacts differently with your body by helping its endocannabinoid system to use its own cannabinoids more effectively.

CBD extract oil is a natural oil which is extracted from the aerial parts (flowers and leaves) of the cannabis plant.

Hemp seed oil is produced by pressing the cannabis plant's seeds, whereas CBD oil is extracted from the plant's aerial parts or flowers. While it does not contain cannabinoids like CBD, it is known to have its own benefits as a result of being rich in omega 2 and 3's.

CBD is an oil extract from the stalks, stems and flowers of the cannabis sativa hemp plant (aerial parts) while hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of a hemp plant. Hemp seed oil does not contain CBD.  Hemp is a variety of cannabis plant and is also grown for food and fibers. Maddyn CBD is extracted from proprietary strains of hemp specifically bred to produce greater levels of CBD, other cannabinoids and terpenes.

While hemp and marijuana are both types of the cannabis plant, they are very different. Marijuana contains THC, the cannabinoid that causes a psychoactive response (we call it a "high"), which is why it is classified as a drug. Hemp, however, is very unlikely to cause a high because it contains small amounts of THC. Maddyn CBD tinctures and capsules contain 0.3% THC or less, which is the legal limit in all 50 states, while our crème is THC free.

Even though hemp is bred to minimize THC, all hemp-derived products contain some amount of THC. Maddyn’s Full Spectrum products contain 0.3% THC to meet legal requirements. This means that it is possible to test positive on a drug test. If you’re subject to a zero-tolerance drug policy at work or elsewhere, please know that some of the more sensitive drug tests can come back positive for THC. If you’re unsure about where your company stands, please ask your HR department before you buy. If your livelihood depends on it, we'd strongly advise against using our ingestible oil product.

Medical cannabis is another term for medical marijuana. Marijuana contains THC, which is a cannabinoid that causes a high. CBD is not psychotropic, meaning that it does not cause a high. It can be used while working, driving or undertaking any other physical activities such as exercise and sports.

CBD oil has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of any condition aside from particular seizure disorders. Please consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if your condition could benefit from CBD. Maddyn products have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease

Full spectrum CBD oil usually retains trace amounts of THC present from the hemp plant. It also contains contain a combination of cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial compounds found in hemp. Legally, the amount of THC must always be less than 0.3%. Maddyn does not use CBD isolate since it does not contain the other beneficial components of the hemp plant.

Similar to full spectrum CBD, the term broad spectrum refers to CBD oil products that contain a combination of cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial compounds found in hemp with no detectable THC levels. Broad spectrum oils maintain concentrations of the beneficial compounds that are found in the original hemp plant.

CBD isolates contain only the CBD molecule and no other cannabinoids, terpenes or flavonoids. Full and broad spectrum CBD, however, has a full range of cannabinoids which usually produces greater benefits from what is known as the "entourage effect". This occurs when compounds in the hemp plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, work together to produce even greater effects than CBD isolate alone. Maddyn uses both full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD and we never use isolates - because we believe the power of the hemp plant. However, organic compounds such as CBD can produce different effects in different people. Maddyn products have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease

Full and broad spectrum CBD oil contain a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes as well as other beneficial compounds. Each of these compounds are believed to have particular effects on the human body. Because terpenes can affect how the body responds to cannabinoids, the combined effect is often greater than the sum of the individual effects. The overall effect produced is known as the "entourage effect". We only offer full and broad spectrum products to capture the full benefits of the plant, and we never use CBD isolate.

Terpenes are class of volatile hydrocarbon compounds produced in the flower clusters of the cannabis plant. Terpenes are what give cannabis its distinct aromas and have been utilized by humans for thousands of years in aromatherapy.

A CBD tincture is a liquid solution that combines CBD oil with other ingredients. Our tinctures simply contain MCT oil, hemp extract CBD oil and natural mint.

After filling the dropper with the desired amount of oil, place the serving in your mouth. Hold for 30 seconds. Take a few deep breaths and then swallow.

The ideal serving size of CBD oil varies for each person and depends on a wide range of variables since everyone is different.

Maddyn products each have a stamp indicating a "best used by date." Make sure that your CBD oil products are stored properly, in airtight containers either in the refrigerator or in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

We highly recommend either refrigerating CBD products or storing them in a cool place. Always keep CBD products in airtight containers and store them away from direct sunlight and heat, which can degrade certain compounds in CBD oil.

Much more research needs to be done in this area. If you are taking prescription medications, please consult with a qualified medical professional before using any of our products.

Users often report almost immediate results. However, most of the effects of CBD are subtle and take some time to be detectable — usually half an hour or more. Every individual is unique, so results will vary.

The ideal method for taking CBD depends on the reason for which it’s being taken, as well as your preference for its format. If using CBD oil for general wellness, tinctures or capsules are recommended. Topical creams are great to use for soreness and aches caused by exercise or activity. Many report benefits from a daily ritual that combines one of our ingestible products with our topical cream. This approach may help your body’s ECS to recharge and renew while providing soothing relief in a particular area that is sore from exercise or activity. Plus, our crème is designed to be enriching for your skin, making it ideal for everyday use.
