Will CBD Work for Me?

With CBD products flooding the market, many people feel a lot of skepticism - what's the difference between these products? Does CBD work? Will CBD even work for me? Is CBD just a placebo effect?

Although formal studies on CBD and its impact on the body is still in its infancy, mountains of anecdotal evidence suggest that many consumers are finding increased quality of life by adding CBD to their lifestyle.

One independent study showed that out of 2,000 participants, 33% had used CBD, and of these consumers nearly 70% found CBD to be effective. We want to support you in answering this very important question, and are providing free resources to help you evaluate if CBD is a good fit for your body and lifestyle.

We have created free trackers that can help you evaluate the efficacy of CBD for you across the 3 most common reasons we see people gravitating towards CBD:

1. increased rest and relaxation
2. muscle soreness, injury and recovery
3. clearer skin/enhanced overall vitality

We hope these tools will help you to assess the proper role of CBD in your life, allowing you to answer the question once and for all of "will CBD work for me?"

A 2018 report by the World Health Organization states that "while the number of studies is limited, the evidence from well controlled human experimental research indicates that CBD is not associated with abuse potential." Additionally, "across a number of controlled and open label trials CBD of the potential therapeutic effects of CBD it is generally well tolerated, with a good safety profile."

The most important thing to remember when it comes to the safety of CBD is that it is not currently a regulated product, so you need to do your due diligence when it comes to verifying label claims. In 2019, the FDA tested 41 cosmetic products marketed containing CBD. Of these, only 14 specified the amount of CBD that were contained in their products. Of these 14 products, 8 contained "less than 80% of the CBD amount indicated" according to the FDA's report. Only four of the 14 products contained within 20% of the CBD amount listed, and two products had more than 120% of the CBD listed. In 68 cosmetics that claimed to contain hemp oils, testing revealed that they "did not contain any measurable cannabinoids."
