Читать книгу CBD For Dummies - Blair Lauren Brown - Страница 85

Like with anything new, you must pay attention and be responsible for anything you’re introducing into your routines. Currently, CBD isn’t part of a regulated market (much like supplements in general) so knowing whether you’re getting what you think you are is hard. (That’s why knowing what to buy, how to read labels, and so forth is important; I cover those topics in Chapter 6.)

CBD is an option from the natural product marketplace. Natural products are always subject to variables — in the sun, in the soil, in the conditions in which they’re grown and harvested (which can impact their chemical makeups). Acknowledging the variables in the product space makes acknowledging the variances in how different products may affect you.

If you’re supplementing, you must be aware of all the other things you may encounter: reactions and side effects to just through repeated use. For instance, I have used coconut oil and MCT oil (a supplement made from medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat) for at least ten years, on and off, in recipes. When I started supplementing with CBD, I consumed at least 1.5 milliliters of MCT oil daily for over two years. At some point, I noticed a little scratchy feeling in my throat. I had developed a minor allergy to the MCT oil, which I was able to uncover by testing CBD in other carrier oils.
