In amongst all the trend-led features and cure-all claims of CBD, it can be tough to find the truth. Not only in terms of what CBD can help with, but in which brands can be trusted to offer products that deliver.

There are lots of claims about CBD products that may seem too good to be true, but CBD does in fact have the ability to affect many different aspects of life, and the human body. This is because most cannabinoids, CBD included, are pleiotropic[1] – boasting multiple mechanisms via a variety of molecular pathways. What’s more, it’s effects are biphasic[2] (meaning it might have one effect at a lower dose and another at a higher dose) and adaptogenic. There’s even evidence to suggest that CBD may work differently in the body depending on the unique needs of the user[3].

But regardless of these facts, not all CBD is made equal – you’re only going to experience the potential of CBD, free from side effects, with products that are science-backed, high quality and ideally paired with ingredients that enhance its effects and absorbability. So, how do you know which brand to trust and ultimately buy from?

Regulation Compliant

There are plenty of CBD brands to choose from, but not many that can boast full compliance with UK CBD regulations, like Manuka Pharm. While the regulations are frequently updated to assist with the safe expansion of the rapidly growing CBD market, it’s important to choose a brand who both understands and adheres to the rules. These have been designed to keep consumers safe in the knowledge that they’re buying a product that contains legal limits of controlled cannabinoids (like THC) and is free from harmful contaminants, such as pesticides, heavy metals and solvents, which can easily make their way into products if not produced properly.

Made by Experts

If you’ve got access to hemp, it’s not hard to make a basic CBD oil – but will it ever be as good as a CBD product created by experts in the field? Unlikely.

When it comes to the Manuka Pharm CBD line, you can rest assured that their team know how to develop incredible products, not only by using pure CBD isolate extracted in premium lab facilities, but by including propriety blends of supporting ingredients that enhance the overall effects.

Supporting Ingredients

More on those supporting ingredients: Manuka honey is a favourite, of course, hailed for its remarkable therapeutic properties. But alongside that Manuka Pharm have also included an impressive range of botanical ingredients (like ginger, turmeric, chamomile and French lavender) and essential vitamins that contribute to the maintenance of a healthy body.

Other additions in their topicals are what’s known as ‘permeation enhancers’. These assist in the absorption of active ingredients, like CBD, for deep penetration into every layer of the skin, and even into muscles and joints.

A Trusted Brand

Since CBD rose to fame, literally thousands of brands have appeared on the scene claiming to have the very best CBD oil money can buy. While most brands are all relatively new to the creation and use of CBD products, due to an explosion of research in recent years, newbie companies are unlikely to have the experience or expertise behind them to develop the high level of CBD products you deserve.

As a well-established, global brand Manuka Pharm’s years of experience are hard to compete with. That, combined with a passion to always bring the very best products to the market for their loyal customers means Manuka Pharm is a CBD range you can trust.
