Love Hemp, Your Way.
As you may have seen, we recently launched a Limited Edition CBD Box - everything a JOMO Box should be, just with a CBD twist. This is to support members as they embark on their CBD journey for the first time or indeed for those who already enjoy CBD and are keen to explore high quality, CBD products.
We also recently hosted a poll to find out who would be interested in CBD and who wouldn’t. 64% of respondents said they were interested in CBD which got us thinking.
It got us thinking about two things:
64% is a strong response. We don’t know what the exact figures would have been two years ago, but we have a sneaky suspicion they wouldn’t have looked like that.
What was the reason for the remaining respondents answering ‘not interested’? Was it due to trying CBD previously? Interfering medications? Or was it uncertainty and unfamiliarity?
Over the past month, we have done some digging - asking our nearest and dearest about their CBD knowledge and it has supported our suspicions on the poll results. It turns out there were a lot gaps and uncertainty around what CBD is and what it can be used for.
So, let us start with the basics.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol and is the non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. It is starting to gain momentum in the health and wellness world with scientific studies confirming it may ease symptoms of ailments such as chronic pain and anxiety, being backed for its calming effects.
It has typically been labelled as a natural remedy and can appeal to those who want to avoid excess manufactured compounds, plus it is one of the world’s most sustainable plants!
Why hemp is a sustainable plant?
It breathes in 4x more carbon dioxide than trees with every part having its use - from seed to stalk to leaf. No herbicides or pesticides are needed and it replenishes the soil with more nutrients than it uses itself.
Despite CBD being early in its journey, there are six benefits backed by science:
Pain relief
Reduction of anxiety and depression
Can alleviate cancer related symptoms
May reduce acne
Might have neuroprotective properties
Could benefit heart health
If you are looking into CBD for the first time or indeed if you take CBD regularly, there is one thing for certain, you want to trust the CBD brand!
Love Hemp are the UK’s leading, multi-award winning CBD brand, having recently won “Best CBD Brand UK 2020” by Beauty Shortlist and “UK’s Leading CBD Brand 2020” by Global Health and Pharma.
Love Hemp’s mission has evolved far beyond being a high-quality CBD brand, but they are now a lifestyle and wellness company with a strong ethos for promoting natural life improvement.
So, where do I begin and what CBD product is right for me?
Love Hemp’s range is made up of ingestible oils and sprays, edibles and topicals.
Love Hemp’s CEO, Tony Calamita provides some insight, ‘There is something that caters for every need, but in most cases I recommend starting with an ingestible CBD oil or capsule. These should be used as a core product for getting the daily dose of CBD. Edibles are great for convenience and on the go. For those not comfortable taking an oil at the beginning and needing a more enjoyable or familiar way of consuming a food supplement. We also have a body salve which is popular as a muscle rub for sore joints or bruises but also for irritated skin. CBD is very versatile and has a wide array of uses for the every day. We are hearing of something new it has worked wonders for every day.’
Not only have Love Hemp gone from a bedroom start up selling exclusively online, to the UK’s leading CBD brand, but Love Hemp have received significant backing recently from the likes of Anthony Joshua who has come on board as a strategic partner and key investor. Calamita states ‘having an endorsement from the likes of AJ gives credibility and validation to Love hemp but also the entire CBD industry. It’s so important because as an industry we are still fighting for universal acceptance of our products and washing away the negative stigma that has been built around cannabis over the last few decades’.
Love Hemp’s resident scientific advisors answer your FAQs
With CBD still new for many, Love Hemp have resident scientific advisors on hand to answer all your questions.
We wanted to know what the most common question was for new CBD users which turned out to be, ’How much CBD should I take?’ CBD dosing can be very individual and dosage recommendations is not a one size fits all. Various factors such as bodyweight and even digestive health can play a role in how much CBD you need for an optimal dose. Love Hemp recommend starting with 10mg a day and building up to 50-70mg per day over the course of one to two weeks.
CBD has gone through significant change and growth over the past few years. It is continuing to grow in awareness and build in traction as the benefits are experienced daily and the negative stigma slowly erodes. The health and wellness space have seen the launch of hundreds of new products and product types to introduce CBD into your day in an effortless, delicious and educated way.
