Taking a liquid CBD preparation orally is one of the most common ways to use CBD. But as you browse the aisles and consider buying a liquid CBD product, you will soon realize: there are many, many options. Really, though, these options boil down to a couple of different types of products. If you understand what those basic types of liquid CBD products are, then you'll be much better equipped to buy the right one for you.

Pure CBD Oil

This is the simplest of liquid CBD products. It's just CBD—which has been extracted from hemp—suspended in a carrier oil. Usually, the carrier oil is either coconut oil, hemp seed oil, or almond oil. CBD oil comes in different concentrations. If you see a 1000 mg CBD oil, then you know there are 1000 mg of CBD in that bottle.

Hemp Oil

Hemp oil is very similar to CBD oil, but instead of just containing CBD, it also contains other compounds that were extracted from the hemp. Some of these compounds are other cannabinoids, like CBN and CBG. Others are compounds called terpenes, which are what give hemp its scent and flavor. These compounds can work together to give you a stronger effect than CBD would give you on its own.

CBD Tincture

People often confuse CBD oil with CBD tinctures, but the two products are quite different. In CBD oil, the CBD is dissolved in oil. But in CBD tincture, the CBD is dissolved in alcohol. It's important to pay attention to which one you buy since you use the two products differently. While you can swallow CBD oil directly, it is best to use a tincture by placing it under your tongue. The alcohol allows it to be quickly absorbed into your bloodstream, taking quick action. Tincture is therefore a good choice for people who need fast relief from their CBD. Those who take CBD for its energizing properties often like tinctures.

Full-Spectrum CBD Tincture

If you see either full-spectrum CBD tincture or full-spectrum hemp tincture, these are the same thing. They both contain all of the active compounds from hemp suspended in alcohol. A full-spectrum tincture can be a smart choice if you want anxiety relief from CBG or sleep benefits from CBN.
