Products

Trial Sizes

Many of the products we offer come in trial sizes, which is often where your CBD journey begins.

Trial sizes can be ordered via the main product pages.

Which product will work best for me?

Unfortunately, we are strictly prohibited from offering any advice because the government does not acknowledge the medicinal potential of cannabis.  If we do, the MHRA and other organisations might interpret this as marketing our oil as medicine, which is against the law.

However, what you could do is join the Facebook group Herbal Alternatives which includes qualified medical herbalists and well-informed CBD users where the use of our products can be openly discussed.

Do you test your CBD?

We pride ourselves on high-precision analytics. With the ever-changing UK and EU regulations, it is essential that you can obtain fast pace results you can trust.

We use state-of-the-art Agilent technology to ensure quantitative results of the highest accuracy with a quick turnaround time. We have the ability and methodologies to test any product containing cannabinoids. Currently testing for 10 cannabinoids (CBD-A, CBD, CBDV, CBG, CBG-A, THC-A, THC, THCV, CBN and CBC), and can also provide personalised certificates of analysis. This gives you the ability to prove traceable analytics and have a detailed record of the parameters of your product which is vital in the current CBD market.

Our results are regularly compared against an ISO-accredited laboratory to ensure the reliability of the results and method validation. We are also in the process of working towards ISO accreditation and constantly innovating to stay up to date with developing knowledge from peer-reviewed science.

Bottle lid keeps coming undone

Because of the nature of the product, if the oil gets onto the bottle’s thread, this could act as a lubricant and cause the top of the bottle to undo.  We advise that you clean the thread thoroughly on the bottle and the lid to prevent this from happening.  Also, once opened, the bottle must always be stored upright.

How do I store the oil?

Please ensure that the oil is always kept upright, in a cool dark place when not in use.

Can I travel with this oil?

Due to the nature of the product, some countries’ border forces may consider it to be cannabis oil and, as such seize the product and or you, so we advise against it.

Drug testing

Please be aware that some of our products do contain trace amounts of THC, which means they can test positive in a workplace or roadside drug test. 

It should be clear from a urine or blood test that there are high levels of CBD rather than THC, but this depends on the calibre of the testing equipment used.  If you believe this might in any way affect your ability to pass a drug test or jeopardise your employment, you should either talk to your employer about it or stop using the products. 

In the event that someone fails a drug test, CBD Brothers is not responsible.

Medicine interaction

The FSA have advised that consumers who take prescribed medication should not take CBD without discussing this with a medical practitioner.

Please allow 2 hours between taking pharmaceutical medication and our CBD products.

There is a forum on Facebook you could try and join, “Herbal Alternatives” which includes qualified medical herbalists and well-informed CBD users where the use of our products can be openly discussed.

Cannabis Interactions Checker – Drugs.com – Here is a drug interaction website.

Please do not take if pregnant or breastfeeding.

How much should I take?

It is difficult to give guidance because of how people interact with the extracts, so we typically advise that people start slowly and build up over time. 

Oil: Use two to three drops sublingually for ten to fourteen days, then add one more drop until you reach the right dosage for you.

Capsules: Start with a 50mg dose and increase if needed after 5 days.

Whole Plant Extract (Paste): We advise using one rice grain sized amount and rubbing it into your gums to allow the cannabinoids to be absorbed into the body.

Please allow 2 hours between taking pharmaceutical medication and our CBD products.
