A lot of people are apprehensive about using CBD products because they think they’re the same thing as marijuana.  If that’s you, we have good news: Our Nature’s Ultra CBD is sourced from hemp, not marijuana.

Let’s talk about how the two plants are different!

Hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the cannabis plant, but they differ in the amount of THC and CBD they contain.  THC is the intoxicating compound in cannabis that causes the euphoric side effects commonly associated with marijuana.  On the other hand, CBD is not intoxicating and does not cause euphoria.

Marijuana contains high amounts of THC and low amounts of CBD, while hemp contains higher amounts of CBD and low amounts of THC. That’s why CBD products that are sourced from hemp and contain less than 0.3 percent of THC are legal in most places, while products that are sourced from marijuana and contain 0.3 percent THC or MORE are not.

To create our Nature’s Ultra products, we source our pure, potent CBD from high-quality hemp.  We isolate it from the plant using a proprietary extraction method, and we test it rigorously to ensure that it contains 0.0 percent THC.  Best of all, every Nature’s Ultra CBD product meets our Seed to Seal quality commitment.  You can rest easy knowing that you’re using the highest quality CBD on the market!
