How to Best Use Broad Spectrum CBD for Benefits

November 30, 2021 · Leave a Comment

REVIEW of Vitaldiol Essential Tincture a broad-spectrum CBD, and the benefits of a Broad Spectrum CBD, also called Cannabidiol.

Vitaldiol Essential Tincture is an all-natural Broad Spectrum CBD in a healthy Olive Oil base. Together they work to deliver a pure, effective formulation for wellness.

Vitaldiol Essential Tincture

Vitaldiol Essential Tincture

There are several Cannabidiol products available, but not all of them use natural ingredients. Not sure what to look for in a CBD tincture? Read what we like about Vitaldiol Essential Tincture.

What Makes Vitaldiol Essential Tincture CBD Special

Vitaldiol is a natural formulation that contains 900 mg of broad-spectrum CBD. This offers several wellness benefits for stress, anti-inflammatory pain relief, and better sleep.

Broad Spectrum CBD Benefits

Broad-spectrum has all the compound benefits of Hemp’s best cannabinoids with the least potential of side effects.

Broad Spectrum Cannabidiol also contains helpful, non-psychoactive cannabinoids and nutrients such as:

  • CBN enables restful sleep without a groggy hangover [1] and is used for inflammatory pain relief [2]. Many prefer it to melatonin. But CBN is difficult to extract so it is mostly available in Broad Spectrum CBD.
  • CBG
  • CBC
  • Flavonoids
  • Terpenes
  • Plus Omegas and Vitamin D[3] to give skin a lovely glow!

Broad Spectrum CBD contains negligible traces of THC. THC is the cannabinoid that is associated with the altered high. This formulation does not have the risk of feeling altered or getting “high”.

Transparency over Independent Lab Testing

It is dual lab tested and produced at a GMP-certified facility.

Vitaldiol makes their Certificate of Analysis available on their website here.

What I especially like about Vitaldiol Essential Tincture is their Certificate of Analysis shows independent lab testing found the THC levels to be “ND” or non-detectible. Non-detectible levels of THC in the formulation mean THC levels are so minuscule, that if they exist, the laboratory instruments could not detect it. If a laboratory instrument can’t even detect any THC, I am very comfortable using this CBD.

Only Natural Ingredients

Just because it is natural doesn’t mean the product won’t contain chemicals or additives. Not all Cannabidiol products contain natural ingredients.

Vitaldiol Essential Tincture is only two natural ingredients -no fillers, dyes, food colorings, flavorings, or preservatives.

Ease Of Use

Each dropper contains 1mg of Olive Oil and 30mg of CBD. The dispensing cap glass dropper comes with measured increments on the glass tube to get precisely the dose intended for your needs:

Each dropper contains 1mg of Olive Oil and 30mg of CBD

Each dropper contains 1mg of Olive Oil and 30mg of CBD

Let’s take a look at the simple yet powerful ingredients in this formulation:

Olives for Virgin Olive Oil

Olive for Organic Olive Oil

The Ingredients

Olive Oil

This formula contains 30 ml (one ounce) of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Olive Oil is an excellent carrier oil for CBD because it is gentle to the system and is rich in monounsaturated fats.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil contains vitamins A, D, and E. Rich in antioxidants, it reduces inflammation. Inflammation is a major component of many diseases and injuries. Olive oil is beneficial as an anti-bacterial.

If you have a nut allergy, Olive Oil also provides an alternative to the nut-based carrier oils commonly used in CBD products.

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

Broad Spectrum CBD

Broad Spectrum CBD oil comes from hemp leaves. It has all of the helpful cannabinoids such as CBG and CBN but without the intoxicating effects of THC. It is less processed than a CBD Isolate.

Broad Spectrum CBD will not get you high or make you feel altered.

This tincture contains 900mg of broad-spectrum CBD.

CBD Research

The Experience

Take Essential by Vitaldiol sublingually. Hold it under your tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing to maximize bioavailability.

You can also add Essential Tincture to your drink, but it takes longer to absorb.

There is no taste or odor, maybe slightly nutty but not vegetal. The oil is very smooth and absorbs quickly under the tongue. I cannot taste it in my coffee, tea, or even water. It is slightly less heavy than olive oil but not as light as grape seed oil.

There is no grogginess or altered feeling with use. I slept comfortably.

CBD instead of OTC Pain Relievers

With unexplained pains, muscle or joint aches, it is always wise to check with your health care provider to avoid masking a serious underlying issue.

But if your muscular pain and soreness are associated with exercise or other known causes, you might find this product a good alternative to many others whose negatives outweigh their positives. Why take ibuprofen or Tylenol after an exercise workout when a safe, natural remedy will work?
