CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a natural compound derived from the cannabis plant. Unlike its counterpart THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD doesn’t produce a “high” or intoxicating effect. It’s renowned for its potential therapeutic properties and is often used in various wellness products, including oils, edibles, topical creams, and more. Research suggests CBD may have potential benefits for pain relief, anxiety reduction, improved sleep, and alleviating certain symptoms associated with various health conditions.

A product advertised as “100% THC free” means that it contains no detectable amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Manufacturers often use advanced extraction methods to isolate CBD or other desired cannabinoids from the cannabis plant while ensuring that THC levels are below the detectable limit, typically less than 0.3% in the United States. These extraction and purification processes, such as CO2 extraction or chromatography, are used to create products like CBD oils, isolates, or broad-spectrum products that retain other beneficial compounds found in the plant but exclude THC entirely. Third-party lab testing is usually conducted to verify the absence of THC in these products.

The use of CBD in children should be approached cautiously and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. While CBD is generally considered safe, its effects on children, especially on developing bodies and brains, are still being studied.

In some cases, CBD has been prescribed to children with certain medical conditions, such as severe epilepsy, by healthcare providers. Epidiolex, a CBD-based medication, has been approved by the FDA for certain forms of epilepsy in children.

Always consult with a pediatrician or healthcare provider before giving CBD or any other supplements to children to ensure safety and appropriate dosage.
