CBD oil between hype and law
Hardly any oil is so heavily advertised and so misunderstood. We separate marketing from facts soberly , without health promises, with a clear legal picture.
The factsCBD is not hemp seed oil
Constantly confused: hemp seed oil is a food oil without CBD. CBD oil contains the hemp compound cannabidiol in a carrier oil. CBD is not psychoactive, and the THC content must stay below the legal limit.
If no CBD amount in milligrams is on the label, it is not a CBD oil but simply hemp oil.

What you should know
- Legal grey zone: CBD oil for ingestion is classed in the EU as an unapproved novel food. Consumer associations and the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment view selling it as food critically.
- No health promises allowed: advertising a cure is not permitted. CBD is not a medicine.
- Quality is opaque: tests repeatedly find deviations between stated and actual content. An independent lab report is a must for a serious product.
Said honestly
The hype often promises more than the evidence supports. We make no health promises. Anyone who wants to try CBD looks for a lab report, a clear mg figure and a serious supplier, and consults a doctor when taking medication, during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
