WHAT IS CBD?
Short for cannabidiol (ka-nuh-bi-dee-ol), CBD is a non-intoxicating substance found in all hemp/cannabis plants. It is part of a family of molecules called cannabinoids (ka-nuh-buh-noyds). CBD is well-regarded for its natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anxiolytic properties which can help relieve a number of symptoms related to pain, sleep disorders, anxiety and general inflammation.
Calyx CBD isolate is derived from non-GMO mature industrialized hemp stalks. It is CO2 extracted and then takes form as a crystalline isolate, tested at 99+% purity. All Calyx products, ingredients, and equipment are pharmaceutical grade. Isolate extracted using CO2 contains only the pure refined CBD molecules and no other cannabinoids, plant materials, solvents, etc. This ensures the highest level of quality and consistency across our range of products.
WILL CBD GET YOU HIGH?
No. Both belonging to the cannabis plant genus which consist of three different species – “cannabis” is used interchangeably with “marijuana” and refers to strains containing a high amount of the intoxicating cannabinoid delta-9-tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC), which are used for therapeutic, medical and recreational purposes.
While “hemp” typically refers to industrial hemps stalks which have been cultivated for centuries for their seed, oil and fiber. These plants may appear similar to the more well-known cannabis plant but are naturally higher in CBD and contain less than 0.3% THC. Hemp-derived CBD isolate contains no detectable amounts of THC and is non-intoxicating.
WHAT IS A COA?
A CBD certificate of authenticity or COA is also known as a certificate of analysis. It’s an official report analyzing the contents of the CBD product.
At Calyx, we provide COAs for each product which includes the breakdown of ingredients and cannabinoid content.
