Akira Botanicals hemp CBD products are low-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) hemp products that have been distilled and refined to contain only trace amounts of THC. They can be made from either full-spectrum hemp plant extract or a refined CBD isolate. They can be taken as a tincture, capsules or softgels.

A growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence supports the use of these hemp-based oil products for a variety of conditions. CBD oils are particularly popular due to the fact that they can provide pain relief without the intoxicating effects of cannabis or other psychoactive marijuana compounds. CBD also has neuroprotective properties and may help to prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It has been found to be an effective anticonvulsant, reducing the frequency of seizures in those suffering from certain types of epilepsy.

Hemp products are also a good source of the essential omega-3 fatty acid and have been shown to be beneficial for healthy skin and hair. They are also a rich source of the amino acid arginine and offer high levels of vitamins A, D and E.

However, the FDA’s position that hemp-derived CBD is a drug and therefore only legal in pill form as a prescription medication remains an important safeguard to ensure that consumers receive proper medical supervision when using this product.
