CBD capsules and syringeIn recent years, all sorts of products have been incorporating cannabidiol (CBD) and touting CBD oil benefits. Everything from coffee to face cream can be found infused with some sort of CBD-based ingredient, but how much of the active ingredient is included in each of these products?

The other logical question is how much CBD is required in any particular concoction to prove effective?

So far, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has failed to regulate or issue guidelines regarding CBD products.

CBD is the extract of a cannabis plant that does not include the high-inducing chemical THC, found in marijuana. CBD appears to show promise as an anti-inflammatory that also helps reduce pain, anxiety, seizures and many other ailments.

Because the amount of quantifiable research on CBD is scarce, the amount of the active ingredient that a person needs for any therapeutic effect is a mystery, except in cases where private companies have run studies and shared their results.

According to Forbes, a company called Viridian Pharmaceuticals has conducted its own studies on CBD oil benefits and dosing. Notion is the name of the company’s topical lotion that has been based on Viridian’s own bioavailability trials and other testing to determine the best delivery of the CBD. They found the CBD concentration of 750 milligrams per 30-milliliter jar is an effective dose to help with migraines, spasms, stress, sleep issues, and muscle and joint pain.

Viridian CEO Layne Beal told Forbes that the company is trying to legitimize CBD by conducting its own clinical trials. The application of the product to the skin where it can be properly absorbed via the right delivery system is the focus of Viridian’s efforts. Beal said Viridean has a “proprietary delivery technology” its paired with CBD.

In the meantime, the FDA did approve its first CBD-based drug in June 2018. Epidiolex oral solution can be prescribed to treat seizures related to Lennox-Gestaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, which are two rare but severe forms of epilepsy.

Epidiolex was proven effective after clinical trials involving 516 patients suffering from either Lennox-Gestaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome found that the frequency of seizures was reduced in the group taking Epidiolex compared to a control group that was provided a placebo.

CBD Oil Benefits May Be Lacking in Some Hyped Products

The CBD market is expected to grow to a $3.86 billion industry by 2025, and a lot of different companies are vying for a piece of the pie.

In many cases of less expensive CBD products, the buyer must beware. Some companies are jumping on the CBD bandwagon by touting the benefits of CBD oil even though only scant traces of CBD (or even no CBD) may be found in the products.

Among the CBD oil products currently under investigation are products by Ceres Bounty, Wellbies, Funky Monkey vape cartridges, and Magic Puff Hemp Disposables.

Without measurable amounts of the active ingredient, the consumer is not apt to feel any therapeutic effects.

At least one class action lawsuit has been filed against a company that allegedly failed to include the amount of CBD oil the product claimed.
