The CBD market is a confusing
place, unless you're armed with
this essential buying guide...

M

ore than six million people in
the UK have tried the cannabis
compound cannabidiol (CBD).
These days, you can walk into
a variety of supermarkets and pharmacies to
pick up a tincture of your choice. Business is
booming, and it's only getting bigger.
But do you really know what you're buying?
The UK market is currently unregulated, which
means many products are unreliable. Indeed, a
Centre for Medicinal Cannabis (CMC) report
found more than half of 30 bottles tested didn't
contain the CBD levels stated on the label,
while another report found one brand that had
THC levels (a controlled cannabis compound)
four times higher than the legal limit. If you're
looking to dip your toe into the CBD water, you
want to know exactly what's in store.
That's why Dragonfly Biosciences, Europe's
leading retailer of high quality CBD, is different.
The team carefully cultivates expertise, trust
and transparency. For starters, its range is
THC-free. But what does that mean?

The cannabis plant contains 113
cannabinoids; tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC) is the one that gets
you high. It's treated as
a controlled substance
in the UK, thus it's
currently illegal. Such
information is vital,
especially if you have
drug screenings at work.

PEACE OF MIND

With Dragonfly Biosciences, you'll find batchspecific lab reports. After all, claims of CBD
content and THC-free guarantees are pointless
without official documentation to back it up.
Dragonfly Biosciences also oversees seed-toshelf production. That way, the team controls
the entire process, ensuring THC-free content,
thorough testing and product integrity. Such
a rigorous process takes around six months,
ensuring there's quality in every drop.
Its CBD products are all derived
from organically grown Cannabis Sativa L.,
meaning your plant-based path to wellness
includes all-natural farming processes and
zero pesticides. The range is also vegan; any
quality extract shouldn't have anything but
plant-based ingredients, and Dragonfly's
ethical and sustainable farming, testing and
formulation methods ensure all products
are plant-packed.
Looking to board the CBD
bandwagon? Make sure you do it
with Dragonfly Biosciences.

Selected product ranges are
available at chosen Boots
stores, boots.com, Sainsbury's,
Tesco and Day Lewis Pharmacies

MEAL DEAL
HOW TO TAKE CBD
"For best results, leave CBD under the
tongue for one-two minutes before
swallowing," says Professor Saoirse
O'Sullivan, Dragonfly CBD advisory board
member and Science Lead at the Centre
for Medicinal Cannabis. "That way, it
enters the bloodstream within about 15
minutes and is not immediately broken
down by the liver. Some studies also
suggest CBD is better absorbed when
you are fed, so after a meal is best."
