Terravidaonline, the fastest-growing CBD wholesaler in the US, announced new ZERO THC tinctures will hit the shelves at retailers who sell its products. The THC content in CBD created a lot of pressure for the FDA, in order to regulate what may and may not be sold to the public. The CEO of Terravidaonline, Eddie Mamane, said: “Since there are discrepancies in how different states see the law, we made it easy for our retail partners: now we have a range of ZERO THC products which removes the red tape faced in some states”.

The image above depicts how varying strengths of ZERO THC CBD products will look, ranging from 1000MG, to 2500MG and even the super strong 5000MG.

CBD Has Become So Popular that Isolate Producers in the US May Face a Supply Squeeze

Since the signing of the Farm Bill of 2018 by the US president in December 2018, CBD has become more popular than ever and there is increasing demand by consumers. Even doctors who have read about the effectiveness of CBD for health concerns such as depression, chronic pain, Alzheimer’s disease, acne, anxiety and epilepsy are now prescribing more CBD for their patients than ever before. But does the increased demand match increased supply?

There hasn’t been enough time for the supply side to respond to the increased demand. If any farmers in the northern hemisphere plan to grow hemp, they can only start this coming summer. It is hoped that enough of them will joint the now popular hemp farming otherwise there will be a supply squeeze. Do we know what happens when demand exceeds supply? Prices will rise and those people who cannot afford the high prices will end up shopping by price alone, which means that they will end up purchasing low quality CBD. This is CBD extracted from hemp that was conventionally grown and maybe extracted using butane and ethanol. Products made from such CBD contains traces of harmful chemicals which are then ingested or inhaled or applied topically to the body, only to cause new problems.

Why Quality Matters

Whether you are new or old to the use of CBD, quality matters – as pointed out by a well-known Doctor. With so many CBD brands available out there how does a consumer know which one is good quality and which one is not? With so many versions of CBD in the form of lotions, vapes, capsules, softgels, oils, topicals and edibles, how does a consumer know which one is best? It can be confusing. And, considering the high cost of CBD and the total lack of government guidelines, how does a consumer make a decision?

The best way for a consumer to get the best out of CBD is the buy and use high quality CBD. Why does that matter? Because every user must get the best value for their money. Generally, the better the quality, the higher the price, yet it does not necessarily follow that when a CBD product is expensive it is better quality. That is because the potency of CBD varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so consumers have to make sure that what they get is strong enough to give them the effect that they desire. Consumers have to compare various products and look behind the scenes to discover the practices that each manufacturer follows to make their CBD product, e.g. the extraction process. Consumers must also check what each manufacturer insists on when they buy from the farmers because they want CBD to be made from organic non-GMO hemp. They must also check each manufacturer to find out if they use independent laboratories to certify that the CBD is free from pesticides, free from extraction chemical residues, and it is the right concentration. At the end of the day, every consumer must pay the best price for a high-quality product.

Consumers can actually check the quality of CBD by looking at the colour:

Raw CBD is either dark green or almost black because it was not purified. Therefore, it contains terpenes, waxes, chlorophyll, other cannabinoids and other plant matter. It is said that this type of CBD is not readily bioavailable and consumers might want to avoid it.
Decarboxylated CBD is also dark but the active ingredients have gone through decarboxylation which changes CBD-A to CBD which is claimed to be more bioavailable.
Filtered CBD is the most available type. It is decarboxylated and filtered and it has a lovely green colour. This is high quality CBD that can be compared to a fine brandy that has been triple distilled.

Quality matters. In the absence of government regulation and guidelines, consumers must do their own homework to ensure that they purchase and use high quality CBD products.

Two Example Products Made from High-Quality Non-GMO Certified CBD

Let’s focus on two high quality products made from CBD isolate made by Industrial Hemp Partners (IHP). There are oils, softgels, capsules, vape products, topical products, edibles and even pet products. Skin care products made from CBD are the latest development in the CBD industry. Users of CBD-infused beauty products keep reporting amazing results from using such items. Here are the reasons why CBD is very popular in beauty products.

CBD is Anti-Inflammatory: This property makes CBD the perfect ingredient for fighting psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. Because it prevents swelling and irritation it is perfect for preventing acne and pimple breakouts. CBD creams and lotions are the perfect allies for anyone who suffers from acne and pimples.

CBD is Anti-Oil: It minimises sebum production and normalizes over-active sebaceous glands and, as a result, the face is less oily and the pores are less clogged. This property of CBD makes it the perfect ingredient in acne products in order to prevent and treat acne.

CBD is Nourishing and Moisturising: CBD contains vitamins A, D and E, omega-6 essential fatty acid and gamma-linolenic acid which moisturize without blocking pores, and make the skin look plumber and more radiant.

CBD is Anti-Aging: CBD works very well with the endocannabinoid system, supplying any chemicals that might be lacking in the body, including antioxidants. Antioxidants reduce the appearance of wrinkles, prevent the skin from becoming dry, thin and fragile and give the skin a youthful glow.

Here we discuss two beauty products made from high quality non-GMO certified CBD that will give any user all the benefits listed above.

CBD Day & Night Face Moisture by Terra Vida

CBD Day & Night Face Moisture made by Terra Vida is an anti-aging cream with pure hemp CBD oil blended with hyaluronic acid. It hydrates the skin and reduces wrinkles. CBD is a powerful anti-oxidant therefore it prevents free-radial damage which leads to early aging of the skin. It also repairs previous free-radical damage, leaving the skin looking younger and smoother. Studies have confirmed CBD’s anti-aging benefits without the need for cosmetic surgery or harmful chemicals. In the process, any existing skin problems are solved, depression, anxiety and stress are relieved and relief prevents even more early aging. The user simply needs to apply this product to a cleansed skin twice per day.

CBD Anti-Aging Cream by Terra Vida

CBD Anti-Aging Cream by Terra Vida. This cream contains hemp oil, apple stem cells, and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. Natural hemp oil, when combine with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, encourages the vitality and longevity of the skin cells, making the skin look younger, lighter and brighter. The mixture of CBD and apple stem cells has been found to have amazing power to rejuvenate the skin, reversing the signs of early skin aging and damage. The antioxidant action of CBD reverses free radical damage and prevents any new free radical damage, that way preventing early aging.

This product is gently massaged into the face, neck and décolletage two times per day on cleansed skin to give it a youthful plump look. CBD also enters the bloodstream and the brain, relieving stress, anxiety and depression and, in the process, fighting off these causes of early aging.

Conclusion:

Precision with Compassion: How Dr. Nader Amiran Balances Clinical Expertise with Human Connection

Somewhere along the way, healthcare became fast, technical, and transactional. Patients learned to nod along, accept explanations they barely understood, and hope the treatment worked.

Dr. Nader Amiran chose a different path. At AIRE Dental Group, he has built a reputation not just for clinical accuracy, but for the way he connects with people before he ever connects the data. His work sits at the intersection of science and trust, where listening is not a courtesy, but a diagnostic tool.

For Dr. Amiran, empathy is not a soft skill layered on top of technical expertise. It is the foundation of precision. He believes you cannot treat what you do not fully understand, and understanding begins long before imaging or exams. It starts with hearing how a patient lives, where their discomfort shows up, and how long they have been carrying it.

This philosophy shapes every interaction in his practice. Consultations are unhurried. Questions are encouraged. Patients are not rushed toward conclusions. Instead, Dr. Amiran takes time to understand the full picture, knowing that pain rarely exists in isolation. Jaw discomfort, headaches, or bite changes often come with frustration, fear, or confusion after years of unanswered questions. Those emotions matter because they influence how patients experience care.

One of the defining elements of his approach is how he explains complex findings. Dentistry, especially TMJ and functional care, can feel overwhelming. Dr. Amiran makes it accessible. He uses visuals, models, and imaging to show patients what is happening inside their own bodies. The goal is clarity, not complexity. When patients understand what is causing their symptoms, anxiety gives way to confidence. Studies have shown that patients forget between 40% and 80% of the medical information provided by healthcare practitioners immediately, which highlights the importance of clear explanations and visual education during consultations.

This commitment to education did not come without challenges. Early in his career, Dr. Amiran often treated patients who had already seen multiple providers and still felt stuck. Many had received treatment without ever truly understanding their diagnosis. Those experiences reinforced an important lesson: even the most accurate clinical decision loses impact if the patient feels excluded from the process. The role of patient education in improving compliance and treatment outcomes has been widely supported in clinical literature evaluating communication strategies in healthcare (Kessels, 2003).

In response, he made education central to care. Treatment plans are discussed in plain language, with a clear explanation of why each step matters. Patients are invited into the decision-making process rather than being handed instructions. This approach builds trust, but it also improves outcomes. When people understand their condition, they are more engaged and more invested in maintaining progress. Studies evaluating patient-centered care models have demonstrated that involving patients in treatment decisions improves adherence and satisfaction rates (Street et al., 2009).

Precision still plays a critical role. Dr. Amiran relies on advanced diagnostics, careful evaluation, and evidence-based planning. Technology provides valuable insight, but he is clear about its role. Data informs decisions; it does not replace judgment. Imaging shows structure, but listening reveals context. Together, they create a more complete understanding than either could alone.

What sets his work apart is how seamlessly these elements come together. Clinical accuracy does not overshadow compassion, and empathy does not dilute rigor. Each strengthens the other. By treating patients as partners rather than problems to solve, Dr. Amiran creates an environment where healing feels collaborative, not imposed.

At AIRE Dental Group, patients often describe a shift in how they experience care. For the first time, they feel heard. For the first time, the explanation makes sense. That sense of clarity changes everything. It turns treatment from something that happens to them into something they actively participate in.

Dr. Nader Amiran’s approach challenges a common assumption in modern medicine: that efficiency and empathy cannot coexist. His work proves they can. When precision is guided by understanding, results last longer, trust runs deeper, and care feels human again.

In a field driven by innovation, his philosophy is a reminder that the most powerful tool in dentistry is still the ability to listen.
