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.

Addressing Common Myths About Vitamins and Supplements by Amanda Tirado

The wellness industry is filled with advice about vitamins and supplements, but not all of it is accurate. Many people rely on supplements for better health, but misunderstandings about how they work can lead to wasted money or even potential harm. Amanda Lorena Tirado, founder of Xmy, is passionate about educating people on making smarter supplement choices. Her company focuses on high-quality, effective products while also giving back to the community through charitable initiatives. Let’s break down some of the most common myths about vitamins and supplements so you can make informed decisions.

One of the biggest myths is that all supplements work the same way, regardless of how they are taken. Many don’t realize that traditional pills and capsules have to pass through the digestive system, where stomach acid and enzymes break them down. This can significantly reduce the amount of nutrients your body actually absorbs.

In contrast, oral strips and liquid supplements enter the bloodstream more quickly, making them more effective. For example, vitamin B12 is often poorly absorbed in pill form but is much more bioavailable in liquid or sublingual forms. Choosing the right delivery method is just as important as picking the right supplement.

Another misconception is that supplements can replace a healthy diet. Many people assume taking a daily multivitamin covers all their nutritional needs, but that’s not how the body works. Supplements are designed to support a good diet, not replace it. Whole foods provide more than just vitamins, they contain fiber, antioxidants, and other compounds that work together to benefit your health.

For example, an orange does not just offer vitamin C. It also provides fiber, flavonoids, and other nutrients that enhance absorption and support overall health. Research has shown that people who get their nutrients from food rather than supplements tend to have better long-term health outcomes. So while supplements can help fill gaps in your diet, they should not be your primary source of nutrients.

Many people also assume that if a supplement is labeled as “natural,” it must be better and safer. But that’s not necessarily true. The term “natural” is often used as a marketing tool rather than an indicator of quality or safety.

Some natural ingredients can be harmful, especially in high doses or when mixed with certain medications. On the flip side, some synthetic nutrients are actually more stable and easier for the body to absorb. The key is to choose well-researched, high-quality supplements from reputable brands rather than relying on misleading labels.

Another dangerous myth is that taking more vitamins means better health. Some believe that if a little is good, a lot must be even better, but that’s not always the case.

Certain vitamins, especially fat-soluble ones like A, D, E, and K, can build up in the body and become toxic if taken in excessive amounts. Too much vitamin A, for example, can lead to liver damage, while excessive vitamin D can cause kidney problems. Even water-soluble vitamins like B-complex and C can cause side effects in very high doses, such as nerve issues or stomach discomfort. Moderation is key when it comes to supplementation.

At Xmy, the focus is not just on convenience, it’s about real impact. The company is committed to producing supplements that prioritize effectiveness and bioavailability. But their mission goes beyond selling products.

Misinformation about supplements is everywhere, but being informed is the best way to make smarter health choices. The way a supplement is absorbed matters as much as what’s in it. A balanced diet is still the foundation of good health, and more vitamins don’t always mean better results.

Xmy is changing the way people think about supplements. Amanda and her team believe that good health is not just about what you take, it’s about making informed choices and supporting brands that genuinely care. Choosing the right supplements means choosing a brand that stands for something bigger. With Xmy, you are not just improving your health, you are supporting a company that is making a real difference.
