\n

<\/h3>\n

Q: What is CBD?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> CBD stands for cannabidiol, a compound extracted from cannabis plants, and the main compound found in the hemp plant. CBD is not psychoactive, so it does not change a person’s state of mind when they use it.<\/p>\n

Q: What is THC?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, the main compound found in marijuana plants. THC is what gives marijuana its psychoactive properties or \u201chigh\u201d effects.<\/p>\n

Q: Do CBD products contain THC?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> CBD products<\/a> must contain less than 0.3% THC to be legal according to federal law. All CBD products sold at GNC are tested by the brand owner to ensure they contain under 0.3% of THC before they can be sold at GNC.<\/p>\n

Q: What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> Hemp and marijuana are different species of Cannabis sativa, come from different plants, and are bred for different purposes.<\/p>\n

Both hemp and marijuana contain CBD, but there\u2019s a much higher percentage in hemp. Hemp also has much lower levels of THC (less than 0.3%) than the marijuana species.<\/p>\n

Hemp is grown to be durable, have very long stalks and as few flowering buds as possible\u2014this can make it easier to extract the high amounts of CBD. Hemp\u2019s chemical profile means that you can\u2019t get \u201chigh\u201d from it, and it is used to create food and cosmetics, as well as other products, including rope, bricks, natural polymers, fiber, clothes and many more..<\/p>\n

Marijuana strains of cannabis are typically smaller, flimsier and have many flowering buds with the sole purpose of maximizing the concentration of THC.<\/p>\n

Q: Is CBD the only cannabinoid in the hemp plant?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> No. CBD is one of many cannabinoids within the hemp plant, but it\u2019s currently the most popular one being researched for potential wellness benefits.<\/p>\n

Q: How does CBD get incorporated into beauty products?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> Once extracted, CBD can be combined with a carrier oil, which is then incorporated into topical creams, lotions and more.<\/p>\n

Q: Who to trust for CBD?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> It seems like everyone is selling CBD these days, so it\u2019s smart to ask questions about quality and sourcing. As the supplement industry leader, GNC is committed to ensuring potency, purity and consistency by only carrying high-quality products\u2014that includes CBD. When selecting our partners, we consider every aspect of the company\u2019s ingredient sourcing and quality control protocol, so your body gets nothing short of exceptional.

Only products that pass our evaluation are available for sale at GNC.<\/p>\n

Q: How much should I take?<\/h3>\n

A:<\/strong> CBD products should be taken as indicated on each product label. The products are intended for adult use. Different forms including gummies, pills and topical products are available depending on each customer\u2019s preference. .<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
