The ECS is a complex cell-signalling system identified in 1992 by Dr Raphael Mechoulam, who was a professor of medicinal chemistry and natural products at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. They discovered that the ECS plays a fundamental role in regulating every physiological system in our body, and the functions and processes of all these systems. The ECS system is found all over the body; in the brain, organs, glands, connective tissue & immune cells.  It is primarily involved in regulating all our physiological systems & processes including appetite, pain sensation, mood & memory.  The primary role of this system reolves around maintaining balance in the body – or homeostasis.

Whilst we are still discovering the full extent of how the ECS system works in our bodies, we can break down the role of the ECS down to two primary functions:

1. To modulate pleasure, energy & well-being
2. To slowly nudge the body back to health in the face of injury & disease

It is entirely legal to purchase CBD Oil in the UK provided it complies with the Novel Food Act.

‘Novel Food’ refers to any food without a history of widely documented consumption before May 1997.  These can still be things we are familiar with, for example a food consumed elsewhere in the world like chia seeds or certain probiotic bacteria.

Yes. Our CBD supplier was one of the first to submit their novel foods application to the FSA confirming Treed is a customer and covering our entire CBD supplement product range. Our application number is RP229.

MCT stands for Medium-Chain Triglycerides. These are healthy fats mainly derived from Coconut oil. Compared to other fats and oils, MCT is smaller and absorbed faster. Our MCT oil is responsibly sourced from coconuts

When you take CBD oil, some can be lost in the digestive process. In the liver, the CBD is broken down into hundreds of metabolites. Many are not used by the body and expelled. This process decreases the amount of CBD, reducing its bioavailability. This is where MCT Oil becomes useful. It carries the CBD past the first pass metabolism process into the bloodstream, meaning your body absorbs more CBD. This increases its bio-availability and ensures you get the best possible effect.

All of our Lab Reports are conducted by an independent 3rd Party Laboratory . As a consumer you should know exactly what you’re putting into your body and we strongly advise reading and understanding a Lab Report before trying any CBD product.

A World Health Organization report issued in 2017 concluded that CBD does not appear to have abuse potential or cause harm. The vast majority of CBD oil users don’t experience any negative effects.

If you have a health condition or are taking any prescribed or over-the-counter medicines, always check with your doctor or a pharmacist for possible drug supplement interactions before taking CBD.

No, unfortunately it is a criminal offence to use CBD products on your pets in the UK, if you don’t have a valid prescription from a vet. All CBD products for animals need authorisation before they can be sold in the UK.

The simple answer is no. CBD is not addictive.

On the other hand, it has even been suggested that CBD has been shown to help overcoming some addictions. A 2013 study looked at the effectiveness of CBD as a way to reduce tobacco consumption. Observing 24 smokers over a week-long period, those treated with CBD reduced the number of cigarettes smoked, while those with the placebo showed no change.

Just fill the dropper with oil and drop it underneath your tongue, letting it sit for one-minute to absorb. With all orders, we provide guidelines for how many drops you need to take depending on what type of aid you’re looking for.

You can also download our Beginner’s Guide to CBD for guidelines on how much you need to take.

While swallowing the oil poses no threat and will still be effective, taking the oil sublingually (under your tongue), allows for maximum and rapid absorption into your bloodstream. When you swallow it immediately, CBD still reach the bloodstream after digestion, but it’s absorbed much more slowly and some of its effectiveness may be lost through the gastric walls in the stomach.

That’s why we recommend holding the drops under your tongue for at least 30 seconds to ensure you get maximum effectiveness

We’re more than happy to discuss how CBD may be able to help you reach your goals and have a better quality of life.

We have partnered with Trees For The Future, a non-profit organization that plants trees across sub-Saharan Africa. They improve the lives of impoverished farmers by rejuvenating lands by planting specific types of fast-growing trees. Over a 4 year period, this can change the lives of their families forever.  The idea is not only to better your own life, but to make a small difference in bettering the lives of others. So far we have planted over 5,073 trees!

You can find more information about our tree planting here.

Our hemp is grown under GAP standards, and is processed under audited GMP Standards in the US, to meet and exceed the quality expected by our customers. Once the raw material is shipped to the UK, we work closely with our science teams in their lab to formulate our CBD products.

Our lab is also the first CBD-based product manufacturer in Europe to hold a BRCGS certification – the gold standard for food safety.
