Frequently Asked Questions

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound and can be derived from hemp or from non-hemp plants. Hemp is defined as any part of the cannabis sativa plant with no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

CBD is thought to interact with receptors in the central nervous system, and some evidence points toward a calming effect brought on by CBD.

CBD is thought to have neuroprotective effects due to how it interacts with CB2 receptors in the brain. CBD acts on these receptors by creating an anti-inflammatory response in immune cells in the brain. This reduces the amount of damage caused by inflammation in the brain.

Whether infused or not, all gummies are made with three primary ingredients: sugar, a thickener such as gelatin or fruit pectin, and flavoring. To make CBD gummies, the ingredients are mixed, heated, and poured into molds. After the cooking process, the CBD isolate is added to infuse the gummies before they harden.

Plant material, like cannabis, is soaked in ethanol. The plant material is then filtered to separate the solid from the liquid solvent-solute solution. The solution is processed using rotary evaporation or falling film evaporation to remove the solvent. This results in a crude botanical extract.

CBD oils and tinctures are taken sublingually, or under the tongue. It absorbs through mucous membranes straight into the bloodstream and bypasses the digestive process.

Full spectrum extracts contain CBD as well as a plethora of other cannabinoids, including THC. Isolate is CBD in its purest form and only contains cannabidiol. Check out our blog post “Why Choose Isolate?” for more information.

CBD and THC are two primary cannabinoids that occur naturally in hemp. The difference between the two is the arrangement of a single atom. Both bind to the CB2 receptor, but interact with the CB1 receptors in different ways.

No. CBD does not contain the psychoactive and mentally intoxicating effects that are typically associated with marijuana and THC.

MHL’s manufacturing process has been refined to eliminate any detectable THC. However, MHL cannot guarantee 99.999% CBD primarily due to acceptable inherent uncertainty in testing. Items such as glassware, balances and HPLC instruments create a margin of error when testing. We compensate for this by calibrating our equipment daily and between runs. 

Check out our blog for in-depth information on CBD manufacturing and applications. For more general education there are many valuble resources online.

Water-solubility refers to the ability of a substance to be dispersed in water. CBD is an oil. This can create problems when it comes to its bioavailability, or the degree to which it can be absorbed and used by the body, or in how it mixes into or stays in a consistent solution within a beverage.
