If you’re exploring cannabinoid products and researching the best choice for your health and needs, you will have come across hemp oil and CBD oil. You’ve probably wondered if hemp oil is the same as CBD oil, but not to worry – it’s a common misconception due to the products being marketed similarly and stocked closely together on the same shelves. In this article we’ll be exploring both products to understand exactly what the difference between CBD and hemp is.

Hemp Oil vs Hemp Seed Oil?

“Hemp oil” is used to describe any oil extracted from the Cannabis Sativa or Hemp plant. While it is described as hemp oil, it could thus also be fairly described as “cannabis extract”. It is high in omega 6 and omega 3 essential fatty acids, which are great for your health. It is also high in amino acids.

Hemp seed oil differs from hemp oil in that it is specifically extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant (and not the plant itself). It is made using a cold pressing process and is commonly used in cooking as an alternative to other fats and oils (like sunflower or canola). Hemp seed oil contains trace amounts of CBD and no THC. You may also find hemp seed oil is the carrier used for CBD oils.

What is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is also extracted from hemp plants, with the key difference being that it is done with the sole purpose of maintaining the CBD content of the oil. Goodrays CBD gummies and CBD oils are full-spectrum products which means they contain hundreds of cannabinoid compounds from the plant, with CBD in the highest volumes. CBD oil is non-psychoactive with no THC content and can be added to your diet for several purposes from supporting better sleep to promoting calm and anxiety reduction.

What is the difference between CBD and hemp?

Sorting out hemp oil and CBD oil can get confusing, since both come from the same plant. But here’s the deal: hemp oil usually doesn’t have much CBD in it. On the other hand, CBD oil is all about getting that CBD goodness and you’ll find it in stuff like gummies and drinks.

If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to your usual cooking oil, then hemp or hemp seed oil is a great choice, especially with those high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Just remember: hemp oil products are completely free of CBD and THC, which means you won’t experience any psychoactive effects or potential therapeutic benefits often associated with these compounds.
