What is Cold Pressed CBD Oil?
Cold Pressing is a process that involves crushing and pressing hemp plant material at low temperatures to extract CBD oil.
What are the benefits of cold pressing?
1. Chemical-Free Extraction
Unlike CO2 or solvent-based methods, cold pressing doesn't use any chemicals or gases in the extraction process. This means there's no risk of residual solvents in the final product. Ensuring a cleaner, more natural product, free from harmful and unnatural chemicals.
2. Preservation of Beneficial Compounds
Cheaper methods of extraction use heat and chemicals; these methods destroy a number of delicate cannabinoids, nutrients, antioxidants, terpenes and flavonoids. Cold pressed oils contain significantly higher levels of CBG and CBC cannabinoids compared to other extraction methods. Studies suggest CBG reduces anxiety and depression, and CBC can reduce inflammation and chronic pain. A 2006 study found that CBC inhibits the growth on new cancer cells.
Cold pressing preserves the plant's integrity, allowing compounds to work together synergistically to create a more natural and potent oil. This synergy, known as 'The Entourage Effect', produces enhanced benefits compared to isolated compounds - which is why we choose cold pressing to retain all of hemp's beneficial properties.
3. Environmental Benefits
Cold pressed CBD oil uses much less energy than other extraction methods, therefore has a much smaller carbon footprint as well as no chemical waste produced.
Conclusion
Our cold pressed oil offers a natural, organic and minimally processed CBD product. Retaining the full spectrum of hemp's beneficial compounds and all while being the most environmentally friendly option too!
