Hemp Extract 10mg

Hemp extract is a substance derived from the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa L.). It is typically produced by extracting compounds from the plant's flowers, leaves, and stems, often using methods like CO2 extraction or solvent extraction. The resulting extract can contain various cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD).

Hemp extract is added to foods and beverages for its perceived calming properties and as a functional ingredient. It is most commonly found in specialty beverages like sparkling water and in dietary supplements. Manufacturers use it to create products marketed for relaxation and general wellness.

In the US, hemp-derived CBD products, including those containing hemp extract, are subject to FDA regulation. The FDA has approved one CBD-based drug (Epidiolex) for certain seizure disorders. For other uses, the FDA has stated that products containing CBD or THC added to food are illegal. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated CBD, but specific ADIs are not typically set for hemp extract in food. Research into the health effects of hemp extract is ongoing, and evidence for many claimed benefits is still developing.
