This depends on the reason you want to take CBD. Oral products, like oils and edibles, provide great, all-round care. Transdermal products, such as muscle balms, are ideal for targeted use. Of if it’s the benefits of CBD for the skin you’re interested in, CBD skincare is a great way to go!

CBD works via multiple pathways and mechanisms in the body, most notably, the endocannabinoid system (ECs). This is a vast network of receptors and neurotransmitters (endocannabinoids) within the body which functions to regain and maintain balance in all processes, including temperature, appetite and digestion, sleep, memory, mood, pain, and pleasure. It can be found throughout all other physiological systems, in every muscle, joint, organ and skin cell. It’s even been found to be present in our mitochondrial cell walls! The body naturally produces endocannabinoids (also known as our ‘bliss molecules’) on demand to restore equilibrium when needed. However, research suggests that these chemicals can become depleted due to factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and illness, the result of which is imbalance in the body and just about any problem you can think of!

CBD interacts with this system by temporarily inhibiting the enzyme that ordinarily breaks down our endocannabinoids. This allows higher levels to accumulate and travel through our bloodstream, to help us achieve balance and bliss.

However, it’s important to note that CBD products are food supplements, not medications, and are not intended to treat or cure any illness or disease.

CBD Isolate is 99% pure cannabidiol which has literally been isolated from other cannabinoids contained in hemp plants.  With impending UK and EU regulations, it is becoming the most popular, and dependable, form of taking CBD as its pure form simplifies the testing process.

Yes it is, as long as it sticks within the extremely low legal limits of controlled cannabinoids, like THC and is approved by the Food Standards Agency. All reputable suppliers will provide lab reports demonstrating they meet these limits and if they’re not available on the website you can always ask to see them. All Voyager CBD products are THC free and completely legal in the UK.

Not at all. The World Health Organisation (WHO) published a report confirming this, stating that CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical found in cannabis or hemp that does not induce physical dependence and is “not associated with abuse potential.”

We believe that CBD is the perfect supplement to support you on the journey of life. With CBD by your side, you’ll be free to become a voyager of the world!

Marijuana is not a scientific name, but actually a Mexican word that was used as part of racist anti-cannabis propaganda that started in the 1920s, to link cannabis to Mexicans. However, it’s commonly used to describe high THC cannabis. Hemp naturally contains much lower levels of THC and higher levels of CBD, which is why industrial hemp is usually used to made CBD oil.

‘Marijuana’ is a type of cannabis that has many more flowers and can be used recreationally (to get high), and it’s also the kind which is generally grown for medicinal use. Hemp plants tend to be larger and stronger and can be used to create many things, from CBD oil and medicinal remedies, to food and oil, rope, bricks, natural polymers, fibre, clothes and much more.

The FSA advises a maximum limit of 70mg of CBD in a 24 hour period, and all Voyager products are clearly labelled to show you how many drops this would be. However, CBD has been used safely in studies up to extraordinarily high doses of 1500mg per dose! That would be like drinking a bottle in one (we don’t advise that!) but it demonstrates that there’s no risk of ‘overdose’.

Really, there’s no hard and fast rules about how much you should take – it’s about finding your own unique dose. You can do this by building up slowly, drop by drop, until you feel it’s working for you. It’s a good idea to stick with a dose for a week before adding more, just to allow your body time to accumulate the cannabinoids and endocannabinoids. Some people notice effects with very low dose (just a couple of drops 2-3 times a day) whereas others feel they benefit from more.

If there’s anything you’re unsure about, get in touch.

Although everyone’s experience with CBD is unique, most people report feeling relaxed, with slightly elevated mood and generally more balanced overall.

This really depends on your choice of product, what strength of CBD it contains and how you take it.

If you take CBD oil and hold the drops under your tongue for a minute or two to allow time for absorption, it becomes active in your body within a few minutes and lasts around 3 hours. Edibles, like CBD gummies, need to go through the digestive process before they start working so this can take between half an hour and 2 hours, depending on your metabolism. This form of CBD will stay active longer though, for around 4-6 hours.

Research also suggests there is a cumulative effect of taking CBD and that it becomes more effective if taken on a regular basis.
