Cbd Isolate

Cannabidiol (CBD) isolate is a purified form of CBD, a compound extracted from the cannabis plant. It is typically produced by isolating CBD from other cannabinoids and plant compounds through processes like chromatography, resulting in a crystalline powder that is almost entirely pure CBD.

CBD isolate is added to foods and beverages for its purported wellness properties, often marketed as a way to promote relaxation or general well-being. It is most commonly found in drinks, particularly sweetened beverages like sparkling water and functional drinks, where it can be incorporated without significantly altering the flavour or texture.

In the UK, CBD is not currently listed as an authorised food additive on the Register of Food Additive Authorisations. Its presence in food is regulated under general food law, and products containing CBD must be safe and accurately labelled. The UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises that consumers considering using CBD products should be aware that the evidence for health benefits is still developing. EFSA has evaluated CBD in the context of novel foods and has not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).
