Relaxing With Dr Hemp Me: Our UK Reviewer Tries This Popular CBD Oil
Dr. Hemp Me say they’re becoming one of England’s most popular CBD brands. A bold claim, but after our reviewer spent a week using their 20% CBD tincture it’s easy to see why.
Even beyond the product itself, everything about Dr. Hemp Me, from the packaging to their website, speaks to their quality and legitimacy. We appreciated their clean and modest packaging, which moves away from the “ganja” imagery found in brands that are just trying to make a quick buck in the budding CBD industry.
Of course, the effects from CBD are subjective, but around an hour after dosing our reviewer felt a distinct clarity to his thoughts. Whereas sometimes the mind can race, and jump about randomly, Dr. Hemp Me’s CBD oil helped bring focus and relaxation, without ever slipping into tiredness or intoxication.
Dr. Hemp Me paid us a fee and offered us free products in return for our honest opinion. If you purchase a product from one of these links, we’ll receive a percentage of sales. Read more about sponsored content on the Ministry of Hemp.
Read on to learn more about Dr. Hemp Me and their CBD oil.
Guiding CBD consumers with good advice & great products
Dr. Hemp Me’s product listings include a dosage calculator which provides helpful advice on how much CBD to take. Of course, this isn’t an exact science as everyone responds to CBD differently, but at the very least it’s a handy way to see how long your CBD oil will last.
But what about the CBD itself? Their products and oils are regulated by the Cannabis Trade Association of Ireland — one of just two companies in Ireland to have this level of verification. They put their products through vigorous testing at one of Europe’s leading testing labs. These lab reports are available for each product, showing the precise amount of CBD and other cannabinoids, such as CBN and CBG. That’s vital info when it comes to knowing exactly what you’re taking.
Even better, they produce their CBD using Supercritical CO2 Fluid Extraction (SCFE) on the whole hemp plant. This means the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes are present in the final product so the user can enjoy the benefits of the entourage effect. We noticed Dr. Hemp Me doesn’t sell CBD isolate, suggesting full-spectrum CBD is a key part of their business.
Dr. Hemp Me CBD promotes clarity & comfort
For this article, we used a 10 ml bottle of Dr. Hemp Me’s 20% CBD oil, containing approximately 200 drops. Our reviewer took it in the morning, as recommended on the Dr. Hemp Me site, starting with one drop for the first couple of days then settling at three drops each morning. This tincture uses a glass dropper, which allows you to take an equal-sized drop each time.
Surprisingly for CBD, the taste is quite pleasant. This product contains just hemp extract suspended in hemp seed oil, which makes the overall taste quite gentle and far from the harsh, earthy taste you might find in other brands. The advice given is to let it settle under your tongue for 90 seconds so it can absorb into your bloodstream quicker than simply swallowing it.
This is the second strongest CBD oil sold by Dr. Hemp Me, with the most expensive product containing a whopping 40% CBD, one of the highest levels available on the European market and a price point to match. Thankfully, the 20% bottle is more than suitable for the typical CBD user.
One evening, after a long walk our reviewer felt particularly weary, so he dosed about three drops of the oil. After an hour, he noticed substantial benefits. Aching joints eased up, brain fog dissipated and he felt an overall sense of calmness. Everyone reacts to CBD in different ways and uses it for different reasons, but compared to the dozens of other CBD brands tested it’s clear that Dr. Hemp Me’s product is of particularly high quality.
If we had any criticisms it’s that the dropper could sometimes be tricky to use, and going from past experience it’s likely to be difficult to get those last remaining drops out. We’d love to see the option of a spray-style mechanism offered as an alternative.
