FAQs

Read up on our most frequently asked questions. If you don’t find an answer to your question, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Once the plant has reached majority, along with THC it is the most abundant cannabinoid, but unlike THC it is not psychoactive, so won’t get you high.

CBD interacts with many different areas in the body including our endocannabinoid system receptors, serotonin receptors, opioid receptors and various other ungrouped receptor types.

These receptors aid the regulation of our bodies and can help regulate the body in its search for homeostasis, meaning decreased inflammation, mood stability and better quality sleep. These effects are further enhanced as it also interacts with the serotonin and opioid receptors which also help to regulate and mange pain, sleep and mood.

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a natural cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. CBG is the original cannabinoid formed in the plant, sometimes called the ‘Stem cell’ or ‘mother of all cannabinoids’. This is because CBG breaks down to form all other compounds, including CBD, CBC and THC, but CBG it is not psychoactive, so won’t get you high.

CBG interacts with many different areas in the body including our endocannabinoid system receptors, serotonin receptors and adrenaline receptors.

These receptors aid the regulation of our bodies and can help the body in its search for homeostasis, meaning decreased inflammation, mood stability and better sleep. These effects are further enhanced as it also interacts with the serotonin and adrenaline receptors which also help to regulate and manage pain, sleep, mood, internal heat and blood pressure. CBG also appears to concentrate more in the gut to aid digestion and gut health as well as the eyes, maintaining both areas.

Cannabichromene (CBC) is one of the original cannabinoids within the cannabis plant that forms when the plant is very young. CBC is the bodyguard of the cannabis plant helping protect and nurture it when it’s in its growing phase. CBC it is not psychoactive, so won’t get you high.

CBC doesn’t seem to bind to the endocannabinoid receptors and instead works mainly with the TRP receptor channels which are responsible for the inflammation pain responses. It is also thought that CBC interacts in different areas in the brain to help modulate signalling. CBC also has the ability to slow the erosion of anandamide in the body, which is the body’s natural ‘bliss’ molecule, helping to stabilise our mood.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in most plants. Cannabis contains a high concentration of them and there are over 100 different terpenes found in cannabis.

These aromatic compounds create the characteristic scent of many plants, such, pine, lavender, orange, lemon and pepper corns. The smell of most plants is due to a combination of terpenes in them. Terpenes play an integral role in a plant’s growth and survival. Besides producing distinctive aromas, these organic compounds help to enhance the plant’s attractiveness to some creatures, while deterring others that intend harm. Many terpenes can have either sedating or energising effects.

No. All our products are 3rd party lab tested with example certifications of authenticity (COA) in the photo section of each.

Cannabinoids are not easy to get into your blood stream which is why we suggest holding a few drops at a time sublingually (under your tongue). This is because under the tongue the membrane is thinner than other areas, so the cannabinoids can cross into your bloodstream more effectively.

Our cannabinoids are grown in Colorado and produced in the UK by Taylor Mammon Ltd.

No. There are elements of the cannabis plant that interact with systems in your body that may result in a ‘high’ but CBG, CBD and CBC will not.

Yes. Within the cannabis plant there are 12 controlled cannabinoids, broadly either THC or CBN and other breakdowns of them. CBD, CBG and CBC are all safe and legal compounds.

A lot! They all interact with different systems in the body to help regulate our response to appetite, pain management, digestion, reproduction, stress and memory, addiction, and depression. They work with the Endocannabinoid system but also various other receptors in our bodies. For more information take a look at our TT academy page or our blog for articles.

At TT we believe in tailoring your dose to you and your body. The perfect amount will be different for everyone, but it is best to take it consistently as part of a daily routine. Always start slow and build up from there if needed. Download our TT diary to track your results so you can achieve your desired effects. Guidance from the UK’s Food Standard Agency recommends a maximum daily intake of 70mg in food or drinks.

Full-spectrum oil uses a refined CBD extract. The key compounds of cannabinoids and terpenes will be present along with some flavonoids. The fats, lipids, waxes and chlorophyll have usually been removed resulting in a very high-quality CBD oil.

Full-Spectrum CBD oil fully benefits from the entourage effect. By definition, full-spectrum CBD oil will contain controlled cannabinoids such as THC, CBN, or THCV. If the combined total amount of controlled cannabinoids is over 1mg per container, then the product is classed as a Schedule 1 drug under the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 and is not legal to sell over-the-counter.

Broad-spectrum CBD oil uses a further refined CBD extract. The key compounds of cannabinoids and terpenes will be present with trace amounts of flavonoids. The fats, lipids, waxes and chlorophyll have been removed. Controlled cannabinoids such as THC, CBN and THCV have also been removed or largely removed. If the residual amount of controlled cannabinoids is less than 1mg per container then the broad-spectrum product will be legal to sell OTC as a food supplement. Broad-spectrum CBD oil benefits from the entourage effect, although not as much as full-spectrum due to the loss of direct receptor binding cannabinoids such as THC, CBN or THCV.

Isolate CBD is made from whole-plant, but all cannabinoids and terpenes have been removed and only pure CBD remains. Isolate CBD, CBG or CBC do not contain controlled cannabinoids like THC, CBN or THCV. Therefore, they are not classed as schedule 1 drugs and may be sold as a food supplement.

Cannabis not only contains cannabinoids, but also other chemicals called terpenes (which give smell) and flavonoids (which give colour).

There are over 160 cannabinoids, in addition to CBD and THC, as well as over 100 terpenes and flavonoids. It is thought that the full plant with all those components in various proportions give a better medical effect than the individual parts.

That is the entourage effect. At TT we believe that you can enhance this effect by using our minor cannabinoid isolate and terpene blends to increase the amount of these amazing compounds.

Always consult with a medical professional if you are on medication and are thinking of taking CBG, CBD, CBC or our Terpene blends.

Always consult with a medical professional if you are thinking of taking CBG, CBD or CBC. The current guidelines are not to take these compounds while pregnant. We also recommend not to take our terpene blends while pregnant.

Our products are safe for 2 years after production, if kept out of direct sunlight.

Be consistent and think about what you are hoping to achieve. We have made products that we know work for us and lots of people close to us. Everyone has a different body and a different system however and cannabinoids and terpenes may not be as successful for some people than others. Keep a journal on your dosage and products used, tailoring your dosage until you reach the result you want.

This is the body’s own “cannabis” system. We all have cannabinoid nerve receptors in our brain and elsewhere in the body. We produce chemicals, called endocannabinoids, which lock on to those receptors and perform vital functions. This system is responsible for such things as pain control, mood control, anti-inflammation response, control of bodily movement, epilepsy, etc. The plant cannabinoids, called phytocannbinoids, help that system by also locking on to those receptors. This is why cannabis has so many potential uses.

This is a carrier oil, which helps to enhance the availability of the cannabinoids after consumption. It’s usually found in coconut Oil as more than 50% of coconut oil comes from MCT, but they are also found in many other foods like palm oil and dairy products. Our MCT is organic and is exclusively made from coconuts.
