The Best CBD Companies in Canada 2022: The Top 10

 

CBD oil products have become extremely popular in Canada in recent years with the passing of the Canadian Cannabis Act in 2018. This made both hemp and marijuana legal for medical and recreational purposes for adults 19 years of age and older (18 in Alberta and Quebec). This paved the way for CBD oil to be socially accepted as a natural health product and recognized for its various health benefits.

CBD oil has been shown to help alleviate chronic pain, depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, insomnia, and the list goes on. However, along with the increase in popularity and demand came numerous companies selling countless CBD products, all differing in their strength and composition.

For any person that is new to the CBD world, this can create confusion and feeling overwhelmed. To help make choosing the best CBD natural health product a bit easier, we have done the research and compiled a comprehensive list of the top 10 companies/products that are currently available in Canada.

 

Top 10 CBD Companies in Canada: The Best CBD Oil Products Available

Birch + Fog is a Vancouver based company focusing on “wellness first and indulgence second”. Their signature line consists of CBD capsules that cater to your individual needs. They have upgraded their original bestseller to include a new design, higher quality ingredients, and higher dosages, all without any additional cost to the consumer. You will find CBD/THC capsules for daytime and nighttime. Their daytime blend is a 3:1 ratio of CBD to THC Sativa that offers relaxation and relief. Their nighttime blend is also a 3:1 ratio of CBD to THC, however features THC Indica to assist with better sleep. Ratio blends encourage the entourage effect, where the compounds work synergistically, producing a better effect than taken alone.

These blends are designed with the following conditions in mind: autoimmune disorders, anxiety, depression, general aches and pains, and sleep disorders.

At Birch + Fog, they have also created an entire CBD capsule line with no added THC. However, due to being made with a high quality full-spectrum CBD oil, these products contain a small percentage of THC. These CBD capsules come in the following variations: Sleep, Calm, Relief, Natural, and Energize.

Let’s Get Into The Details! What Makes a Good CBD Oil Product and How Did We Choose?

 

Hemp Source:

It's crucial to choose the proper hemp source for an excellent CBD natural health product, not only for a full-spectrum oil. The hemp used by the companies we've picked is the best and most naturally obtained in the country. We investigated their hemp extraction sources, supply networks, and sustainability measures in place. Because the superiority of CBD oil products is so dependent on the quality of hemp utilized, it is the most essential factor to consider when making a decision.

Potencies:

You won't see any results if the CBD oil you're taking isn't powerful enough. Another essential factor to consider while looking for the finest full-spectrum CBD oil is potency. Potency is determined by its volume as well as its concentration. Although you may adjust your dose based on the potency of the oil, it is still recommended that you use oils with high potency to reduce the amount necessary.

Ingredients:

If the CBD natural health product contains any additional compounds, they must be pure and tested against the user's allergies. Poor CBD oil products, whether full-spectrum or not, will contain chemicals that are toxic or may cause unwanted side effects.

Apart from CBD, most full-spectrum CBD oil products include other substances. Terpenes and essential oils are present, but they're designed to act in conjunction with the CBD to improve the oil's effect. When looking for the best full-spectrum CBD oil, we looked at all of the components to make sure they were all safe. It should be noted, however, that you may be allergic to a certain component. This is why, before taking CBD oil, you should speak with your doctor.

Lab Results:

Because CBD oil products are currently unregulated, there's a good risk that businesses may add extra substances or low-quality compounds. To avoid being fooled, we examined their publicly available third-party test findings.

Third-party findings give an accurate assessment of a full-spectrum CBD oil's effectiveness, safety, and dependability. Any brand that did not provide a list of third-party results and certifications was immediately disqualified.

For more information on the importance of third-party lab testing, this article is extremely helpful.

Transparency:

Aside from third-party lab findings, there are other important aspects of a business that must be disclosed. They must be open and honest about their brand's history, internet reputation, and content on their website. All important information about supply chains and procedures will be on full display for anybody to read. We didn't include a brand on the list if we couldn't be certain of its transparency.

Company Experience:

No matter how excellent a full-spectrum oil is, if it's too pricey, unavailable, or tastes awful, there's no purpose in buying it. It's crucial to think about the shopping experience while selecting the best CBD natural health product.

We looked at things like the return policy, the flavor, the pricing, and the delivery rules. A company that is unable to meet a wide range of criteria is unable to meet the needs of its customers. We have ensured that the aforementioned businesses we have featured offer you the best shopping experience.

 

CBD Oil Products Come in Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, Isolate, and Nano. What Exactly Does this Mean?

 

Full Spectrum CBD:

Multiple cannabis plant components, such as essential oils, terpenes, and other cannabinoids, such as cannabinol, are included in full-spectrum CBD oil products. Up to 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabinoid in cannabis that makes people feel "high," may be present in full-spectrum CBD products. However, such a little amount is inadequate to have significant psychotropic effects. This form is the most commonly used CBD for pain due to its ability to cause the “entourage effect.”

Broad Spectrum CBD:

Although broad spectrum CBD comprises numerous cannabis plant components, it is generally THC-free. However, small quantities of THC may occasionally be found in broad spectrum CBD products.

CBD Isolate:

CBD isolate is a form of CBD that does not have any impurities. There are no extra cannabis plant components in it. It is mostly made from hemp plants, which have a low THC content. CBD isolate powder is a powdered form of CBD isolate, which is a crystal form of the substance. Another term for it is CBD crystals.

New to the market is Nano CBD:

Nano CBD refers to CBD molecules that have been shrunk to less than one millionth of their original size to enhance bioavailability and bioactivity inside the body's system. They are so small that they are able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier of our cells. Traditional CBD oil products have an absorption rate of 50%. Nano CBD has a 100% absorption rate. In addition to a higher absorption rate, effects of CBD are felt much faster than traditional CBD.

 

Why Choose a Full-Spectrum Natural CBD Health Product?

There are several additional cannabinoid chemicals from the cannabis plant in full spectrum CBD, as well as modest amounts of THC. Terpenes from the cannabis plant are also present in full spectrum CBD. Terpenes are responsible for the fragrance of plants. According to research, the "entourage effect" exists, which states that when several cannabis plant components are present with CBD extract, the CBD's health advantages are increased. Full spectrum products may increase the "entourage effect" since they contain chemicals other than CBD, such as THC. Full-spectrum CBD oil products have the following potential health benefits: antiseizure, antioxidant, antianxiety, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory. It may also help to relieve the symptoms of some mental disorders and muscular spasms.

 

Why Choose a CBD Isolate Natural CBD Health Product?

CBD isolate is made up entirely of CBD and includes no other cannabis-derived chemicals. CBD isolate products are a good option for people who want to avoid THC completely. A person can evaluate whether CBD alone successfully relieves their symptoms by using CBD isolate products, as there are no additional active components present that might interfere or conflict with its impact. CBD isolate products have been shown to help with the following conditions: anxiety, pain, inflammation, epilepsy, and cancer. A lot of people often choose this type of CBD for anxiety solely due to there being no risk for increased symptoms or psychoactive effects from traces of THC.

 

What is the Correct Dose For Me?

The correct dosage of full-spectrum CBD oil products will be dependent upon: weight, why you are taking the product, body chemistry, and method of ingestion/use.

It's advisable to start with a modest dosage if you're taking a CBD natural health product for the first time. You can gradually raise your dose until it reaches the ideal amount for your needs. If you're just going by body weight, 1mg of CBD per 10kg is a reasonable starting point. Starting with 5mg is a decent approximation if you don't want to calculate. You can gradually increase the dosage by 2mg each week until you find the right amount for you.

It's crucial to wait until your body has adjusted to CBD's effects. While CBD is non-toxic and unlikely to cause bodily harm, it might put you off balance. Because you're not acclimated to the consequences, you may not be as productive as you'd want or get the desired result.

If you are hesitant to do the math and calculate your own dose, Birch + Fog has created a handy dosage calculator. Simply click on the species (human, dog/cat, horse), scroll through the list of ailments and click on your main reason for taking the product. Then, identify the severity of your condition (mild/average/severe), and type in your weight. Lastly, you will add product specific details such as the size of the bottle and how many mg are in that product. In less than 30 seconds, you will be given an appropriate starting dose customized specifically to your unique body and health needs.

 

What Are the Benefits of CBD Oil Products?

 

CBD for Pain:

CBD is well-known and well-proven as a pain reliever. CBD oil products can help with headaches, chronic pain, arthritis, and menstrual cramps, among other things. CBD is available in cream and lotion form to treat muscular and joint pain caused by more severe diseases. CBD reduces pain and the experience of pain by activating the reuptake of the neurotransmitter adenosine in the brain, therefore increasing adenosine levels and decreasing pain perceptions. A CBD natural health product may also prevent pain signals from reaching brain processing regions by binding to TPRV1, a protein involved in pain and inflammation.

CBD for Anxiety and Depression:

Depression and anxiety are frequently seen together, and those who suffer from one are more likely to suffer from the other. A CBD natural health product will assist with both of these issues. People who took 600 milligrams (mg) of CBD had considerably less social anxiety than those who received a placebo, according to one research. Another research utilized a lower dosage of 300 mg and found that it decreased anxiety levels. Low serotonin levels have been linked to anxiety, therefore CBD's impact on serotonin receptors might explain some of these positive benefits. CBD appears to offer certain advantages over pharmaceutical antidepressant drugs when it comes to treating depression. The majority of antidepressants take weeks to start functioning. CBD, on the other hand, has a rapid and long-lasting antidepressant effect, according to a 2019 animal research. CBD may also have less negative side effects than antidepressants. Antidepressant side effects include insomnia, sexual dysfunction, mood changes, and irritability. CBD hasn't demonstrated any of these problems.

CBD for Sleep:

If your insomnia is caused by external events or diseases, using CBD for sleep may be able to address the underlying reasons. While CBD research is still in its early stages, some evidence shows numerous benefits when using CBD for anxiety. CBD was studied recently to determine whether it helps people sleep and or feel less anxious. The study included dozens of participants, 47 had anxiety and 25 had sleep issues. Each day, each of these participants were given about 25 milligrams (mg) of CBD in capsules. Patients reported immediate reduced anxiety levels and also improved sleeping patterns in the first month. 80% reported lowered anxiety levels and 67% reported improved sleep.

You may also use CBD for pain, which has been linked to sleep problems. According to a research published in Frontiers in Pharmacology in 2018, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that CBD reduces pain. CBD can help people sleep better by decreasing chronic discomfort, according to the authors. CBD has been shown to have an effect on the sleep cycle in other studies. Four Parkinson's disease patients were studied in a 2014 study. CBD oil products have shown to help with the symptoms of REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a disorder in which people act out their dreams. RBD is linked to insomnia and nightmares.

According to a 2017 study, using CBD for sleep may be beneficial in treating RBD, and it also has the potential to cure excessive daytime sleepiness. Another symptom of insomnia is grogginess, which CBD may help to alleviate. A 2014 study found that CBD oil products may have the capacity to improve wakefulness based on both human and animal research. The researchers stated that they had no idea how or why CBD boosted alertness in certain people.

How Do You Use CBD?

If you're ready to try CBD oil products, especially a full-spectrum CBD oil, you'll need to decide which form is best for you. CBD oil may be utilized in a variety of ways, each with their own unique set of benefits.

CBD Oils/Tinctures:

When shopping for a CBD natural health product, an oil or tincture is one of the most popular options. If you are unable to take a tablet or capsule, this is the option for you. Because it comes with a dropper, all you have to do now is figure out the ideal amount of drops. The oil is not only simple to use, but it is also highly concentrated. You may just slip this type of CBD beneath your tongue. Because full-spectrum oils include a variety of flavor characteristics, they are unlikely to be harsh.

Creams/Lotions:

CBD creams and lotions are readily available and useful to a diverse group of people. It's very useful for those who have joint and muscle pain. Using a cream made from CBD for pain relief allows targeted treatment for the area you need it most. Aside from muscular and joint discomfort, it also helps with a variety of skin problems. CBD creams and lotions have been shown to help with conditions including eczema. However, before attempting to cure your illness with CBD, you should consult with your doctor.

Capsules/Pills:

CBD can be consumed in the form of a capsule or a tablet. CBD in pill form is often used for more serious illnesses and neurological issues. CBD tablets and capsules may help with seizures and stomach issues. While this is a means of consuming CBD, the benefits may take longer to manifest than with other ways, like vaping or tinctures.

Edibles:

Edibles, such as CBD candies, are by far the most common CBD delivery route. They come in attractive forms and flavors, and they come in exact dosages that you can easily pop into your mouth every day. You'll also discover that the gummy form of CBD is less expensive than any of the other options on this list. They're considerably less noticeable and much easier to transport. You won't have to worry about hiding them. Edible CBD for anxiety is often used due to it being extremely portable and easily eaten discreetly in a public setting.

Vaping:

The quickest method to feel the benefits of CBD is to inhale CBD vapors. Through your lungs, the vapor enters your bloodstream. As a result, you'll notice results far sooner than if you used a cream or oil. You won't find any clear evidence that CBD vapor causes lung tissue damage, but there's also no evidence that it doesn't cause some damage. When vaping CBD, it is suggested that you use caution.

 

Are There Side Effects With a CBD Natural Health Product?

CBD is very popular for a variety of reasons, the most important of which being its complete lack of adverse effects. Because it is an all-natural substance, there are no significant negative effects that you will notice when compared to other drugs or alternatives.

You may notice some small side effects when you first start taking a CBD natural health product. Mild fatigue, a dry mouth, and drowsiness are frequent side effects that subside after a few weeks of using CBD oil products. Once you've become used to the amount and frequency of usage, the effects of CBD oils will go away on their own.

The absence of negative effects also applies to 'overdosing.' CBD oil is almost impossible to overdose on right now. You will not be in danger if you consume 700mg of CBD in any form in one sitting. The following are some of the probable adverse effects that may occur when you exceed 1500mg: diarrhea, fatigue, changes in appetite, nausea, anxiety, and dry mouth. If you're having any adverse effects, they should last no more than eight hours. Staying hydrated and eating, if you're able, will help you get through it. You can just sleep off the negative effects if that isn't an option.

In addition to being non-toxic, CBD oil products are also non-addictive. You won't experience any withdrawal symptoms if you use a CBD natural health product every day for a year and then decide to stop cold turkey. CBD, even full-spectrum CBD oils with a little amount of THC, have no addictive properties.
