CBD Oil: Finding the Right Formula for Your Wellness Routine
CBD oil remains one of the most popular and versatile ways to enjoy the benefits of hemp. Whether you're looking for a simple daily wellness routine, a THC-free option, or a more complete full-spectrum experience, choosing the right formula can make a meaningful difference.
At Innovative CBD, we've spent more than a decade developing premium hemp products using carefully selected extraction methods that preserve the naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds found in hemp. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, we've created several CBD oil formulas designed to meet different goals, preferences, and lifestyles.
On this page, you'll learn what CBD oil is, how it works, the differences between full spectrum and broad spectrum formulas, why our extraction process matters, and how to choose the best CBD oil for your needs.
What is CBD Oil?
CBD oil is a hemp extract rich in naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial plant compounds. Unlike hemp seed oil, which contains nutritional fats but very few cannabinoids, CBD oil is produced from the flowers and aerial parts of the hemp plant where these naturally occurring compounds are most concentrated.
Most CBD oils are taken sublingually by placing the desired serving under the tongue and holding it for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. This allows the cannabinoids to be absorbed through the tissues in the mouth before entering the digestive system, making tinctures one of the most convenient and popular ways to incorporate hemp into a daily wellness routine.
Today, CBD oils are available in several different formulations—including full spectrum, broad spectrum, and CBD isolate—allowing customers to choose the option that best fits their preferences.
What Is the Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect describes the way naturally occurring compounds in hemp—including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids—work together rather than in isolation. While each compound has its own unique properties, many researchers believe these plant compounds complement one another to create a more complete hemp experience than isolated CBD alone.
At Innovative CBD, preserving these naturally occurring compounds has been a guiding principle since the beginning. Rather than heavily refining our hemp extract, we've developed extraction methods designed to retain as much of the plant's original cannabinoid and terpene profile as possible.
Our Professional CBD + CBDa products go one step further through our proprietary Innovative Synergistically Present Molecular Preservation (ISPMP) extraction process. This carefully developed CO₂ extraction method helps preserve delicate cannabinoids—including CBD and CBDa—along with naturally occurring terpenes to deliver one of our most complete full-spectrum hemp extracts.
What Is the ISPMP Extraction Process and Why Does It Matter?
At Innovative CBD, we believe the quality of a hemp extract is determined long before it reaches the bottle. Cannabinoids and terpenes are naturally delicate compounds, and many conventional extraction and refinement methods can reduce or remove them during processing.
That's why our founder, Dave Hargett, spent years developing our proprietary Innovative Synergistically Present Molecular Preservation (ISPMP) extraction process. Using carefully controlled, solvent-free CO₂ extraction, ISPMP is designed to preserve the plant's naturally occurring cannabinoid profile—including both raw CBDa and activated CBD—along with valuable terpenes and other beneficial plant compounds.
The result is one of our most complete full-spectrum hemp extracts, available exclusively in our Professional CBD + CBDa product line. For customers looking for an affordable alternative, our Basics and Broad Spectrum CBD oils use carefully selected ethanol extraction methods while still delivering clean, dependable hemp products.
Whether you choose our Professional or Everyday formulas, every batch is independently lab tested for quality, purity, and consistency, so you can feel confident knowing exactly what you're putting into your body.
How Does CBD Oil Work?
CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a complex cell-signaling network that helps regulate many everyday functions, including mood, sleep, discomfort, immune response, and overall balance. The ECS is found throughout the body and plays an important role in maintaining internal equilibrium, also known as homeostasis.
While research into cannabinoids continues to evolve, many people choose CBD oil as part of their daily wellness routine because it offers a convenient way to incorporate naturally occurring hemp compounds into their lifestyle. Every person responds differently, which is why many customers begin with a lower serving and gradually adjust based on their individual preferences.
People commonly use CBD oil as part of routines that support:
- Everyday stress management
- Rest and relaxation
- Post-workout recovery
- General wellness and balance
- Maintaining an active lifestyle
- A consistent daily self-care routine
CBD oil is easy to customize because serving sizes can be adjusted to fit individual needs. As with any dietary supplement, it's always a good idea to consult your healthcare provider before adding CBD to your wellness routine, especially if you take prescription medications or have existing medical conditions.

Your CBD Questions, Answered
What is different about your professional line?
The cannabinoids and terpenes in hemp provide most of the wellness benefits. These compounds are fragile. Too much movement, too high a heat, or too heavy a chemical removal process destroys them. We use a special extraction method, ISPMP Extraction Process, which preserves the compounds with a solventless removal system using C02. This careful technique allows us to provide the most synergistically complete product available.
Why does the broad spectrum use beta caryophyllene?
We add the natural terpene, which also serves as a cannabinoid and interacts with the endocannabinoid system to improve the synergistic effect of the broad spectrum. You may wonder how this is possible! Beta caryophyllene naturally occurs outside of hemp, which is unique for a phytocannabinoid. Adding it to our broad-spectrum can restore some of the lost balance by removing the THC.
Can I just give my pet the broad spectrum?
No! Although animals and people have endocannabinoid systems, they do not need the same amount. Our pet formula is a blend with the right strength for your cat or dog. Additionally, there are no flavors or other additives. Even something as simple as a peppermint flavor is dangerous, even deadly, for your pet!
What is CBD Oil Made From?
CBD oil is made from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the hemp plant, which naturally contain cannabidiol (CBD). The CBD is carefully extracted using safe methods like CO2 extraction and then blended with a carrier oil such as hemp seed oil or MCT oil to create a product that is easy to use and absorb.
How to Use CBD
CBD can be used in several ways depending on the product you choose. CBD oil tinctures are typically taken under the tongue, capsules provide convenient pre-measured servings, topicals are applied directly to the skin, and edibles offer another easy option. Start with a lower serving and gradually adjust until you find what works best for your individual wellness routine.
How Much CBD Should I Take?
There is no one-size-fits-all serving for CBD. The ideal amount depends on factors such as body weight, metabolism, product strength, and your personal wellness goals. Many customers begin with a lower serving and gradually adjust until they find the amount that best fits their needs. Always follow the serving guidance on the product label and consult your healthcare provider if you have questions.
How Does CBD Oil Work?
CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a natural cell-signaling network involved in maintaining balance throughout the body. The ECS helps regulate functions such as mood, sleep, immune response, and discomfort perception. Many people choose CBD as part of their daily wellness routine because of its interaction with this system.
How Much THC is in CBD Oil?
The amount of THC depends on the formula. Our full spectrum CBD oils contain less than 0.3% hemp-derived THC, while our Broad Spectrum CBD Oil contains no detectable THC. Every batch is independently tested, and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available so you can verify cannabinoid content.
Where to Buy CBD
Purchase CBD from companies that provide independent third-party lab testing, clearly list ingredients, and are transparent about their extraction methods. At Innovative CBD, every batch is lab tested, and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are available to help you shop with confidence.
Can I use premium CBD products if I’m taking other medications?
If you take prescription medications or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before using CBD, as it may interact with certain medications.
How long does it take for premium CBD products to start working?
CBD oils taken under the tongue generally begin absorbing more quickly than edibles or capsules because they are absorbed through the tissues in the mouth. Capsules and edibles must first pass through the digestive system, while topical products work directly where they are applied. Individual experiences vary depending on the product and the person.
Why should I choose full spectrum CBD instead of CBD isolate?
Full spectrum CBD contains naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and additional plant compounds that work together as part of the entourage effect. CBD isolate contains only purified CBD. At Innovative CBD, we focus on preserving as much of the hemp plant's natural profile as possible to provide a more complete hemp experience.
How should I store my premium CBD products?
Store CBD products in a cool, dark, and dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to help preserve freshness and potency. Proper storage helps maintain the quality and consistency of your CBD products throughout their shelf life.
How should I choose the right premium CBD product for my needs?
Choosing the right CBD product starts with your wellness goals. CBD oil tinctures offer flexible serving sizes and fast sublingual absorption, while capsules provide convenient pre-measured servings for daily use. Topicals are ideal for targeted application, and edibles offer another simple way to enjoy hemp-derived cannabinoids. Consider the product's cannabinoid profile, strength, extraction method, and third-party lab testing to find the formula that best fits your lifestyle.
