Nanoemulsion is the process of breaking down a liquid substance into smaller, nano-sized particles. The average size of our CBD oil droplet is 25 nanometers, compared with 100-5000 nanometers that is usually obtained by using the industry standard liposomal delivery method. This makes our CBD completely water soluble which transforms active compounds into nano sized emulsions making them highly bioavailable within your body and more permeable when applied to the skin. This proprietary formulation has been designed for optimum bioavailability and maximum absorption.

All of the hemp we use in our products is grown in Colorado. Extraction methods maintain the full plant profile - ensuring customers a full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and fatty acids from the natural plant. Cold, enclosed, and continuous manufacturing processes prevents the degradation of natural molecules during extraction and purification. No harmful solvents are used in the processing of our CBD oil and the final product is completely solvent free.

The CBD in our Ultra Gels is extracted using food grade ethanol. This method of extraction allows us to retain more of the other cannabinoids from the hemp plant and round out the complexity of our supplements. After our low level THC oil is extracted, we filter it through a proprietary process to remove 100% of the THC without compromising any of the other 112 cannabinoids. The last phase is a purification process to remove any possible contaminants.

While there is no one-size-fits-all dosage or frequency that works for every athlete, what we have found is that an initial dosage of 25mg - 50mg taken daily in the first 2 weeks to a month will show noticeable effects on both your health and general well being. Once your body has adjusted to the addition of CBD supplementation, many of our athletes rely on a consistent 25mg dose per day. During periods of intense competition or training, our top athletes take upwards of 100mg per day to minimize muscle inflammation and injury while maximizing recovery. As always please talk to your doctor about your CBD dosage needs.

Being consistent with your CBD oil doses maximizes the natural balancing properties of the cannabinoids and the effectiveness of the body’s endocannabinoid system. Once absorbed by the body, CBD interacts with the cannabinoid receptors of the endocannabinoid system, a signaling network responsible for regulating and maintaining balance among an array of body processes. Many benefits of a highly functioning endocannabinoid system are not fully experienced right away. CBD, like all cannabinoids, build up in the body over time and can even stimulate an increase in cannabinoid receptors. With more cannabinoid receptors, the endocannabinoid system becomes more active and more sensitive to stimulation by cannabinoids. Consistently taking a “daily dose” of CBD oil helps maintain a sustained level of CBD in your system and promotes an effective endocannabinoid system.

Our products have no THC, the banned psychoactive component of cannabis. WADA has approved the use of CBD. Please refer to this article from WADA for more information. PLEASE NOTE: It’s your responsibility to ensure that CBD is allowed with your testing agency.

We recommend taking VengaCBD Ultra Gels on an EMPTY stomach. This ensures the maximum amount of CBD is absorbed into your system. This is counter to many CBD products on the market that are NOT water soluble. Products that are not water soluble can be fat soluble therefore it’s best to take with food.

Since Venga CBD products ARE water soluble, taking on an empty stomach is preferred.

We have the best CBD products on the market. Here are a few reasons why:

1. VengaCBD products are made within a vertically integrated system. What this means is that we own the farms and manufacturing facilities. We farm under strict guidelines using only 100% organic farming practices. All of our hemp is registered with the Colorado State Department of Agriculture and tested to ensure the THC levels are below .3%.
2. Our products are made with a patented nano-emulsified CBD. What this means is our CBD is water soluble resulting in a bioavailability of more than 85% compared to only 6%-15% bioavailability of typical CBD products.
3. Our medical grade CBD contains over 110 cannabinoids, 10 times that of typical industrial hemp while at the same time contains NO THC. This is NOT an isolate - our CBD is whole hemp plant CBD.
4. Our Ultra Gels have curcumin added as an additional anti-inflammatory.

Please check with your doctor. Let your doctor know that our Ultra Gel product contains curcumin (derived from turmeric) a strong anti-inflammatory and like Advil, can cause complications when used with blood thinners. Please consult your medical physician for any questions pertaining to the use of this product when used in addition to additional medications.

The actual timing for the product to begin working will vary depending upon the individual and his/her metabolism. We generally begin to see results in overall focus and energy within 2-3 weeks when eating right and taking the correct dosage of CBD daily.

The recommended consumption of our product is 2 pills per day. We suggest that you begin by taking one pill each day (with a meal) until your body adjusts to the product. Once you feel comfortable, you can begin to add an additional pill each day for improved results.

There is no set time for which you should begin taking this product. Rather, personal preference is advised. For best results please ensure the CBD is taken on an empty stomach. Should you decide to add an additional pill to your daily regimen (for a total of 2/day) you can take these together, or you may take one in the morning and one in the evening!

No! CBD is non-toxic, meaning no fatal overdose levels have ever been reported. Several studies have evaluated the safety of CBD in adults and concluded that it’s well tolerated across a wide range of doses – up to 1,500 mg/day – that’s a lot, way more than the average person would need!

There can be a few, but they are neither common nor serious.

• Drowsiness: Many people describe the effect of CBD as a ‘wave of relief’ or a ‘calming sensation.’ It's worth noting that these feelings can manifest as drowsiness in high doses.
• Dry Mouth: Recently, scientists confirmed that there are in fact cannabinoid receptors in the salivary glands of humans. CBD interacts with these cannabinoid receptors and inhibits the secretion of saliva – which can cause ‘cotton mouth’.
• Low Blood Pressure: Very high doses of CBD can induce a slight drop in blood pressure that is often associated with mild lightheadedness. Lightheadedness: As described above, some consumers experience mild feelings of lightheadedness as a result of the slight drop in blood pressure.
• Inhibition of Hepatic Drug Metabolism: This one sounds worse than it is. If you’ve ever heard a physician caution eating a grapefruit with certain medications, this is the same effect.

We’d also like to note that there are conflicting studies regarding CBD’s potential side effects when treating Parkinson’s disease. Several studies suggest that CBD is safe and well-tolerated by Parkinson’s patients. However, other studies concluded that high doses of CBD led to increased tremors and muscle movement in Parkinson’s patients. The moral of the story?

Start slow with low dosages and increase to tolerance. You have a higher likelihood of finding relief than experiencing discomfort.

Although these two oils are very different, it is not uncommon for one to be confused for the other.

Hemp oil, which comes from the seeds of the hemp plant, contains practically NO CBD.

Industrial hemp oil typically contains less than 25 parts per million, while CBD oil can be up to 90% CBD.

Hemp oil is used for cooking and is also an ingredient in lotions, soaps and even some foods, and while healthy, it has little to no medicinal value.

CBD oil, also known as Hemp Extract, is also a natural component of Industrial Hemp but is made from the flowers, leaves and stalks of hemp and not from its seeds like hemp oil. And without the typical intoxicating effects of marijuana, CBD is helpful in the treatment of various conditions including pain, inflammation, sleeplessness, anxiety and depression, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Warning: because the plants are related, some unscrupulous sellers of hemp oil are trying to market it for its medicinal value, which is negligible.
