(Newswire.net — May 30, 2019) — If you’re in the health and lifestyle business, then you have probably heard of CBD, but you might still have questions. After all, CBD was a virtual unknown just a few years ago. Today, it’s everywhere. You’ll find it in tinctures, in gummies and other edibles, and even infused into coffees and cocktails at cafes and bars. What’s going on? Where did CBD come from? And, most important, what might CBD mean for your business? Here’s what you need to know about CBD and the health and lifestyle business.
CBD’s list of benefits is still being studied and expanded
If you’ve been in the health and lifestyle business for a while, then you know that certain products really get customers fired up. Your customers want the latest and best healthy thing. They seek out the one with proven health benefits, sure, but also the one that is so versatile that we don’t even know everything it does yet.
CBD fits the bill. Studies have linked CBD to powerful health benefits like the reduction of anxiety and the suppression of seizures. But other benefits are still being discovered, and lots of studies are in the works to nail down things such as dosages and degrees of effect.
CBD still has an air of mystery around it, but it is also a proven healthy supplement.
Customers want their CBD
No surprises here. CBD is big. It’s healthy, cutting-edge (so cutting-edge that, as we laid out above, we’re still learning many more things about it), and just plain cool. Look at any measure of CBD’s popularity, from search engine trends to sales figures, and two big things will jump out at you: First, CBD is extremely popular, and second, CBD has gotten a whole lot more popular in a short period of time.
Consumers are reading about CBD’s health benefits. If they’re not already crazy about CBD themselves, then they’re reading articles about how their friends and neighbors are getting into CBD. And CBD is also, no doubt, helped along by its association with another extremely popular (and very much in vogue) sort of product: marijuana.
CBD (its full name is “cannabidiol”) is derived from the drug marijuana (though, unlike other active ingredients found in marijuana, including THC, CBD will not get you high on its own) and is benefiting from the increasing interest in marijuana as a wellness product (as well as an explosion of interest in hemp). But thanks to some significant differences between marijuana and concentrated CBD, the latter is much more widely legal.
Your business can carry many forms of CBD
CBD is booming, and many CBD wholesalers are starting to pop up to meet demand. But can your health and lifestyle business benefit?
The short answer is: Very likely. CBD is widely legal: The substance is legal or de facto legal just about everywhere in the United States. Unlike THC or marijuana, which get you high, CBD is shrugged off by regulators and naysayers, and it has taken a position as a popular supplement and health additive to things as diverse as gummy bears and cocktails.
It’s easy for health and wellness businesses around the country to stock CBD, explain the experts at the aptly named CBD distribution company Stock CBD Supplements. Just work with a trusted supplier to get pure and legal CBD products onto your shelves, and keep prices low enough to compete with online suppliers.
Customers — your customers — are clamoring for CBD. So this is the time to make sure that your health and wellness business is taking full advantage of the CBD craze.
