Before you buy

Shopping with CBD Armour

Choosing between full and broad spectrum

The biggest decision is the oil type. The Raw and Original range is described as full spectrum, with an earthy, hemp-like taste from organic hemp seed oil as the carrier. The Cool and Fresh range is described as broad spectrum, uses MCT oil as the carrier and has a peppermint flavour. If the earthy taste puts you off, the mint option is the more practical starting point.

Picking a format that fits your routine

Oils come in 5%, 10% and 30% strengths across 10ml and 30ml sizes, so you can match the strength to how you plan to measure doses. Capsules are unflavoured, which suits anyone who dislikes the taste of oil. Gummies are pre-measured, with each gummy listed at 10mg CBD. Creams, soap and bath bombs are a separate category for topical use rather than ingestion.

Checking the paperwork before you buy

The lab reports page holds batch certificates of analysis, and the site explains how to match a report to the batch code on your bottle. Read what each document actually shows for the product you are buying. Where a product is listed on the Food Standards Agency CBD register, check that the exact product name and pack size match the entry rather than assuming approval covers the whole range.

Getting help before you order

The brand asks customers with pregnancy, nursing, prescription medicines or a medical condition to speak to a professional first. Questions about the range can go to the customer team by email or phone on weekday business hours, and wholesale enquiries have a separate route.
