There is a huge choice of CBD products available online, but there are a few simple rules to follow to ensure you get your perfect product
People these days go online to make all sorts of purchases. In today’s digital world, this method of shopping has become increasingly popular. Whilst supporting our local shops is important, current circumstances including COVID safety, greater convenience and ease without the need to travel and queue, plus considerably more choice, this is hardly surprising.

As with any online payment, you need to ensure you are shopping safely. The Money Advice Service provides information on how to tell if a website is secure which you should always follow before providing card details online.
Generally, we would advise not to purchase supplements from companies that do not have a UK base. Every country has different rules and regulations relating to supplements and vitamins and you should ensure what you are purchasing meets UK guidelines. Additionally, the efficacy of the product is more likely to be questionable if purchasing from abroad: some overseas retailers sell poor standard products, sometimes padded out with fillers which could be damaging to your health.
When purchasing CBD products online, there are plenty of legitimate UK-based companies to choose from. Before you start looking at the different types of product, check to see if the company is registered with any of the UK industry trades associations such as CannaPro and the Cannabis Trades Association and/or check what certification processes they have in place for their products. MedterraCBD, for example, has its own Medical Advisory Board and is certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority Certification Program
