Verum Viridi Fungi CBD - 10 ml

More about Verum Viridi Fungi CBD Oil

How does this oil work?

CBD and CBDA are both cannabinoids derived from the hemp plant. CBD is the decarboxylated form that has already been extensively studied. CBDA is the precursor, the acidic form, that occurs in the plant before heating. Both substances interact with the endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors involved in mood, pain perception, and immune regulation, among other things. Whether the combination of both substances offers added value compared to CBD alone is still being investigated, but interest in CBDA is growing.

The four mushroom extracts add another dimension. Reishi has been known for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as an adaptogen. Chaga is rich in antioxidants. Maitake contains beta-glucans that can support the immune system. Cordyceps is traditionally associated with stamina and energy levels. Users report that the combination with CBD feels more calming than CBD alone, though individual response depends heavily on dosage and personal sensitivity.

Dosage and Use

Start with 2 drops twice daily and increase the dose over the course of a week if you don’t notice any effect. The maximum dosage is 15 drops per 24-hour period. Hold the drops under your tongue for at least one minute to allow absorption through the oral mucosa. This bypasses first-pass metabolism in the liver and increases bioavailability. Do not take the oil immediately after a fatty meal: MCT oil is absorbed less quickly under these conditions.

Combinations and Precautions

CBD inhibits certain liver enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2D6) that are also responsible for the breakdown of many common medications, including antidepressants, blood thinners, and antihistamines. If you are taking medication, consult your doctor before adding CBD to your routine. This product is not suitable for those under 18 and is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CBD and CBDA?

CBD is the decarboxylated form of cannabidiol, produced after heating the hemp plant. CBDA is the raw, unheated precursor. Both compounds have their own interaction profile with the endocannabinoid system. This oil contains both compounds, which may give it a broader effect than products containing only CBD.

Can I combine this oil with other supplements?

In most cases, yes. The mushroom extracts are dietary supplements with no known serious interactions. However, CBD can affect the effectiveness of certain medications. Do not combine this product with blood thinners, antifungals, or other medications without medical advice.

How long does it take before I notice an effect?

When taken sublingually, the effects are usually noticeable within 15 to 45 minutes. Long-term effects of CBD on, for example, sleep or mood are typically only reported after two to four weeks of consistent use. Start low and build up gradually.

Is this oil legal in the Netherlands?

Yes. The THC content is below the legal limit of 0.2%, making this product legal throughout Europe as a dietary supplement. It is not a medicine and is not sold as such.

What are beta-glucans and why are they included in this oil?

Beta-glucans are polysaccharides that occur naturally in mushrooms such as Maitake and Reishi. They are being studied in scientific research for their potential effect on the immune system. The extracts in this oil are standardized for their beta-glucan content.
