Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Spectrum CBD, THC-Free CBD, Delta-8 THC, CBD Savings Programs & CBD Discounts.

Are C4 Healthlabs™ CBD Oils organic?

Our growers believe that any hemp crop grown for consumption by people or animals should be grown without the use of insecticides, herbicides or micro-biocides. Our hemp crops are nourished with the goodness of organic fertilizers and lactose probiotics (raw milk). This dedication to organic farming improves both the quality of our crops and the soil in which it’s grown. Learn more about our farm-to-bottle process.

Will C4 Healthlabs™ CBD products cause me to fail a drug test?

All C4 Healthlabs™ CBD products are derived from hemp and contain less than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the federal legal limit. This is a very small amount and not enough to produce intoxicating effects.

However, because trace levels of THC are naturally present in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum hemp extracts, there is always a small possibility that using CBD products could result in a positive drug test, especially with frequent or high-dose use.

If you are subject to workplace or athletic drug testing, we recommend speaking with your physician or healthcare provider before using any hemp-derived CBD products.

Will C4 Healthlabs™ Zero-THC CBD products cause me to fail a drug test?

C4 Healthlabs™ Zero-THC CBD products are carefully formulated using broad-spectrum hemp extract that contains no detectable THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Because these products are completely THC-free, the risk of failing a drug test is extremely low.

Our THC-free CBD line allows you to experience the natural benefits of cannabinoids—such as balance, calm, and recovery, without the concern of THC exposure. Each batch is third-party tested to verify purity, potency, and the absence of detectable THC.

While no CBD product can ever guarantee a specific drug test result, our Zero-THC formulas are designed for individuals who want to enjoy CBD without worrying about THC or drug testing. If you have ongoing testing requirements, consult your healthcare provider before use.

 

Are there any side effects of using CBD Oil?

Yes, there are some side effect on using CBD oil, however most of them are mild.  Please refer to our blog explaining side effects further: Side Effects blog

Who is C4 Healthlabs™?

C4 Healthlabs™ was founded by a team of health professionals and advocates dedicated to helping others actively participate in their wellness. One of the founders of C4 Healthlabs™ began researching CBD oil for his son as an additional treatment for the symptoms of Autism. When he found few products that worked, and minimal resources to assist him with decision making, he realized there was a major void in the market for those seeking to make informed and confident decisions regarding CBD.

With his more than 25 years of clinical experience, and a master’s degree in herbology and oriental medicine, he began researching cannabidiol as a therapeutic agent. An intensive study showed that CBD oil quality was truly dependent upon the health and handling of the plant, from seed to processing. His mission for C4 Healthlabs was to produce and make available to others high-quality CBD oil specifically formulated for therapeutic effect.

C4 Healthlabs™ has grown to include additional wellness supplements, including Liposomal vitamins, and its community includes thousands of members across the world who are dedicated to taking their health into their own hands.

How should I store my C4 Healthlabs™ products?

C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oils do not require refrigeration, but if you prefer taking CBD oil chilled you can refrigerate it without impacting the product potency. We recommend storing your C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oil upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Once opened, C4 Healthlabs™ Liposomal Vitamin C and Liposomal Vitamin B-Complex require refrigeration. If you decide to travel with your liposomal vitamins, be sure to carry them in a cooler with an ice pack, and immediately refrigerate upon arrival to your destination.

C4 Healthlabs™ Liposomal Vitamin C bottles are triple-sealed before shipping; a safety seal on the outside that is removed before use, a second seal on the top of the bottle, also removed before use, and a third seal inside the bottle top, which is to remain in the top to prevent leakage. Use caution to keep liposomal vitamin C upright during travel.

What is hemp extract?

Hemp extract is a concentrate made from a very important step in the C4 Healthlabs’ “therapeutic process”.   This preparation method is the way C4 Healthlabs collects the phytocannabinoids that are then made part of the final CBD oil.

What is Hemp Oil?

Hemp oil or hemp seed oil is made by cold pressing hemp seeds.  This oil is used in many areas of manufacturing as well as lotions and creams.   A good quality hemp oil can be used in cooking and other food preparations.   Some unscrupulous people or business are buying hemp seed oil in bulk and touting it as CBD oil.  C4 Healthlabs has uncovered numerous sellers on popular selling sites doing this and even some very deceptive websites.

What is cannabidiol (CBD)?

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is one of more than 100 naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating and is valued for its potential to support balance and wellness within the body. When carefully extracted and processed from hemp, CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate functions such as mood, sleep, inflammation, and immune response.

What is CBD oil?

“CBD” or cannabidiol are the same thing.  Cannabidiol is a very powerful phytocannabinoid found the sativa hemp plant and when processed correctly can be extremely therapeutic to the human body.   Humans has a vast network of receptors, called the endocannabinoid system, and the system can “short circuit” due to injury, inflammation and other types of disruptions or “Dis-Ease”.  Click here to learn more about the Endocannabinoid System.

What are cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are a group of fatty compounds found in hemp plant and are found in the human body.  So far there have been more than 80 cannabinoids identified.  Cannabinoids have shown to stimulate and support the endocannabinoid system in the human body.  Basically, the endocannabinoid system can “short circuit” due to injuries, inflammation, infections, environmental effects and nervous system disorders.   The Cannabinoids can complete the “circuit” and aid the body in trying to restore the disruption.

What is the Endocannabinoid System?

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a complex network of receptors, enzymes, and natural cannabinoids that helps the body maintain balance, or homeostasis. It plays a vital role in regulating functions such as mood, sleep, immune response, inflammation, metabolism, and energy levels.

The ECS is active throughout the central nervous system, immune system, and many organs and tissues. When it functions properly, it helps the body respond to stress and maintain overall wellness.

C4 Healthlabs’ CBD products are formulated to naturally support the Endocannabinoid System, helping to promote optimal balance and enhance the body’s ability to function at its best.

 

What is the Entourage Effect?

Entourage or support effect is a just a way of saying that all the compound in a properly made CBD oil product work in a cohesive and cumulative way on the human body.  In short, breaking down the components of the CBD oil into individual compounds may aid the body some, however when taking a full spectrum or complete product will have a more powerful therapeutic effect.

Can my dog take C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oil?

Yes! Refer to CBD for Pets blog

How should I decide what C4 Healthlabs™ product is best for my dog?

Yes, and at C4 Healthlabs we have heard some amazing stories of transformations in some pet’s health.  The range of ailments is from arthritis, skin conditions and anxiety.  All of the sublingual products can be given to pets and please read the blog below on dosage recommendations.  Link to CBD for Pets blog

What is the difference between C4 Healthlabs™ 500mg, 1000mg and 2000mg CBD oil?

Our products are all derivatives of our core base 2000mg CBD oil.   Basically, the 1000mg is cut in half with MCT oil to lower the milligram per bottle and then cut down again to produce our 500mg product.   Depending on how and what our customers are using CBD oil will determine which strength to use.

How much CBD is in each serving of C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oil?

Please refer to our CBD 101 for exact measurements of CBD based on different servings sizes.

What extraction process is used for C4 Healthlabs™ full spectrum CBD products?

C4 Healthlabs uses a two-step process that combines the use of organic Ethanol — because of its effectiveness, efficiency, and safety — and the use of MCT oil, a derivative of coconut oil, and the most bio-available form of energy. This 36-hour proprietary two-step extraction and distillation process produces a superior CBD product that tastes great and works remarkably well. After extraction our CBD oils go through an additional 18-hour short-path distillation process.  C4 Healthlabs has a step by step blog describing every step or our process in the following link:  Plant & Production Matters blog

What extraction process is used for C4 Healthlabs™ THC-free CBD products?

C4 Healthlabs’ process begins with the initial wash, which is usually done with a mixture of acetic acid and other compounds.  The next step is separating the lipids, waxes, and fats from extracts, then a step is added to remove impurities left by the plant particles.  The chemicals used in the process need to be removed and this is completed using an extraction process with Rotary evaporators.  What is left is now a cannabis compound that need to be further purified and broken down into separate cannabinoids.  The separation is completed with a chromatography at different speeds then a final distillation.  What is left is a 99% pure CBD crystalline and now ready to put into an MCT suspension.  This final product is high in CBD with no THC or “THC Free”.

What is the difference between the C4 Healthlabs Full Spectrum and THC-free CBD oils?

Please refer to our blog: What is THC-Free CBD? blog

Do C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oils include a dropper with measurements?

Yes. Every C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oil includes a graduated dropper with serving measurements of 0.25 ml, 0.5 ml, 0.75 ml and 1 ml.

I can’t seem to fill the dropper to the 1mL serving when the bottle is low. Is this normal?

Yes. To remedy this, with the bottle closed, squeeze the rubber bulb two times (two quick pumps) to fill the dropper.

How many servings are in each bottle of C4 Healthlabs™ CBD Oil?

Each 30 ml bottle contains 30 1 ml servings.  Serving size is 1 ml or 1 full dropper.

Can the color of my C4 Healthlabs™ hemp extract CBD oil vary from batch to batch?

Yes, it’s normal for the color of your C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oil to vary slightly from one batch to another. Because our products are made from organic, full-spectrum hemp extract, natural factors like sunlight, rainfall, and temperature during the growing season can cause subtle differences in color, aroma, and flavor.

At C4 Healthlabs™, we prioritize consistency and purity by sourcing from a single farm, maintaining strict growing standards, and performing third-party lab testing on every batch. These rigorous quality-control measures ensure that while color or taste may vary slightly, the potency, cannabinoid profile, and effectiveness remain consistent in every bottle.

Can the smell and taste of my C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oils vary from batch to batch?

Yes. Although our double-distillation process results in pure cannabinoid oils that contain little-to-no residual hemp flavor or aroma, occasionally a batch may result in a little higher potency (higher CBD concentration) which can affect the taste and aroma of our CBD oils. When this happens, you may notice a slight musky or earthy aroma to our CBD oils, but this is generally undetectable when taken sublingually under the tongue, away from the taste buds. This varying level of CBD concentration occurs naturally during the extraction process, but we always guarantee the potency to be at or above the label claim.

Our Citrus CBD oils are flavored with a therapeutic-grade orange essential oil, cold-pressed from the peel.  If you prefer another flavor, you may purchase a therapeutic-grade essential oil from your local health food store and add a few drops (5-10 drops) to our Natural (unflavored) CBD oil. Just be certain that what you purchase is a “therapeutic-grade” essential oil that is intended to be taken internally. One brand that is widely available in many health food stores or through an independent representative is d?TERRA. Look for the symbol on their products with the letter “I” for products that can be taken internally.

Which C4 Healthlabs™ product is right product for me?

This question is most likely one of the most popular questions we receive, and, in some cases, there is not an easy answer. There are many factors in dosing: age, weight, health condition(s), prescription drugs, constitution, and each person metabolizes CBD oil differently. The basic rule of thumb is the more chronic and severe the condition the more milligrams or higher potency may be needed.

In a few cases a customer has started with a lower strength and was either seeing little results or no results.  After increasing the dose, or adding another dose in the day, a significant difference is observed.  C4 Healthlabs 1000mg seems to the a relatively good product to begin a CBD regimen. After charting your response to different dosages, the dose can be adjusted up or down as needed. Of course, we always recommend consulting with your doctor before beginning a CBD regimen, especially if you have a serious illness or take prescription medications.

How does full spectrum CBD work?

Full spectrum CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps regulate balance in areas like stress response, sleep, discomfort, immune function, and mood.

Unlike CBD isolate, full spectrum CBD contains a range of naturally occurring hemp compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and trace amounts of THC (within legal limits). These compounds work together in what’s commonly called the entourage effect, meaning they may support each other’s effectiveness.

Instead of targeting one single pathway, full spectrum CBD supports the body’s ability to maintain overall balance (homeostasis), which is why people often use it as part of a daily wellness routine.

Is CBD safe to use daily?

For many people, CBD is considered safe for daily use when taken as directed and sourced from a reputable brand. Research and widespread consumer use suggest that consistent, low-to-moderate daily dosing is generally well tolerated.

That said, CBD can interact with certain medications, especially those processed by the liver. If you are pregnant, nursing, managing a medical condition, or taking prescription medications, it’s important to talk with your healthcare provider before using CBD regularly.

Daily use is often preferred because CBD works best when it builds up in the system over time, rather than being taken occasionally.

 

What is the best time of day to take CBD oil?

The best time of day to take CBD oil depends on your personal goals and how your body responds.

  • Morning use is common for people looking to support calm focus, stress management, or daytime balance.

  • Evening use may be helpful for those focused on relaxation, winding down, or supporting sleep routines.

  • Some people choose to split their dose, taking a smaller amount in the morning and evening for more consistent support throughout the day.

Because everyone’s endocannabinoid system is different, it may take a few days of experimentation to find the timing that works best for you.

 

Why doesn’t CBD work for everyone?

CBD doesn’t work the same way for everyone because each person’s body chemistry, endocannabinoid system, and lifestyle factors are different.

Some common reasons CBD may feel ineffective include:

  • Using a dose that’s too low

  • Inconsistent use

  • Low-quality or improperly formulated products

  • Expectations that CBD will act like a fast-acting medication rather than a wellness supplement

  • Individual differences in metabolism or ECS sensitivity

CBD is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Finding the right product, dose, and routine often makes a significant difference in results.

What are the ingredients in C4 Healthlabs™ Full Spectrum CBD Oils?

C4 Healthlabs™ Full Spectrum CBD Oils are crafted from organically grown, Tennessee hemp, never seed oil. Each bottle contains only two simple ingredients:

1. Organic full-spectrum hemp extract (CBD oil) – rich in naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes.

2. Organic MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) – a clean carrier oil that enhances absorption and bioavailability.

Our Citrus CBD Oil formula includes a third ingredient for natural flavor: therapeutic-grade orange essential oil, cold-pressed from the peel.

C4 Healthlabs™ CBD oils contain no sugars, dyes, or artificial ingredients—only pure, plant-based goodness. Through our proprietary extraction and double-distillation process, we produce CBD oils that are over 99% pure and virtually tasteless and odorless, with consistent potency and clean results in every batch.

 

What are the ingredients in C4 Healthlabs™ THC-free CBD Oil?

All C4 Healthlabs™ THC-free CBD oils are made from hemp plants grown exclusively in the USA and contain absolutely no seed oil. They contain two ingredients; hemp-derived CBD oil and organic MCT oil. Our citrus CBD oils contain a third ingredient for flavor — therapeutic-grade orange essential oil, cold-pressed from the peel. Our CBD oils do not contain sugars, dyes or artificial ingredients.

We use a proprietary process that allows us to isolate the CBD from the hemp extract, leaving the THC behind. Our THC-free CBD oils are over 99% pure and contain little-to-no residual hemp flavor or aroma, so they’re virtually tasteless and odorless.

Can I take C4 Healthlabs™ CBD Oil with prescription medications?

Please consult your physician or health care provider before adding CBD oil to any treatment protocol.  There are some interactions with certain prescription medications and C4 Healthlabs has a link below describing in more detail some of the side effects and interactions. Click here to read Side Effects blog

What does “Liposomal” mean?

Liposomal encapsulation consists of microscopic healthy fat particles called “liposomes” which are made up of phospholipids that allow water-soluble vitamins and minerals, nutrients, and bio-active compounds to be delivered through the bloodstream in small amounts down to intracellular level.
Click here to learn more about Liposomal encapsulation technology and C4 Healthlabs™ Liposomal Vitamin C and Liposomal Vitamin B-Complex.

How do Liposomal Vitamins differ from other vitamins and supplements?

The liposomal encapsulation process overcomes cellular absorption barriers by enabling vitamins and other compounds to pass through the digestive system intact, without being affected by the digestive juices, and deliver nutrients effectively through the bloodstream into the cells where they are needed most. This method of ingestion can increase by 100-fold the intracellular delivery of water-soluble supplements such as Vitamin C, B Vitamins, Curcumin (the biologically-active polyphenolic compound found in turmeric) and CoQ10.
