Why I Choose Fringe CBD Products

The CBD industry has exponentially grown in the last few years. For good reason. There is powerful science in the cannabinoid system and how we can supplement to hack this for mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. However, with growth comes caveats. Unfortunately, many products play on marketing without science to back them up. Enter: Fringe. A company that's got it right.
Did you know that oil-based CBD products can take up to 4 hours to begin taking effect? Who has time for that?!
Did you also know that when you take an oil-based CBD, you get about 25% as much cannabinoid assimilation as when you take it in a water-soluble form? Why waste like that?!
How about ease of use and mixability? Water-soluble wins every time.
Meet Fringe.
Take it from me. I am a long-term user of oil-based CBD preparations. On top of never really being sure if they were “doing anything”, I frequently got oil somewhere on myself and then subsequently spent the rest of that day smelling of faint cannabis odor. As a healthcare provider, this is NOT ideal.
Further, we find that when you make it easy to take, patients stick to their regimen more.
Fringe perfectly fills this desire within our clinic.
I just took some. It immediately mixed into a glass of 8 ounces of water, and it had such a faint taste I almost thought I poured it on the floor instead of in my water.
How about the fact that, due to CBD’s fringe (pun) status within nationwide antiquated drug laws, there is often very little regulation within the CBD industry?
I don’t mean to be a jerk, but I am willing to go out on a limb to say that whatever CBD product you purchased at the local pot shop (or gas station, for that matter) won’t hold a candle to a product that has a label on which you can scan the QR code and read all about where it came from and how ‘clean’ it is.
That’s right. All Fringe products have a QR code you can scan. And no, this doesn’t bring you to your favorite restaurant’s menu. This brings you that unique product’s certificate of analysis. This document discusses what is in it that you want, and what is NOT in it and which you likely don’t want.
What you want to know?
· Cannabinoid composition of the product.
· Other cannabis-derived compounds. Things like terpenes.
· Are there gross things, like microbes, heavy metals, pesticides, etc?
The certificate of analysis, which you can find by taking a picture of the QR code unique to whichever product you have in front of you, tells you all of this. You can trust that WHAT you expect, is what you are getting. This is particularly relevant for individuals sensitive to THC, or within tight THC regulations.
You have evolved an entire neurotransmitter system whose activation has been deemed 'illegal' for the past 85 years.
When we talk about a ‘clean’ product, what else do we look for?
· No artificial flavors
· No artificial colors
· No artificial sweeteners or flavoring
· No preservatives
· No gluten, soy, or dairy
· Low/no sugar
You can add a green check mark to every single one of those stipulations in the Fringe oral CBD product line.
Fringe CBD products only use organic, non-GMO, USA grown hemp. The good stuff. They are 3rd party tested for potency, purity, heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides during production. Not once. Not twice, but three times during production.
This is quality control the CBD industry has been yearning for.
Additionally, Fringe is dedicated to the advancement of the study and understanding of the endocannabinoid system (we have written about this system previously). Not only are they clinicians and consumers; they are scientists and educators. Committed to helping us all build a better understanding of this plant, of these compounds, and of this area of natural medicine.
Quick effects, consistent dosing, ease of use, ‘clean’, quality control, education. I am IN.
