- The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires the statement in #9 to be displayed on any supplement which has not undergone studies consistent with FDA protocols. Currently, there are no applicable studies. Dyno Brands, LLC. does not endorse the benefits or detriments of CBD, if any. Rather, Dyno Brands, LLC. utilizes third-party, independent laboratories to batch test our products and expose the results of those tests to the consumer. The decision about the appropriateness of CBD for any application remains with the consumer and consumers are encouraged to seek information regarding the potential of CBD from alternative sources, including your medical or veterinary professional.
Any of various, naturally-occurring, biologically-active, chemical constituents (such as cannabidiol (CBD) or cannabinol (CBN) or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) of hemp or cannabis including some (such as CBN & THC) that possess psychoactive (intoxicating) properties and some (such as CBD) which do not possess psychoactive properties (nonintoxicating).
The term "psychoactive" is used in the context of getting the consumer "high". A synonymous term in the context used here is "intoxicating".
A crystalline, nonintoxicating cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp that is sometimes used medicinally.
Note: After THC, cannabidiol is the second most prevalent cannabinoid in cannabis.

Conclusions?
Any of a large group of volatile, unsaturated hydrocarbons found in the essential oils of plants, especially conifers and citrus trees. Terpenes are also found in hemp. Terpenes are the ingredient in some CBD products which are responsible for flavor and scent. The Platinum Pet Formula contains zero added terpenes.
Products that are CBD Isolate refer to isolated CBD molecule, in other words - pure CBD.
Full-spectrum CBD is also known as Broad-spectrum CBD. The term Full-spectrum references a product which contains all the cannabinoids that are found in the cannabis plant. Full-spectrum CBD products are associated with a coined phrase, "The Entourage Effect”. "The Entourage Effect" refers to a result from these products, presumably, caused by the combination of the different cannabinoids and terpenes.
It's reasonable to question what else, other than CBD, you are getting with a full-spectrum product. . . There are more than 100 different cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. CBD and THC are the most abundant cannabinoids in cannabis, but there are also several minor cannabinoids.
A mixture in which particles are dispersed throughout the bulk of a fluid. For example, 250mg CBD Isolate (particles) in 1oz of Organic Hemp Seed Oil (fluid) means there are 250mg of the isolated CBD molecule mixed with 1 ounce of organic hemp seed oil.
