CBD oil shelf life

CBD oil - How long will it last?

An unopened bottle of CBD oil should be used for 18 to 24 months. After 24 months, the cannabinoids may begin to degrade, resulting in lower potency and less beneficial effects. After opening the bottle of CBD oil, this process will speed up; a bottle can last for around 6 months or more.

Which factors influence how long CBD oil will last?

CBD oil can last for a long, depending on the individual components that keep its integrity and composition. Oils that are made from the most popular oils contain hemp extract and an extra carrier, but some have additional items such as vitamins, terpenes, or flavorings. When they are extracted, how they were prepared and the quality of components can dramatically affect how long they will last. When one component begins to break down, it will affect the quality of all oil.

MyWeed CBD Oil does not contain additional elements such as flavorings, so the shelf life is from 18 to 24 months.

What are the methods for determining if CBD oil is bad?

A couple of things you must know. If your CBD oil has gone bad, then you will notice yourself:

Changes in the earthy smell: it becomes sharper and unpleasant.

On the surface, it is noticed that the color becomes darker, and the texture is sludgy and hard to pour.

As a result of this, the normal grassy taste changes and becomes completely unpalatable.

For every oil, this change is different but if you notice an unexpected difference in the appearance of flavor or smell, it’s likely begun to go off.

Can bad CBD oil make you feel sick?

A bad CBD oil that has gone bad is unlikely to make you sick or harmed, but you should still avoid it. As the ingredients break down, cannabinoid will change, and as it breaks down, the content of cannabinoids will change, and new chemical composition will not be able to provide the results you bought them for.

How to store CBD oil?

Although how and when CBD oil goes bad is unique for different brands. There are some simple things you can do to slow the process of going bad that should work for all types of CBD oil:

Store the bottle out of direct sunlight
