    Can anyone recommend a decent place to buy CBD oil for reasonable value ?
    I had been getting it from Holland and Barrett but its 40 odd quid for a tiny bottle.




    https://dutchnaturalhealing.com/en/cbd-oil-10-ml-p95c60.html


    dutch natural healing a very good brand, very concentrated oil. you use 1-2 drops a go instead of an entire dropper so one 30 euro bottle will last you well over a month, easily


    you can also purchase it from hemp company on capel st (i think that's where they are, only ever order online) https://hempcompany.ie/product/dutch-natural-healing-cbd-oil-10ml/?v=884546945267
    they buy the raw materials from dutchnaturalhealing and make their own version of it afaik, or maybe it's just a wholesaler/branding deal. exact same product either way

    the only issue with this oil is that it's so concentrated you have to place the bottle in a glass/cup of hot water for a minute or two before you use it as it's almost a solid at room temp.



    they also have a spray that you can just spray into your mouth like a breath freshner. it's water soluble so you dont have to hold it under your tongue but it's quite a bit more expensive. Convenient though.

    there's also a more expensive oil called gold edition. This is a more concentrated version of the oil above but it's made with hemp oil as a carrier so it is liquid at room temp and doesn't need to be heated before use. I like this one but it's bloody expensive and I can rarely justify the cost.

    This is good info.

    I bought some from hempture, grown and produced in Ireland, I think Wicklow, but it's only 3%.

    I am on the lookout for some good quality/legit stuff, so will definitely look up those brands.

    Thanks so much, it’s for a close friend.
    Funny enough the H&B stuff is actually working really well but it’s expensive.
    Luckily getting it at half price sometimes.
    Currently half price at the moment.

    Yeah. They buckled under the pressure.
    A shame as vitamins and supplements are a scam. Pointless and unnecessary in the vast majority of cases.

    Tesco already increased their prices.

    1000mg Vitamin C 1.29 to 1.45

    1000mg Omega 3 Oil 2.85 to 3.85

    Wonder will they reduce them now

    If your goal is health check this, also don't forget if your goal is aesthetics, good aesthetics will naturally come with good health :)

    I love it!

    I've been looking at the protein explosion over the last few years wondering was it just the latest rubbish trend.

    The protein shake = muscle concept is nonsense. Marketers are putting protein on everything, including Snickers bars, to appeal to the moron demographic.

    But there is nothing faddy about getting enough protein on board.

    Supplements should be treated as just that: a supplement to your diet.

    My OH and I are both on vitamin supplements recommended by consultants as complementary to the prescription medications we're on (for severe arthritis and an esophageal condition that permanently limits what can physically be swallowed and the extent to which it can be digested.) You may not need anything and more luck to you, but don't label it all as "pointless and unnecessary" when you don't know other peoples health circumstances.

    Boots have 3 for 2 on vitamins at the moment, if nothing else, pick up some cheap B12 or something and let the placebo effect do its magic!

    That chap should probably have thought through his argument a little better.

    The only relevant point in there was the quantity of protein required per lb/kg of body. A meta-analysis would indicate that the absolute maximum would be 0.82 g/lb but a lot of studies indicate it's 0.64 g/lb. So his figures are a little off but at least it's in some way relevant.

    Talking about Kwashiorkor and breast milk is a little bit bullsh*tty.

    You're the perfect example of someone going around looking to be offended. So so common nowadays.

    Do you both have the esophageal condition?

    You could not be further from the truth if you tried and I'm at a loss at why you're taking such an aggressive tone with my post. All I was saying was that everybody's circumstances are different and that I don't concur with someone writing anything off as pointless simply because they themselves have no need of it. I don't think advocating considering other peoples circumstances in life makes me a snowflake. If anything you're the one who seems to have taken offence here for some reason.

    And while I did raise the subject of medical conditions to try to make the point my OH and I weren't just on a bender at the supplements shelf for the fun of it, I don't appreciate your attempt to further question me on who has what. None of your business.
