What's the difference between Hemp Extract (Aerial Parts) and CBD (Cannabidiol)?

You may have noticed on your label that Aerial plant parts or Hemp Extract is listed separately from the CBD or Cannabidiol. 

CBD that is legal under federal law is extracted from the Hemp Plant.

The only parts of the hemp plant that contain CBD are the stem, stalks, leaves, and flowers — not the seeds - these are the “Aerial plant parts”. 

What you want to look for on your label is, the amount of CBD or cannabidiol. We list the Hemp Extract (aerial parts) on the product label, and this simply means that the CBD was extracted from the whole plant.

Products derived from hemp seeds and roots contain other cannabinoids, but no CBD. Any products listed as being made from hemp seeds, hemp seed oil probably do not contain CBD.
