This carrier oil will differ between products. Typically, it would be a substance like hemp seed oil or coconut oil. CBD oil can be consumed in several different ways. It is found in various products such as drinks, food and dietary supplements to name a few. You can learn more about what CBD oil is through various online resources. 

Where Can You Purchase CBD Oil Products?
