ABC’S OF CBD
With more than 20 years of experience in the hemp foods business, from manufacturing to packaging
to distribution of our wide variety of products, Manitoba Harvest has become an unmatched leader in
transforming people’s lives through the power of hemp.
We are excited to share that now we’re using our expertise to create the highest-quality Broad Spectrum
Hemp Extract products available, so you can feel confi dent about enjoying hemp goodness in a whole new
way. We know a thing or two about hemp and we want you to know more about it too.
ABOUT CANNABIDIOLCBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the most versatile of the more than 100 chemical compounds known
as cannabinoids present in the hemp plant. Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract contains precise levels of
CBD from the fl owers and leaves of the hemp plant. All these elements in CBD interact with the human
body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to promote balance and wellbeing—naturally, gently, and safely.
Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract maintains non-detectable THC status, while delivering all the benefi ts
of hemp’s broad spectrum extracts. Manitoba Harvest Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract is made using
several organic ingredients, including Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Coconut MCT Oil and Organic
Peppermint Oil.
As the world leader in hemp foods, our goal is to equip nutrition thought leaders with facts about our
products by dispelling common myths about CBD and increasing knowledge of this growing industry and
confi dence in safely recommending it to your clientele and using it yourself.
BENEFITS OF CBD• Enhancing quality of life
• Helping with focus
• Quieting a busy mind
• Relieving everyday stress
• Recovering and restoring the body following workouts and physical activity
• Pain management
• Creating a sense of balance
C REDIBILITY & QUALITYThe CBD market is expanding rapidly and low quality products will continue to fl ood the market, using
dubious sources of hemp and questionable extraction and production methods. Ours is the only GRAS*
approved hemp food in North America and non-GMO certifi ed. At Manitoba Harvest, we are committed to
providing the highest quality CBD extract products available.
*Generally Recognized As Safe: a status label assigned by the FDA to a listing of substances (GRAS list) not known to be hazardous to health and thus approved for use in foods. Both Manitoba hemp food and Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract.
A CLOSER LOOK AT CBD & THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
WHAT IS THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM?
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is the human
body’s master regulatory system which is involved
in a variety of physiological processes including
appetite, immune function, energy, pain-sensation,
mood, and memory. This system includes:
• Endocannabinoids (signaling molecules naturally
produced by the body)
• Cannabinoid receptors throughout the body
• Enzymes that synthesize and break down
endocannabinoids
CBD interacts with the ECS to safely and naturally
support a sense of wellbeing.
Manitoba Harvest Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract contains precise levels of CBD, plus additional compounds
from the hemp plant that work together synergistically to support human health and equilibrium.
• Unlike hemp seed oil, our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract with CBD is made from the plant’s leaves and
flowers, which are abundant in cannabinoids and terpenes.
• Flavonoids and terpenes are molecules that interact with the cannabinoids in hemp to enhance the plant’s
therapeutic effects. Terpenes are compounds that contain anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties,
and contribute to the aromas and flavors of these plants. As a side note, typically all plants should have
terpenes. However, there are many non-terpene molecules that also contribute to aromas and flavors.
Some are also anti-anxiety and help promote sleep and relax the muscles.
• The cooperative way the hemp plant’s many phytochemicals (including CBD) act together throughout the
body is known as the “entourage effect.”
• Full-spectrum hemp extracts contain most of the phytochemicals present in hemp, while CBD isolates
contain only CBD.
• Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract with CBD is similar to full-spectrum. It contains terpenes and
cannabinoids and has the added benefit of being THC Free.* *Contains less than .01% THC
THE MANITOBA HARVEST DIFFERENCE
THE SOURCE AND EXTRACTION OF CBD MATTER. HERE’S WHY.
As the leaders in growing hemp, quality is our number one priority. We’ve carefully selected a process for
manufacturing our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract that delivers a product that is safe, potent, and consistent.
In our commitment to industry-leading safety and consistency, we have developed state-of-the-art, A++
manufacturing facilities, employed scientists and technicians to ensure quality and innovation, and fostered
a robust supply-chain network with an emphasis on freshness, quality, environmental sustainability and
reliability. Our packaging includes a QR code to easily access our Certificate of Analysis for each product.
Derived Exclusively From U.S. Hemp
At Manitoba Harvest, we have more than 20 years of leadership in the hemp foods business, sourcing from
Canadian farmers. We are proud to begin working directly with U.S. hemp farmers compliant with the 2018
Farm Bill to source the highest-quality product. Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract products are then CO2
extracted in a single-source U.S. facility
CO2 Extraction Process
Our CO2 extraction method uses carbon dioxide under high pressure and extremely low temperatures to
isolate, preserve, and maintain the purity of the medicinal oil. This helps us to achieve the highest level of
purity, and high potency without any fillers.
The result is a consistent, pure and reliable Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract with CBD that has no odor or
fl avor—except for the Peppermint Oil Drops and Peppermint Oil Spray, which are naturally fl avored with
Organic Peppermint Oil.
Carrier Oil
Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract CBD Oil Drops and CBD Oil Sprays are made with Organic Coconut
MCT Oil, which has fewer calories than other oils, is high in bio-availability and preserves the potency of
the extract’s antioxidants—unlike olive oil or other carrier oils, which can be unstable in liquid form if not
refrigerated. MCT Oil also has a neutral fl avor that’s pleasant on its own (in the Unfl avored Oil), and a prime
canvas for the natural minty fl avor of our Peppermint CBD Oil Drops and CBD Oil Spray.
Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract vs. Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp Seed Oil contains no CBD. Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract is pressed from the fl owers, leaves
and stalks of the Cannabis plant, not from hemp seeds like hemp seed oil and Manitoba Harvest’s other
current products.
Culinary Uses of Hemp Oil
Each 1 tbsp. serving of hemp seed oil contains 10 grams of omega-3 and omega-6. The light, nutty taste
is perfect drizzled over veggies, on pasta, or even on your popcorn for movie night. You can also add it to
salad dressings, sauces, dips, and shakes. Use this light green oil as a substitute for other oils in recipes that
aren’t heated above 300°F (150°C) is it not recommended for frying.
IS CBD FOR ME?
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WELLNESS
We believe embracing a healthy lifestyle shouldn’t be hard to do. We know that you empower your clients to
make the best possible choices for their health every single day and that everyone’s journey on the path of
health and wellness is different.
Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract fits into a wide variety of diets and lifestyles. It works cooperatively with
the body’s master regulatory system to lovingly nudge us back toward balance.
Cannabis is among the most thoroughly studied plants. To-date, there have been more than 25,000 articles
printed in peer-reviewed medical journals on cannabis, cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system. 1
Studies are ongoing, and we’re excited about the potential CBD has to help consumers find balance when
taken as part of a wellness routine.
BENEFITS OF OUR BROAD SPECTRUM HEMP EXTRACT
CALM THE BUSY MIND
Start to calm things down before bed with help from CBD. We know sleep has a huge impact on our energy
levels and nutrition choices, which is why daily restful sleep is so important. Yet for most of us, it’s hard to
fall and stay asleep. CBD helps to quiet a busy mind so that you can get the rest you need.
RELIEVE EVERYDAY STRESS
A centered, wakeful, calm is how many people describe how they feel when incorporating CBD into their
daily routine. CBD acts on the brain’s serotonin receptors, impacting mood and behavior. In this fast-paced
world it’s important to take a few minutes for ourselves: CBD can help the body maintain homeostasis in the
body in the face of day-to-day stress.
HELP HARDWORKING MUSCLES
CBD is well-documented to possess anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. It can help muscles feel
better after an intense workout and help with recovery to help restore the body.
FITS INTO YOUR LIFESTYLE
Our oils and sprays make it easy to experiment by taking them directly by mouth or adding them to food
and beverages. Our softgels are designed for maximum efficiency and consistency.

SERVING SIZE & USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
CBD and other cannabinoids affect people differently, so the ideal serving may vary by individual. Many
experts recommend starting with a small daily serving and increasing slowly from there until you notice
desired effects.
Studies have shown that CBD has a very favorable safety profile for most adults. Those with medical
conditions or taking prescriptions, women who are pregnant or nursing, or children under the age of 2
should consult with a physician before consuming products that contain cannabinoids, including our Broad
Spectrum Hemp Extract.
CBD FAQS
Q: What does “Full Spectrum” or “Broad Spectrum” mean?
A: These terms are related to the product extraction process. Full-spectrum CBD contains everything found
in the hemp plant, including terpenes, cannabinoids, flavonoids and fatty acids. These elements working
together create what’s referred to as “the entourage effect.” Broad spectrum is similar to full spectrum –
it contains terpenes and cannabinoids - with the added benefit of being THC Free.*
Q: Is CBD safe for me to take?
A: Studies have shown that CBD has a very favorable safety profile for most adults. Those with medical
conditions or taking prescriptions, women who are pregnant or nursing, or children under the age of 2
should consult with a physician before consuming products that contain cannabinoids, including our
Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract.
Comprehensive reviews of the safety and adverse effects of CBD conducted in 2011 and 2017 showed that
even chronic use, and at very high doses (Up to 1,500 mg/day of isolated CBD), are safe and well
tolerated without significant adverse effects. 2, 3
The most commonly reported adverse effects are fatigue, diarrhea, dry mouth and changes of
appetite/weight. 3, 4
Q: Will Manitoba Harvest Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract get me high?
A: Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract with CBD is completely non-intoxicating. Broad Spectrum Hemp
Extract with CBD is not derived from the marijuana plant, does not result in a “high,” contains less than
0.3% THC (the compound that creates intoxication) and is considered THC Free. Some users of CBD
report a sense of centered, wakeful calm.
Q: Will I test positive on a drug test?
A: Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract with CBD is made from hemp with less than 0.1% THC and goes
through an exacting extraction process to further minimize unwanted components in our final product.
Q: Is there a recommended serving?
A: Servings, which are expressed in milligrams, vary by format and product. Manitoba Harvest Broad
Spectrum Hemp Extract products contain the following:
• Tincture (unflavored and peppermint): 10-mg. CBD per serving
• Spray (peppermint): 5-mg. CBD per serving
• Soft gel (30 & 60-count): 15-mg. CBD per mL
Q: Can I travel with CBD?
A: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has updated its policy to allow products that contain
no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis. Our Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract is THC Free.*
*Contains less than .01% THC
Q: Does CBD expire?
A: Since we utilize MCT oil as our carrier (in the tinctures and spray) along with light protective brown glass
containers, estimated potency degradation would start on the listed expiration date. It is always best to
store supplements in a cool dry place. Any oil based supplement has the potential to “turn” when
exposed to high heat for any duration of time.
Q: Do other Manitoba Harvest products include CBD?
A: No. Hemp seed, which is what Manitoba Harvest food products are derived from, contains very little CBD.
CBD is pressed from the flowers, leaves and stalks of the Cannabis plant, not from hemp seeds. Manitoba
Harvest is always looking for potential innovations to include CBD in our food products.
