EPIDIOLEX is the only FDA-approved prescription CBD medicine, which among many things, means that it has a safety and efficacy profile that has been thoroughly evaluated in clinical trials. It also means that this plant-based, never synthetic, highly purified form of CBD is manufactured to meet the high standards of the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practices and the World Health Organization's Good Agricultural Practices.
What makes EPIDIOLEX different?
Highly Purified CBD
The active ingredient in EPIDIOLEX is nearly 100% pure CBD, which means EPIDIOLEX will not make you feel "high"
Contaminant free
Strict regulations make sure EPIDIOLEX contains no toxic heavy metals, no pesticides, and no contaminants
Accurately labeled
Each bottle is guaranteed to be consistent from dose to dose, and to contain the exact amount and concentration of CBD listed on the label. This is important because EPIDIOLEX uses personalized dosing based on weight
Made without sugar or carbohydrates
EPIDIOLEX is compatible with different epilepsy diets, including the keto diet
Naturally grown
The active ingredient in EPIDIOLEX is not synthetic. It is a highly purified form of CBD medicine that is greenhouse-grown from non-GMO plants
Rigorously tested safety
The safety profile of FDA-approved EPIDIOLEX has been studied for over 3 years. More than 40,000 families made the choice to start on EPIDIOLEX
Non–FDA approved CBD products may be inaccurately labeled
There have been studies of non–FDA approved CBD products that have shown wildly inaccurate labeling. This is because they aren’t regulated in the same way as EPIDIOLEX.
In one study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), of the non–FDA approved CBD products tested:
26% had less CBD than claimed
on the label
42% contained more CBD than
claimed on the label
20% included detectable levels of
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that
could cause intoxication,
especially among children
