Finding a trustworthy CBD source can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options out there! While a specific UK retailer can't be recommended here, there are some helpful tips for finding a reliable one.

When shopping for CBD in the UK, look for:

- Third-party lab testing – reputable brands will publish Certificates of Analysis (COA) showing exactly what's in their product
- Clear labeling – the THC content, CBD concentration, and ingredients should all be clearly listed
- Buy in-store where possible – a MyLupusTeam member noted that ordering by mail once made them feel unwell, and preferred buying in-store
- Avoid products making big medical claims – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is

It's also really important to speak with your rheumatologist before trying CBD, as it can interact with some medications commonly used in lupus treatment and may carry a risk of liver-related concerns when combined with certain drugs.
