FAQs
What is CBA?
CBA is the abbreviation for Copaiba (co-pie-e-buh), a rare oil-resin offering the benefits of hemp from a completely different source. CBA offers, on average double the amount of beta-caryophyllene, the powerful component found in hemp found to support inflammation and symptom relief.
CBA is harvested from 100 foot Copaifera trees, native to South and Central America. Harvesting and extracting CBA oil is done in a similar way to maple syrup. These trees are accessed by boat, so the collection season is determined by the water levels, making this a rare and treasured oil.

Why do you use MCT oil in your blends?
CBA is fat-soluble, meaning it breaks down and is stored in fat rather than water. Therefore cannabinoids are most effective when consumed with fat because it increases the rate of absorption. X5 Naturals chose MCT oil, because of it’s higher fat content than other oils, it gives the cannabinoids the support they need to move through the body and interact with the endocannabinoid system as efficiently as possible.
Can I take CBA products with my medications?
We recommend speaking with your physician before taking CBA with your medications.
