Hear from Our Customers
Most people who come to us have already tried something. A gummy from a pharmacy shelf. A 300mg tincture from a big-box store. Something a coworker swore by. And it either didn’t work, or it worked for a week and then stopped. That’s not a CBD problem that’s a quality and dosing problem. Mislabeling is rampant in this industry. A 2023 study found that over half of products marketed as THC-free actually contained THC. When you don’t know what’s in the bottle, you can’t expect consistent results.
North Bellmore residents deal with a specific kind of physical wear. The daily grind of navigating the Southern State Parkway on and off at Exit 26 or the Route 106 interchange adds up in the shoulders, the lower back, and the neck over time. That’s not dramatic. That’s just what prolonged driving posture does, five days a week, for years. Add in the damp, bone-chilling cold that rolls off the South Shore every November through February, and if you’re in your 40s or 50s maintaining a home on a street off Newbridge Road, your joints know the season has changed before the calendar does.
What changes when you get the right product at the right potency is straightforward. You sleep through the night instead of waking at 3 a.m. with a stiff back. You get up on a cold January morning without that first ten minutes of just trying to get moving. You stop relying on ibuprofen as a daily habit. Real customers report five to six hours of pain relief from a single topical application, full eight-hour sleep with the patch, and measurable reduction in chronic back pain. That’s the outcome. That’s what this is actually about.
We were founded in 2019 by Dean and Debbie Nichol, a husband-and-wife team from East Northport. Our daughter Erika has undergone more than 60 surgeries and lives with chronic pain and anxiety. CBD oil became part of how she manages that not instead of her medical care, but alongside it. That’s the whole reason we exist. Not to capitalize on a wellness trend, but because we found something that genuinely helped and wanted to make it available to people who needed it.
Our son Brandon joined us in 2024, making it a three-person family operation. Every product we carry comes with a published Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab potency, THC levels, contaminants, all verified. We’ve been featured in the Long Island Press and Dan’s Papers, and we’re a member of the Huntington Chamber of Commerce. For Nassau County residents in North Bellmore looking for a CBD source they can actually trust, we’re a Long Island family business, not a warehouse in another state with a geo-targeted landing page.
We operate by appointment no walk-in counter, no grab-and-go. That’s intentional. The difference between a product that works and one that doesn’t often comes down to whether you got the right formulation, the right spectrum type, and the right potency for your specific situation. That conversation takes a few minutes, and it’s worth having before you spend money on something that won’t do what you need.
For North Bellmore residents, the virtual appointment option is the practical path. East Northport is a 20-plus mile drive doable, but not something you want to tack onto a week that already starts and ends on the Southern State Parkway. A virtual consultation gives you the same one-on-one guidance without the commute. You describe what you’re dealing with back pain, arthritis, poor sleep, anxiety, a dog that’s struggling and we walk you through which product fits, whether full spectrum or broad spectrum makes more sense for your situation, and what potency to start with.
If you’re a healthcare worker or in a field with drug testing, that conversation also covers which formulations are THC-free. Our broad spectrum options, including the pet tincture and the newer gummies, contain no THC. Full spectrum products contain less than 0.3% THC and are federally compliant but if that trace amount is a concern for your employer, there’s a clear answer for that too. You leave the consultation knowing exactly what to order and why, not hoping it works out.

Most CBD retailers in the area including the Natural Remedies location on Jerusalem Avenue in Merrick, about two miles from North Bellmore carry tinctures, gummies, and topicals. That’s a reasonable starting point. What we offer that you won’t find locally is the Ameo Entune transdermal patch: the first and only 24-hour clinical-grade CBD patch available, delivering sustained full spectrum absorption through the skin over a full day without re-dosing. For North Bellmore commuters who want consistent relief from morning through evening, that delivery method is meaningfully different from a tincture you take once and hope carries you through.
Beyond the patch, we carry CBD, CBG, and CBN three distinct hemp cannabinoids with different applications. CBD is the foundation for pain, inflammation, and anxiety. CBG has been reported by customers to improve mental clarity, reduce GI inflammation, and support mood and energy. CBN is associated specifically with sleep. If you’ve tried CBD and felt underwhelmed, CBG or CBN may be the missing piece and a consultation will tell you which direction makes sense.
For North Bellmore dog owners who take their dogs to the Newbridge Road Dog Park, we also offer Bacon Flavored CBD Oil for Dogs: 1,000mg, THC-free broad spectrum, made in the USA, and veterinarian-approved in-house. If your dog is slowing down, anxious, or dealing with joint stiffness, this is a product that was reviewed by a vet not just packaged and marketed. Every product across our entire line comes with a published COA so you know exactly what you’re giving yourself or your pet.
This is one of the most important questions for North Bellmore residents to get right, especially given that health care and social assistance is the largest employment sector in the community. The short answer is: it depends on which product you use. Full spectrum CBD oil contains trace amounts of THC less than 0.3%, which is the federal legal limit for hemp-derived products. For most people, that level doesn’t accumulate enough to trigger a standard drug test. But “most people” isn’t a guarantee, and if your employer has a zero-tolerance policy, that trace amount is still a risk.
The safer choice for anyone subject to drug testing is a broad spectrum product, which is formulated to remove THC entirely. We carry broad spectrum options including the pet tincture and the newer broad spectrum gummies. During a consultation, you can be direct about your employment situation, and you’ll get a clear recommendation not a hedge. The goal is to match you to something that works for your health without creating a problem at work.
Full spectrum CBD oil retains all the naturally occurring compounds from the hemp plant cannabinoids, terpenes, and trace amounts of THC (under 0.3%). The reason this matters is something called the entourage effect: the idea that these compounds work better together than any single one does alone. Research and real-world customer experience both support this for pain management and inflammation. If you’re dealing with chronic back pain or arthritis that hasn’t responded to lower-dose isolate products, full spectrum is typically the more effective option.
Broad spectrum goes through an additional step to remove THC while keeping most of the other cannabinoids and terpenes intact. It’s a reasonable middle ground you lose some of the full entourage effect, but you eliminate the THC concern. For North Bellmore residents whose jobs involve drug testing, or for anyone giving CBD to a pet, broad spectrum is the appropriate choice. We carry both, and the right pick depends on your specific situation which is exactly what the consultation is designed to sort out.
A topical salve or cream works at the surface level it absorbs through the skin at the application site and provides localized relief. That’s genuinely useful for targeted pain, and our customers report five to six hours of relief from our topical salve. But it requires reapplication, and the absorption depth is limited.
The Ameo Entune patch is a transdermal delivery system, which means it’s designed to move cannabinoids through the skin and into the bloodstream for systemic effect over a full 24 hours. You apply it once and it works continuously no re-dosing, no timing your applications around your schedule. For North Bellmore commuters who are on the road early and don’t want to manage a dosing schedule throughout the day, that sustained delivery is a practical advantage. It’s also the only clinical-grade 24-hour CBD patch available no other local provider in the Nassau County area carries it.
The most common reason CBD doesn’t work is that the product didn’t contain what the label claimed. A 2024 study found that only 7.5% of tested CBD products actually fell within 90 to 110% of their stated potency. If you bought a 500mg tincture and it was actually 150mg, or if it was a CBD isolate without the supporting cannabinoids and terpenes, the result is going to be underwhelming and that’s not a reflection of what CBD can actually do.
We publish Certificates of Analysis from third-party labs for every product. You can verify the potency before you buy. Beyond that, the consultation process is specifically designed to address the “it didn’t work” experience because the answer is almost always either the wrong product type, the wrong spectrum, or the wrong dose. For someone with chronic back pain or arthritis who’s been underdosed on a mass-market isolate, our 12,000mg full spectrum tincture is a completely different experience. The consultation makes sure you’re starting in the right place, not repeating the same mistake with a different label.
The concern is valid giving your dog something you’re not sure about is a real hesitation, and it should be. Our dog tincture is a 1,000mg broad spectrum hemp-derived CBD oil, which means it contains no THC. It’s made in the USA and has been reviewed and approved by a veterinarian in-house. That’s not a marketing line it means an actual vet looked at the formulation before it was sold.
For North Bellmore dog owners who bring their dogs to the Newbridge Road Dog Park, the most common scenarios where pet CBD becomes relevant are aging dogs with joint stiffness, dogs with anxiety around loud events, or dogs that are generally restless or uncomfortable. Dosing is based on your dog’s weight, and we’ll walk you through that during a consultation. The bacon flavor is designed for palatability most dogs take it without any resistance. If you’re unsure whether it’s appropriate for your specific dog’s health situation, that’s exactly the kind of question to bring to the consultation.
CBD and CBG are both cannabinoids derived from the hemp plant, but they work differently in the body and tend to produce different effects. CBD is most associated with pain relief, reduced inflammation, and anxiety management. CBG cannabigerol has been reported by users to support mental clarity, mood, energy, and gastrointestinal health. Customers who take our 2,000mg CBG tincture describe it as producing a clearer, more focused feeling, with less GI discomfort and an uplifted mood, without any psychoactive effect.
For North Bellmore residents who work in demanding professional or healthcare environments and are looking for something that supports focus and energy alongside general wellness, CBG is worth understanding. It’s also been noted anecdotally for helping with conditions like Crohn’s disease. If you’ve been using CBD for a while and feel like you’ve plateaued, or if you’re managing a specific condition that hasn’t fully responded to CBD alone, adding CBG to the conversation during a consultation can open up a different approach. We carry CBD, CBG, and CBN three distinct cannabinoids which is more range than you’ll find at most local retailers in Nassau County.
