CBD 101
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found primarily in the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. It’s one of many powerful cannabinoids found in hemp and is known for supporting the body and mind in various ways.
WHERE DOES CBD COME FROM?
CBD products are derived from Cannabis Sativa, which is classified as hemp. Hemp contains high levels of CBD and low levels of THC (less than 0.3%).
Hemp-derived CBD products offer the properties of the entire hemp plant (CBD, additional cannabinoids, terpenes) without the presence of THC – so no mind-altering effects!
HOW DOES CBD WORK?
CBD has quality benefits concerning the human body; emerging studies seem to support the idea that CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) – a biological network composed of cannabinoid receptors – to help the body maintain overall health and wellness.
CBD works with your ECS to promote everyday health and wellness support and is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the hemp plant.
WHO CAN TAKE CBD?
Studies show that CBD can be well-tolerated by many. Since the most common results are calmness, focus, relief from inflammation, support for healthy sleep cycles, and relief from everyday stresses, anyone looking for balance in these areas might benefit from it.
ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS TO TAKING CBD?
CBD is generally well tolerated and considered safe. As with any other supplement, there is a chance that it could cause adverse reactions, and/or could interact with certain medications. As with any dietary supplement, consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or have any medical conditions.
HOW WILL CBD MAKE ME FEEL?
The physical makeup of every human body is different, so everyone will have a different response and effects. Since hemp works with the body’s internal ECS, the effect is personalized based on what you have going on internally. Cannabinoids such as CBD and CBG may promote a feeling of relaxation or even focus. The best way to determine the individualistic effects of CBD is to try it for yourself!
WHAT IS CBG?
CBG, or cannabigerol, is another cannabinoid found in hemp that interacts with the ECS. It has displayed antifungal, antibacterial, antidepressant, and pain-relieving properties - just like CBD.
