CBD Information

What is Cannabidiol?

Cannabidiol or "CBD" is a naturally occurring chemical found in the hemp plant that is considered a member of the Cannabinoid Family of chemicals. Cannabinoids are a group of closely related compounds that act on cannabinoid receptors in the body (Endocannabinoid System), unique to cannabis or [hemp]. The body creates compounds called endocannabinoids, while hemp produces phytocannabinoids (Plant Cannabinoids).

CBD products derived from Hemp are typically described as full spectrum, broad spectrum or isolate:

"Full Spectrum Hemp Extract" includes CBD, Terpenes and other trace phytocompounds.

"Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract" includes CBD and Terpenes.

"Isolate" CBD is essentially just the CBD extracted, without the Terpenes and other trace phytocompounds.

Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

The Endocannabinoid System is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Although the Endocannabinoid System affects a wide variety of biological processes, experts believe that it’s overall function is to regulate homeostasis.

Functions of the Endocannabinoid System

Discovered in 1990, the endocannabinoid system is located in the brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors.
