What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of 113 biologic compounds—called cannabinoids—found within the trichomes of the
cannabis/hemp plant. Two of the most well-known of these compounds are CBD and THC. While both are naturally
occurring, CBD is distinct from THC, in that CBD does not produce the psychoactive effect (or high) that THC
does.
All cannabinoid molecules, like those found in CBD, act on the receptors in the body's endocannabinoid
system (ECS). Active in the body whether or not a person uses CBD or THC products, the ECS plays a role in
sleep, appetite, mood, memory, and immune processes.
All CBMD products are formulated with broad-spectrum CBD, which has been purified to substantially reduce
the THC content and profile.
Different types of CBD
Today, one can find CBD labeled full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and pure isolate. Full-spectrum products
contain precisely that: the full range of both cannabinoids and terpenes present in the plant. (Terpenes are
the chemicals responsible for the smell and taste associated with cannabis). Full-spectrum products are
notable in that they are inclusive of THC.
However, by definition, CBD cannot contain more than 0.3% of THC. On the other hand, broad-spectrum products
are refined so as to remove much more of the THC content and profile. CBD isolate is created by extracting
CBD and then removing all other cannabinoids and terpenes, isolating only the CBD molecules.
Dosing
Determining the appropriate CBD dose is dependent upon a number of factors, including the delivery technology, concentration, and product type. There are also other factors to consider, like a person's unique biological makeup, and medicines an individual might be taking, Additionally, CBD isolate will exert a different kind of dose response than broad-spectrum and full-spectrum products. Because of this variability, we recommend that individuals consult a doctor, and also begin with a low dosage and build from there.
Bioavailability
The term bioavailability refers to the percentage or fraction of a given dose that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and therefore made available for use by the body. Bioavailability is based on a variety of factors, including product composition and method of delivery. In several of our CBD formulations, we incorporate ingredients that display increased and prolonged bioavailability.
Endocannabinoid System
All cannabinoid molecules, like those found in CBD, act on the receptors in the body's endocannabinoid
system (ECS). Active in the body whether or not a person uses CBD or THC products, the ECS plays a role in
sleep, appetite, mood, memory, and immune processes.
There are two main kinds of receptors: CB1 receptors, which are mainly concentrated in the brain, and CB2
receptors, located throughout the body and largely connected with immune system function.
The human body also produces its own endocannabinoids, a fact that is part of an interesting story of the
endocannabinoid system's scientific provenance—starting in the early 19th century and leading to the recent
mapping of the endocannabinoid receptors' genetic group.
