CBD Made Simple
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE MANY POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF CBD.
You may have read about CBD in the news or heard about it from a friend, and are interested in learning more. Let’s take a look at some of the basics.
So what exactly is CBD?
CBD is short for cannabidiol found in the cannabis plant. Legal CBD products contain zero or trace amounts of the psychoactive component THC, so you can reap all of the benefits of cannabis without the high. This plant has been used medicinally by many cultures for centuries.
The Human Endocannabinoid System.
The “E.C.S.” is made up of cell receptors that act as messengers directing the body to carry out different functions. These receptors are heavily concentrated in the brain and spinal cord but are located throughout the body influencing the immune system, gastrointestinal tract and everything else. The spread of these receptor locations shows just how important they are to the body’s everyday functions.
The “E.C.S” helps regulate:
ANXIETY
PAIN
DEPRESSOIN
MOOD
SLEEP
DIGESTION
IMMUNE FUNCTION
AND MORE
Endocannabinoids activate and deactivate many of the body’s natural functions. If your body is not producing enough endocannabinoids or is not regulating them properly you can experience any of the above health concerns. CBD can help regulate your “E.C.S” and improve health.
Is CBD Legal?
Yes, when properly derived, CBD is federally legal in all states. To be legal THC Levels (the component that gives the “high” feeling) must be below 0.3%.
Will I feel high after taking CBD?
It is impossible to feel high after properly using CBD. Many individuals report feeling less anxious but CBD does not contain enough of the psychoactive ingredient THC.
Know Your Source.
CBD is making major waves in the national marketplace which is currently widely unregulated. It is important to trust your CBD needs to a reputable source to ensure quality and safety. CHÉ Hemp is one of the few producers of CBD that is 3rd party tested and rated at the highest GMP (good manufacturing process) standard. Insist on quality. Insist on CHÉ Hemp Products.
What is Full-Spectrum CBD?
If an extract is full-spectrum, this means it contains all phytochemicals naturally found in the plant, including CBD, trace cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils. Full-spectrum extracts from hemp also come with a negligible THC content — below 0.3%
The full spectrum of the active compounds extracted from hemp work together to amplify the health benefits of each individual cannabinoid. This phenomenon is referred to as the entourage effect (more on that later).
Although non-psychoactive, full-spectrum CBD can give you a false positive during a drug test, especially if you consume high doses of CBD oil daily.
That’s when the broad-spectrum CBD comes in.
What is Broad Spectrum CBD?
Broad-spectrum CBD contains cannabidiol and all the other compounds within the plant, save for THC, which is completely removed after the initial extraction.
Because broad-spectrum extracts contain multiple cannabinoids, they also produce the “entourage effect,” but without the THC.
In a very simplified manner, broad-spectrum CBD is like a mix between full-spectrum CBD and CBD isolate. It contains the entire spectrum of cannabinoids EXCEPT for the THC part.
What is CBD Isolate?
CBD isolate is the purest form of this compound, made by pulling it from its natural environment and removing it from all other ingredients.
“The advantage of using CBD isolate over other formats is the highest concentration of CBD per serving. Isolates are usually 99% pure, meaning that one gram of isolate powder carries about 990 mg of CBD. There’s no entourage effect, though — you can benefit solely from the effects of cannabidiol.
