Beneficial Compounds & Cannabinoids
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the most well-known cannabinoid found in hemp oil. But did you know there are over 80 other healthy cannabinoids found in hemp extract? Cannabinoids are fatty compounds found in other plants, your body and abundant in hemp. Over the last century humans have denied our bodies of these compounds that are essential for immune system, hormonal balance and nervous system functionality. We literally have these cannabinoids in our makeup.
CANNABINOIDS
CBD - Cannabidiol: A major phytocannabinoid, accounting for up to 40% of the plant extract. Extensive research has demonstrated CBD to be a powerful antioxidant, pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and help with sleep issues.
CBN - Cannabinol: A non- psychoactive cannabinoid with pain-relieving properties that reportedly aids in sleep and appetite regulation.
CBG - Cannabigerol: Helps regulate mood thanks to its ability to boost anandamide, the body's native “bliss” molecule.
CBC - Cannabichromene: Pain relieving properties, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal effects.
FLAVONOIDS & TERPENES
Hemp flavonoids are the cellular messengers and terpenes are the fragrant oils delivered to the senses. Terpene oils are found in plants of all kinds, we are particularly partial to hemp derived terpenes and the benefits we receive when they bind to our bodies receptors. For example, you may have experienced a sense of calmness, open airways, relaxation and alertness while going on a hike. This could be because you are breathing in Pinene, the terpene found in pine needles.
