CBD Education & Science

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today, the benefits of CBD are being recognized and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. As a safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred phytocannabinoids, which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.

How CBD Works in the Body

CBD interacts with the body through the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a crucial role in regulating a range of functions and processes, including sleep, mood, appetite, memory, and immune response. CBD influences receptors in this system to help support homeostasis, promoting a natural state of balance and well-being.

Full Spectrum vs. Broad Spectrum

Full Spectrum CBD: Contains all the naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, essential oils, and trace amounts of THC (always below the legal limit of 0.3%). These compounds work together to enhance the overall benefits, a phenomenon known as the "Entourage Effect".

Broad Spectrum CBD: Contains a similar rich profile of cannabinoids and terpenes, but undergoes an additional extraction step to completely remove all detectable traces of THC. This is the ideal option for individuals who wish to avoid THC entirely while still enjoying the beneficial compounds of the hemp plant.
