FAQ

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant that contains various chemical compounds, including cannabinoids. The two primary cannabinoids found in cannabis are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is known for its psychoactive properties, which can cause a "high" when consumed. On the other hand, CBD is non-psychoactive and is believed to have various potential therapeutic benefits.

THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol. It is a chemical compound found in cannabis plants. THC is known for its ability to affect the brain and body when consumed.

CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system in the body, which is a complex network of receptors and enzymes responsible for maintaining balance or homeostasis in various bodily functions. The endocannabinoid system helps regulate things like pain, inflammation, mood, appetite, and sleep, among others. When CBD is consumed, it binds to certain receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which can help reduce inflammation, pain, anxiety, and other symptoms. However, the exact mechanism of how CBD works is influenced from the own bodys unique metabolism and are still being studied by scientists.

Yes, CBD has several potential benefits. While CBD is considered a food supplement and not a medicine, CBD has been found to help reduce anxiety and depression, alleviate pain and inflammation, and improve sleep quality. CBD may also have neuroprotective properties and could potentially help with conditions like epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.

Full spectrum refers to a type of CBD extract that contains a full range of cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant. This includes not only CBD but also other cannabinoids like THC, as well as terpenes and flavonoids. Full-spectrum CBD is believed to offer more health benefits than isolated CBD products.

Broad-spectrum CBD is like a combination of Full Spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate. It keeps the other helpful parts of the plant, just like Full Spectrum CBD, but removes THC, like CBD Isolate. This means that you can still get the extra benefits of the "entourage effect", but without the chance of getting high.

To put it simply, an isolate is a pure form of a substance that is extracted and separated from everything else. CBD Isolate is the purest form of CBD because it's created by removing all other compounds found in the plant such as terpenes, flavonoids, plant parts, and other cannabinoids. In other words, it's just CBD on its own, with nothing else mixed in.

Flavonoids are another type of organic compound found in plants, including hemp. They are responsible for the plant's color, and they may also have potential health benefits.

Terpenes are organic compounds found in many plants, including hemp. They give the plant its distinct smell and flavor, and they can also affect the way the body absorbs CBD.

The entourage effect is a term used to describe the synergistic interaction between different compounds found in the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. When these compounds work together, they can enhance each other's benefits and produce a more powerful effect than any one compound alone.
