What Is CBD?

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is a natural substance which is extracted from Hemp, a plant in the Cannabis family. Whilst there are many cannabinoids in plants, Cannabis is the only plant known to contain CBD.

CBD vs. THC

Identified within the 113 identified cannabinoids, CBD and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two primary substances. THC is also only found in trace amounts in Hemp and is far higher in concentration in Marijuana. Despite having the same chemical formula, CBD and THC atoms are formed in a different arrangement.

Our CBD products are rich in CBD, whereas you won't find any more than 1mg of THC in any of our supplements.

The Entourage Effect

Terpenes aid the cannabinoids to pass through the bloodstream. They also are said to determine the level at which you feel the effects as they can amp up or calm down the effects of other cannabinoids in the Full Spectrum of CBD. Full Spectrum CBD is an extract that contains all-natural compounds found within Hemp including terpenes, essential oils and more. These will work together to magnify the perceived benefits of each individual cannabinoid and is referred to as the “Entourage Effect.”

It is very important to note that CBD will affect different people in different ways. Therefore, there is not one set dosage and will have to be tailored to your specific needs and preferences. There is also a wide range of products and forms of CBD available for you to use/take.

Other Cannabinoids

CBD and THC are not the only cannabinoids. There are many others and this includes the likes of CBN, CBC and CBG.

Cannabinol (CBN) is a product of THC and has some psychoactive properties as it is only 10% of the strength of THC. Researchers have claimed it could enhance the dizzy and disorientated effect that cannabis users may experience. It can also create feelings of grogginess and has been known to reduce heart rate.

Cannabichromene (CBC) is a rare and non-psychoactive cannabinoid.

Cannabigerol (CBG) is another non-psychoactive cannabinoid and is commonly found in cannabis.
