General Questions
Cannabidiol (CBD) is extracted from the Cannabis Sativa plant. It is the trichomes of the plant that CBD is usually extracted from. CBD is one out of over 100 phytocannabinoids identified in the hemp plant.
Cannabinoids are found in specific plants and naturally produced within the body. These compounds interact with our Endocannabinoid System to maintain and bring our bodies back to balance on a cellular-systematic level.
Phytocannabinoids are produced by plants, phyto meaning ‘plant derived’.
Endocannabinoids are produced naturally within the human body, endo meaning ‘found within’.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a cell communication mechanism within the body. It is a complex system responsible for regulating a range of major body functions, including sleep, memory, reproduction, hunger, and mood.
The ECS is made to be self-sufficient with its’ production of its’ own cannabinoids, 2-AG and Anandamide, however, scientists are beginning to find out that the ECS can be supplemented with additional cannabinoids, like CBD, to optimize homeostasis.
When the ECS is out of balance, any system within the body can become compromised. Disruption may be caused by a range of things from diet, lifestyle, genetics, trauma, injury, toxins, and even daily stress. Our Phytocannabinoid-rich CBD products interact directly with the ECS by mimicking the effects of our endocannabinoids to support your body’s optimal functioning
Hemp and Marijuana both come from the cannabis sativa plant. The cannabis sativa plant is made up of different molecular structures and compounds known as cannabinoids. The two most common cannabinoids are THC and CBD. Any cannabis sativa plant that contains less than 0.3% THC, is known legally as hemp. Any cannabis sativa plant that contains more than 0.3% THC is known legally as marijuana. To go one step further we look at products made from these plants. Any CBD product that comes from a hemp plant, grown under a state-supervised agriculture plan, is legal. Any CBD product that comes from a marijuana plant is only legal to be sold in dispensaries.
A phytocannabinoid is a cannabinoid produced naturally by plants. Phytocannabinoid rich hemp extract describes our CBD formulation. Our formulation is extracted from hemp grown on our family farms, and contains a high concentration of CBD along with trace amounts of other cannabinoids and terpenes.
