What is CBD?
Medical professionals all over the world are using CBD oil because it's Highly. Effective! - Truth!
Yet, it's so safe, it's legal in every state and accessible to the general public. - Truth!
There's only hype, but no research or science regarding CBD. - Myth!
Most people still have questions and feel a bit confused when it comes to CBD. - Truth!
We are going to clear some things up!
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor or scientist. I am not prescribing or advising as a medical professional. I'm just sharing the research!
If you've thought CBD oil might be good for you or someone you love - this might help. The purpose is for you to feel knowledgeable enough to make an informed decision, and be empowered to do it with confidence. So... let's look at the research and science.
CBD Comes from the Hemp Plant NOT the Marijuana Plant
While they are in the same family, they are two different plants.
- Marijuana contains large amounts of THC. (THC is the psycho-active part that makes you high.)
- Hemp in comparison, has very little THC but is loaded with CBD. If you are worried about the THC, the good news is we extract ALL of the THC and add Essential Oils to give our ✅ Smart Spectrum CBD the Entourage Effect.
The Various Forms of CBD
✘ CBD Isolate - When you extract just the CBD from the plant you have CBD Isolate. CBD Isolate contains 0% THC.
The concern: It loses some of it's power because in the process of removing the THC, the terpenes are also removed. You need the terpenes for a more robust result known as the Entourage Effect.
✅ SMART SPECTRUM - A CBD Isolate that has been infused with Essential Oils. Because like the THC, Essential Oils contain terpenes, making them powerful and effective, but they do not have a psychoactive effect. By adding terpenes from EOs to the CBD, the effectiveness is once again raised. Since there is 0% THC - you Will. Pass. A. Drug. Test.
SMART SPECTRUM CBD has the Entourage Effect, associated with Broad Spectrum CBD but without any of the concerns.
✘ Broad Spectrum - an extraction of CBD oil with little to no THC. The concern: There's no guarantee you will pass a drug test. It has been known to have more adverse/unwanted effects than Isolate or Smart Spectrum.
✘ Full Spectrum - CBD derived from the hemp plant but without removing the THC. The concern: It poses legal and moral dilemmas for many.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS or EC System)
The Endocannabinoid System is a system in our body. We have cannabinoid receptors all over our bodies. Our body makes Cannabinoids, just like it makes hormones (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone etc.), insulin, sperm etc...
The purpose of Cannabinoids are to regulate pain and to keep our bodies in homeostasis.
Interesting Fact: A woman's uterus has more cannabinoid receptors than any other part of the human body.
When the receptors need cannabinoids and they are met with them, your body can manage the situation. It moves from pain or discomfort back to homeostasis quickly.
biology-online.org says, "Homeostasis refers to the ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes."
Part of the job of the ECS is to regulate and help maintain homeostasis with:
- Appetite
- Digestion
- Immune function
- Inflammation, including neuroinflammation
- Mood
- Energy regulation
- Sleep
- Reproduction/fertility
- Motor control
- Temperature regulation
- Memory
- Pain
- Pleasure/reward
It's no wonder CBD is so popular!! We need cannabinoids for just about everything!
When our body is not happy it is out of balance so it tries to send endocannabinoids and enzymes to regulate things and bring it back into homeostasis. But often, we do not have enough cannabinoids. 😢 That's why...
- You may always feel cold or always feel hot.
- Have extreme menstrual cramps.
- Suffer from disrupted sleep or night sweats.
When your body is unable to adjust to changes and cannot maintain homeostasis, there's an increased likelihood of developing a disease.🤢
It's important to keep your body happy! 😊 If you don't feel good, physically or emotionally, you need to do something about it or you may reap long term negative consequences.
Would a boost of cannabinoids help you feel better?
Smart Spectrum CBD can help your Endocannabinoid System do it's job! ✅
Medically Speaking
In an article titled Endocannabinoids in Nervous System Health and Disease: The Big Picture in a Nutshell, Stephen D Skaper and Vincenzo Di Marzo say...
"Among other functions, the ECS is involved in neuroprotection, modulation of nociception, regulation of motor activity, neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity and the control of certain phases of memory processing. In addition, the ECS acts to modulate the immune and inflammatory responses and to maintain a positive energy balance."
