CBD stands for cannabidiol. It’s one of over 113 naturally occurring cannabinoid compounds in the Cannabis plant. The flowers of cannabis both hemp and marijuana , secrete a sticky resin abundant in cannabinoids like CBD, as well as terpenes and various other phytochemicals. Compared to THC — the other main cannabinoid in the cannabis plant — CBD is non – psychoactive. This means that no matter how much you take, it’ s not going to produce a “high” from marijuana. CBD has also recently been categorized as a nutritional supplement in the United States — giving the public open access to CBD supplements.
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system — a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters spread throughout the entire body. This system is tasked with regulating the balance of various organ systems. The greatest abundance of these receptors is located in the brain, the central nervous system, and the immune system. Almost every organ in your body, including the skin and digestive tract, comes with cannabinoid receptors. In combination with Pure Hemp Oil rather than a MCT oil. 4500+ CBD also offers the support of the The Endocannabinoid System (ECS): Providing Whole Body Balance. The ECS is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body organs, brain, connective tissues, glands, immune cells, and more.
The phytocannabinoids in Hemp Oil helps support the ECS, which governs various critical functions of the body. This includes neuronal, digestive, endocrine, immune, bone and muscular systems. Only a full-spectrum hemp oil that contains natural phytocannabinoids, will show distinct-but-complementary actions at specific cellular receptors in humans.
From a scientific standpoint, both hemp and marijuana are of the same species — Cannabis sativa. The difference is in their chemical makeup. Anything with less than 0.3% THC by dried weight is classified as hemp (non-psychoactive), while anything over this is marijuana (psychoactive). You will find that Hemp is more commonly used for making food (hemp seeds) and supplements such as CBD oil. Marijuana on the other hand is used either recreationally or for medical purposes because of its psychoactive effects.
It doesn’t matter if it comes from a hemp plant or a marijuana plant CBD is CBD. However, the ratio of cannabinoids will be very different from a hemp plant and a marijuana plant. The most obvious difference is THC and CBD — marijuana has high THC, and generally, a low CBD level, while hemp is high in CBD, and low in THC. Terpenes and cannabinoids will vary a lot between these two plants as well.
There are several different ways to take CBD. The most popular method is via the mouth or sublingually, a few drops placed under the tongue for fast absorption. This method is believed to be the most effective. CBD oils can also be mixed with food, but the absorption will be slower due to the digestive process.
Many people tend to confuse CBD-rich hemp extracts with the hemp seed oil you can find at their local grocery store. In truth, these two oils are worlds apart. Standard hemp seed oil is made by cold pressing the seeds of the hemp plant. The oil that’s produced is rich in nutrients like gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), amino acids, and trace minerals. It makes for an excellent source of nutrition — but doesn’t contain CBD or any of the other cannabinoids. CBD hemp oils, on the other hand, are made from the resinous flowers of the female hemp plants (without seeds). The resin is extracted using state of the art extraction methods to collect the cannabinoids, and terpenes naturally found in the plant resin. This is the source of CBD.
