What is hemp-derived CBD?Updated 2 years ago
CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a non-intoxicating, non-addictive phytocannabinoid naturally produced in hemp plants. Big words, we know, we'll explain..
Phytocannabinoids are the chemical compounds found within the hemp plant. There are over 100 different phytocannabinoids that can be found in hemp, all with differing purposes and effects for the hemp plant and for humans who consume it.
CBD has been and is currently undergoing many studies on its effects in the human body. In numerous studies, CBD has proven to lessen seizures due to LGS and Dravet syndrome, improve falling asleep and staying asleep for those with insomnia and anxiety, and has shown positive results in treatments for pain due to inflammation and arthritis. Studies have also revealed successful pain relief for chronic pain due to neuropathy.
More studies are needed to further substantiate all the claims made about CBD, but progress is being made daily. Try it out for yourself!
