An exciting new product known as CBD extract is becoming available to Brits. Many people have known about the benefits of Cannabidiol (CBD) for years, however, it is becoming more widespread as technology improves. This valuable hemp extract can be used to combat conditions such as Alzheimer’s, and also provide relief for sufferers of conditions such as MS and Crohn’s disease.
With many products already on the market, it’s important to understand why CBD extract is more effective than other hemp products. For the maximum benefits of CBD, this is what you need to know.
What is CBD extract?
CBD extract contains pure concentrated doses of hemp extract, known as cannabidiol (CBD). The beauty of CBD is that it provides genuine relief from aches, pains, sleep disorders and a range of other ailments, without the ‘high’ associated with other forms of marijuana. This is because CBD extract contains zero THC, the component that is normally responsible for the feeling of euphoria (the high).
While there are many forms of CBD products on the market, such as gummies, capsules and creams, they are unable to have the same effect as a pure, concentrated dose of CBD.
How does CBD extract work?
Part of the human body is the endocannabinoid system. This network of receptors in our cells are there to maintain a balance, known as homeostasis. Essentially, if there are toxins in our body, the endocannabinoid system responds by releasing cannabinoids to return things to normal. However, with aging, the endocannabinoid system effectively burns out. It becomes less capable of releasing cannabinoids, and the result can be a large range of problems. These include:
- Depression
- Immune Booster
- Anxiety
- Aching joints of muscles
- Blurry vision
- Sleep disorders
- Memory issues
- Problems focusing
Basically, CBD extract provides your endocannabinoid system with a boost, by providing your body with the cannabinoids it needs to stay healthy. Think of it like manually re-filling a water bowl.
Why is it better than hemp?
In very simple terms, a lot of the hemp products you purchase online contain very little, or no CBD. In addition, many hemp products only use part of the hemp plant. CBD extract, on the other hand, uses all of the key compounds within the plant for maximum effect. With no pesticides used in the growing process, it is a purely natural remedy.
The other key difference is CBD extract is not like normal CBD oils. Oil does not always get past the cell membrane, mainly because our cells are 90% water. CBD extract has a water-soluble solution that can be absorbed far more effectively into the body.
If you’re interested in trying any CBD products, we always recommend discussing them with a health professional first.
