What is cbd?

The cannabis plant contains more than 100 natural compounds known as cannabinoids. The most well-known of these compounds is tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short. While studies show that THC in low concentrations provides therapeutic benefits, it is psychoactive, and in higher concentrations causes the “high” that marijuana is well-known for. 

In recent years however, another cannabinoid has been rapidly gaining popularity due to its significant therapeutic properties.  

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a safe, non-addictive compound that, unlike THC, is non-intoxicating – which means that it won’t get you “high”.  When ingested, CBD interacts with our bodies through receptors in the Endocannabinoid System , which plays an essential role in regulating a vast range of physiological processes including pain-sensation, appetite, mood, memory, and motor learning.  

Many of us are looking for a more natural alternative to pricey pharmaceuticals that have harsh side-effects. Extensive research and studies have highlighted the therapeutic value of CBD when a quality supplement is added into your wellness plan.
