What is CBD? & how does it work?

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. CBD oil works naturally with the body’s own endocannabinoid system (ECS) to promote wellness, without getting you “high”. Researchers have demonstrated that CBD has multiple benefits throughout the body, making it a smart new addition to your wellness regimen.”

THC, is the other cannabinoid you might be most familiar with, mostly associated with getting high. Unlike THC, CBD is not intoxicating and instead offers many therapeutic benefits.

Without getting “too” technical, it’s important to understand the biochemistry behind it. The body already has it's own natural system of cannabinoid “receptors” in it. This system is called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).

Think of it has a set of radars throughout your body and your brain, looking for cannabinoid-type substances.

“What we’ve learned is that a lot of really important processes in our biochemistry, like sleep, depression, appetite, and cardiovascular regulation, are at least partly controlled by the endocannabinoid system and the cannabinoid-type substances that we make naturally in our bodies.” Samantha Miller | Biochemist and founder of Pure Analytics Laboratory

When we consume cannabinoids they work in collaboration with our ECS to effectively regulate many of the body’s regular functions - which is why, CBD positively impacts your appetite, energy, mood, and muscle recovery. This is called Homeostasis.

What is Homeostasis & why is Important for Health.

CBD works with the body’s own natural Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to effectively regulate and manage many of the body’s natural functions, positively impacting appetite, energy, mood, and sleep.

"Maintaining homeostasis" to be exact.

Homeostasis refers to any process or reaction that our body utilizes to actively maintain a constant internal environment. In many cases, these efforts to maintain balance are necessary for survival.

Why Homeostasis is important for health.

To survive, grow and function, organisms must be able to maintain stable internal environments. Uncorrected disturbances to equilibrium can lead to health problems, ranging from minor symptoms like headaches to more serious diseases like cancer.

Will it get me high?

There’s a big difference between the 2 most common compounds in cannabis - THC - gets you high. CBD - does not.

THC is the cannabinoid that prompts psychoactive effects commonly associated with marijuana, like the munchies, euphoria, relaxation. CBD is another cannabinoid, but, unlike THC, it's not psychoactive. CBD provides some of marijuana’s therapeutic effects such as pain relief and reduced inflammation without the high.

What are the benefits of taking it orally?

CBD can be taken by putting a few drops under the tongue, also known as sublingual. When you take a water-soluble formula sublingually, the cannabinoids are absorbed by the blood vessels lining the mouth, resulting in a quick onset of effects. You can also digest it in a beverage or mix it into your food.

What are the benefits of CBD for my fitness routine?

When taken before a workout, CBD improves endurance, plus it protects the breakdown of muscles, and slows down pain and inflammation.

Going into a yoga or meditation practice, CBD assists in calming the overactive mind to get more out of a session from start to finish.

Can I fail a drug test?

The history of regulation on cannabis products & CBD oil shows us that we really cannot always trust the government nor can we trust the people who make us perform “drug tests”.

And unfortunately, because CBD oil tends to contain trace amounts of THC, you are not always completely safe when taking it.
