CBD DEFINED
​
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid scientifically referred to as cannabidiol.
​
Cannabinoids are phytochemicals found in varieties of cannabis sativa including industrial hemp. There are over a hundred cannabinoids identified in hemp.
​
Other phytochemicals include flavonoids, polyphenols and terpenes.
​
The phytochemicals are found in glandular heads known as trichomes.
​
Phytochemicals are natural chemicals produced by plants as a response to stress and their environment.
Why is CBD ingested?
​
Cannabinoids bind to receptors that are apart of the endocannabinoid system.
​
Researchers have found that the endocannabinoid system contains CB1 receptors and CB2 receptors.
​
Researchers have further identified that your endocannabinoid system is a homeostatic modulator.
​
Homeostasis is known biologically as your bodies' natural balancing of internal, physical and chemical reactions.
