PHYTOCANNABINOIDS
Cannabinoid compounds found in the Cannabis or Hemp Plant (Phyto means "plant")
There are over 100 phytocannabinoids, including:
CBD (cannabidiol)

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
A compound which has psychoactive effects and causes
the “high” feeling.
CBDA (cannabidiolic Acid)
The “raw” form or precursor to CBD, CBDA interacts with specific enzymes in the endocannabinoid system and is a wonderful way to help relieve inflammation and associated pain.
CBN (cannabinol)
A non-intoxicating cannabinoid, it Is a great option to help with arthritis, glaucoma, sleep and neurodegenerative diseases.
CBD can be used to supplement
any deficiency in the ECS.
ENDOCANNABINOIDS
Cannabinoid compounds produced by the body (endo means “within”).
ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM
Reasearch has shown that cannabinoids are an integral part of our endocannabinoids system (ECS). The ECS is a unique communication system in the brain and body that regulates many of the most vital life functions. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells.
The main purpose of the ECS is to regulate homeostasis—a state of equilibrium throughout the mind and body. It’s no surprise that a deficiency in the endocannabinoid system can impact a person’s physiological balance, which can result in pain, inflammation, emotional instability and many other ailments.
HOW CBD CAN HELP
CBD, or cannabidiol is one of the cannabinoids found in the cannabis or hemp plant. CBD can be used to supplement any deficiencies in the ECS. Studies have found that CBD has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumoral, anti-anxiety, antidepressant, antipsychotic, anticonvulsant and anti-nausea properties.
