Hemp Extract / CBD

Updated: Jul 30, 2022

Depending on how much you know about CBD, cannabinoids and hemp extract, you may be intrigued by this health supplement and interested in trying it. But with all the varying news coverage out there, you could easily be confused. Here are some easy answers to the most common questions.


Hemp extract comes from the aerial parts of the plant - stems, leaves, flowers. It's here that we find beneficial phytocompounds called phytocannabinoids. One phytocannabinoid in particular- CBD or cannabidiol - gets a lot of attention for its benefits to the human body. That is because CBD and the other phytocannabinoids integrate into an internal system called the Endocannabinoid System. The purpose of this network of receptors in the body is to keep them functioning and in good health. Our body can produce its own cannabinoids (called endocannabinoids) to help keep everything in balance, but external toxins, poor diet, and different lifestyle factors can affect how they work in the body, so supplementing with a phytocannabinoid is an easy way to keep up good health. Hemp extract and phytocannabinoids integrate with our internal Endocannabinoid System. This network of receptors exists in our immune system, the central nervous system, and within many organs to support major bodily processes.


Hemp's phytocannabinoids, like CBD, fit into the cannabinoid receptors of the Endocannabinoid System, much like a key fits into a lock to "unlock" health benefits. The benefits of CBD hemp extract are many, though our bodies are unique, as is the ways that we treat them — from the food we eat to the way we sleep, rest, and work — everyone experiences something a little different. Some of the most common uses for CBD are for relief from everyday stresses, help in supporting restful sleep, reduction in inflammation and pain, and to bring about a sense of calm and focus.
