Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid. Phytocannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the hemp plant. There are over 80 different phytocannabinoids; cannabidiol is one of them.
The US Department of Health & Human Services has patented (#6630507) a diverse group of plant chemicals, phytocannabinoids, as "neuroprotectants."
Research shows significant potential for phytocannabinoids to be a valuable contributor to health & wellness. Hemp contains other beneficial phytocannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol, tetrahydrocannabivarin, cannabigerol, cannabichromene, and cannabinol.
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a collection of cell receptors within a mammal's body. Scientists discovered this system in the 1990s.
Phytocannabinoids work with the mammalian Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which is a vast and vital receptor system essential for maintaining homeostasis, or health. This receptor system exists in the immune system, the central nervous system, and within many organs. The ECS accepts our bodies' own endocannabinoids as well as the phytocannabinoids found in hemp.
