Learn more about our CBD and Vitamins

CBD – short for cannabidiol – is a compound derived from the hemp plant. Not to be confused with the marijuana that some people smoke, CBD oil is legal and contains very little or none of the ‘psychoactive’ compound THC. Cannabidiol is a popular natural remedy used for many common ailments.

CBD is not psychoactive, when we take a CBD product, it interacts with our endocannabinoid system. That’s right, we have a natural system for these endocannabinoids to interact with, which is why it can help with such a myriad of ailments. This physiological system is made up of millions of CB1 and CB2 receptor sites. CBD has been credited with relieving numerous medical conditions, such as epilepsy, anxiety, inflammation, insomnia, and pain. Although “credited” does not mean proven. Because of the historical regulatory landscape, there are hardly any well-conducted trials backing up those claims, although research is expected to ramp up now that laws distinguish between hemp and marijuana.
