According to the US National Library of Medicine, Cannabidiol, popularly called CBD, is a chemical compound from the Cannabis sativa plant. It also goes by the names of marijuana and hemp. This naturally occurring substance is used in oils and other edible products to relax and calm the user. CBD isn’t psychoactive contrary to its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), that contains marijuana as the major active ingredient.
In the countries where it’s legal, CBD is now available in many forms in almost every nook and corner. There are coffee shops selling CBD lattes, spas offering CBD facials, beauty companies selling lotions with CBD or hemp oils in their formulas. The users are all including the people suffering from anxiety to the senior citizens having arthritis. CBD gummies are being purchased by many. Visit website to know more about this.
Two main layers of the cannabis plant are the CBD and THC, where the CBD is the non-psychoactive portion meaning it does not give euphoria like effects i.e. the user does not feel sedated or altered in anyway, according to Junella Chin, DO, an osteopathic physician and a medical cannabis expert for cannabisMD.
But one needs to be careful while taking any supplement as every supplement reacts differently in each body. Medical supervision is advised at all costs before taking the CBD to ensure it is safely consumed.
FDA does not regulate CBD. So it is important that one buys third-party-tested CBD for quality assurance. People tend to buy products that are more advertised. Thus one ends up buying a product that is more or less potent than advertised, or contains small amounts of THC. So it is important a product is taken under medical supervision from a valued seller.
