According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 23.5 million Americans, which is more than 7% of the population, suffer from an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells.

There are many different autoimmune conditions that affect how the body functions, but even people with high functioning immune systems can benefit from supplements. Boosting immune health helps prevent disease, and hopefully will lead to a long and happy life.

Since the immune system and our endocannabinoid system (ECS) are intertwined a great deal, it makes sense to use CBD for preventative measures.Whether it’s flu season or you just want to make sure your body is fighting against all of the daily chemicals and pollutants that we come into contact with, you can take a small dose of CBD to reap different health benefits.

Various studies have connected oxidative stress due to free radicals to central nervous system diseases, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, diabetes, genetic degenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders. Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and aging.Several lab studies support CBD as an antioxidant and neuroprotective chemical.

The effect takes place through the triggering of the cannabinoid receptors in our ECS. CBD’s chemical structure has a free oxygen atom. This free oxygen atom can be donated to free radicals to neutralize them. This is what makes CBD an excellent antioxidant.

CBD has also been found to have neuroprotective properties so it can guard the body against neurodegenerative diseases.There have been studies conducted on the antioxidant properties of CBD. In one such study it was found that CBD can reduce hydro-peroxide toxicity in neurons.

Another study also revealed that CBD’s antioxidant properties are more potent than those of Vitamins C & E by 30% to 50%. CBD Tinctures ranging from 600mg to 1500mg could be perfect for boosting immune system and acting as a powerfulantioxidant.
