What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of cannabinoid, a chemical found naturally in cannabis (marijuana and hemp) plants. Early research is promising regarding the ability of CBD oil to help relieve anxiety. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another type of cannabinoid, CBD doesn’t cause any feelings of intoxication or the “high” you may associate with cannabis. CBD is also known for its ability to relieve stress and anxiety in the brain.

How does that exactly work?

Well, let’s start by talking about the human body and its many different receptors. CBD is thought to interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors. These receptors are mostly found in the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, respectively. These receptors are part of our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), this system in the brain is responsible for so many of our day-to-day functions. A few of these functions include mood, sleep, appetite, memory, etc. There is still a lot that is being discovered about this system in our bodies.

What has been discovered is amazing. We all have this ECS in our systems, even if you haven’t had any form of cannabis in your system. When we are born, this system in our brains is in a form of homeostasis, though over time it can become unbalanced. That’s where CBD can come in to help. The endocannabinoids can bind to either receptor, the effects that result depend on where the receptor is located and which endocannabinoid it binds to. The CB1 receptors are located in the brain and throughout the body, while CB2 receptors are found mostly in the immune and gastrointestinal system; although CB2 receptors are also found in the brain, they are not expressed quite as densely as CB1

receptors. We have another blog that goes deeper into this topic.

What type of CBD can help with my anxiety?

At AHS, we have many different products that help with differing levels of anxiety. For example, we have our personal brand of gummies that have shown amazing results with clients. One of the most popular choices is our AHS Clarity gummies. What makes this product so special is the unique CBG/CBC compound. These ingredients together help with higher anxiety, mood, focus, mental clarity, and even pain. This product has 20mg CBC, 30mg CBG, 25mg Ashwagandha, and 5mg Full Spectrum CBD. All of these ingredients together give your body the relaxation it needs to come down from high anxiety. This has be shown to help alleviate these symptoms within half an hour or so. This form of intake goes through your digestive system, which the CBD (also having anti-inflammatory properties) can also help with any stomach aches or pains you may be having.

Another intake option would be a tincture/CBD oil that works throughout your entire body and more with your brain’s receptors. While gummies are good for anxiety you’re having at the moment, a tincture helps with overall anxiety and bodily care. You take the oil by leaving it under the tongue for about thirty seconds to a minute, allowing the CBD to enter into your blood stream faster. The CBD oil works best when taken in the morning and before bed so it can stay in your system for a full 24 hour period. The tincture can help with overall health by putting your brain in homeostasis as mentioned before. It’s like putting part of your body in an optimal setting.

Though, if you’re having other medical conditions, always speak to your doctor before trying new treatments. For generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) says that CBD has been shown to reduce stress in animals such as rats. Study subjects were observed as having lower behavioral signs of anxiety. Their physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as increased heart rate, also improved. CBD may also benefit people with other forms of anxiety, such as social anxiety disorder (SAD) and post- traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It may help treat anxiety-induced insomnia as well. In 2011, a study researched CBD’s effects on people with SAD. Participants were given an oral dose of 400 milligrams (mg) of CBD or a placebo. Those who received CBD experienced overall reduced anxiety levels.

If you take any medications or have any questions on how you should take CBD, we have many specialists and a nurse on staff at AHS who can help answer any questions you may have.

Have you tried a broad spectrum product but it wasn’t enough for your body? Well we are happy to introduce our Premium gummies. They are full spectrum, having a legal limit of THC 0.3%. Through this blog we are going to be breaking down what is in the gummy as well as its benefits. This gummy is watermelon flavored. It is for moderate to higher levels of anxiety and stress. As well as moderate to high levels of pain. Our gummies come in a 10pk and a 30pk.

This gummy has 25mg of full spectrum. Full spectrum CBD is one of three main types of CBD and refers to products containing CBD alongside other active compounds found in the hemp plant, such as terpenes, flavonoids, and other cannabinoids, including THC. Terpenes are a class of natural chemical compounds commonly found in plants. According to federal law, the maximum amount of THC by dry weight that can be present in CBD products made from hemp plants is 0.3%.

This gummy also has 25mg of CBG. The cannabis plant contains the cannabinoid cannabigerol (CBG). This substance is frequently referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids.” This is due to the fact that CBG’s acidic form, cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), is the source of other cannabinoids. CBG is a cannabinoid found in cannabis plants, but in much lower concentrations than cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Consumer goods made from cannabigerol are consequently rare and frequently expensive. But due to the
numerous possible advantages the cannabinoid offers, CBG is becoming more and more well-liked.

This product does have a 1:1 ratio of CBD/CBG meaning that the product contains equal amounts of CBD and CBG. Both have beneficial health and wellness properties. Some people might find that they feel more benefit from one or the other, while others feel that CBD and CBG balance each other and have a better effect when taken together.

The difference between broad spectrum, full spectrum and isolate is that Full Spectrum CBD contains the full cannabinoid profile of the plant including THC up to the 0.3% THC legal limit. The product contains all the natural fatty acids and terpenes originally present in the plant as they remain through the extraction process. Broad Spectrum CBD maintains the cannabinoid profile but is further refined to remove THC. These products are often labeled as “THC-Free” or “0.0% THC”. COA’s should show THC as “Non Detectable” for these products. CBD that is fully refined to 99.9% purity and has all cannabinioids removed is known as CBD Isolate. This is normally in a powder form and while it does offer some therapeutic benefits, you really need the full cannabinoid profile to maximize the full potential of the product. This is why our products traditionally fall into either the Full or Broad Spectrum categories.

Now I am going to be discussing its benefits with this gummy. This is roughly how much it can help but there is more.

In conclusion, CBD full spectrum and CBG bind together and can help the body in many different ways. With its strong properties within CBD and CBG it can target the receptor a lot quicker with a 1:1 ratio. Having the legal limit of 0.3% of THC can make a difference to target the receptor a lot quicker to relieve whatever pain, anxiety, and nausea etc. If you have any questions about these products feel free to reach out to us.

This gummy has 25mg of Broad Spectrum CBD. Broad Spectrum CBD contains a variety of active cannabis components, such as cannabinol (CBN) and terpenes, which are the naturally occurring fragrant chemicals found in plants, broad-spectrum CBD is similar to full-spectrum CBD in this regard. Due to the fact that CBD is still mostly unregulated, broad-spectrum CBD products may vary depending on the producer in terms of the cannabinoids and other substances they include.

This gummy also has 25mg of CBG. The cannabis plant contains the cannabinoid cannabigerol (CBG).
