Cannabinoids are compounds found in different varieties of Cannabis plants including industrial hemp. Over 1200 unique chemical compounds have already been identified in this wonderful plant. Hundreds of them are terpenoids. Terpenoids are compounds that give fruits, flowers, and herbs their characteristic aromas, flavors, and other properties beneficial for your health. Cannabinoids are a sub-class of terpenoids.
There are over 144 cannabinoids that can be found in different varieties of hemp and cannabis. They have many beneficial effects on the human body due to their ability to interact with endocannabinoid receptors in the human body.
CBD hemp oil is extracted from industrial hemp biomass. CBD oil contains significant amounts of cannabidiol (CBD). The supercritical CO2 extraction is the most common extraction process that preserves in the extract also all other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and nutrients from the plant.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the primary cannabinoid in industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). In recent years there is increasing interest in the therapeutic potential of CBD. CBD is a cannabinoid which causes no psychotropic effects, and even in long-term uses does not cause significant side effects.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS), named after the plant that led to its discovery, is a group of endogenous cannabinoids and corresponding endocannabinoid receptors located in the brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems and organs of humans and many animals. It is a »command and control« set of biochemical communication between endocannabinoids produced naturally by the human body and the receptors which are involved in processes such as thinking, memory, coordination, pleasure and time perception. In addition to endocannabinoids, also phytocannabinoids, the cannabinoids that derive from a plant, can interact with the endocannabinoid system, which results in a number of beneficial effects on the human body.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning that you cannot get “high” or intoxicated by consuming CBD oil drops, as well as any other raw natural product deriving from industrial hemp plants for that matter.
Our CBD products are all made from industrial hemp, which only contains trace amounts of THC (less than 0.2%), so there is no psychoactive effect deriving from taking Le Pharm products.
CO2 extraction is an extraction process that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to extract phytochemicals (such as cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, etc.) from a plant. CO2 at certain temperatures and pressures acts like a solvent. It is one of the most expensive extraction methods, however, it is widely used due to the high effectiveness, safety and environmentally-friendly approach of processing plant materials.
Cannabigerol, also known as CBG is the cannabinoid from which other cannabinoids found in the plant are produced. This is why you may hear CBG be referred to as the “parent” molecule in plants. It is gaining popularity lately due to its potential benefits on the human body.
Full spectrum extract means that a product contains extract with CBD and a wide range of other cannabinoids that are naturally occurring in the cannabis plant. Full spectrum CBD products are typically high in CBD, with lower amounts of minor cannabinoids, and only traces of THC. Full spectrum products are considered more effective than products that contain only CBD isolate.
CBD-based products may help improve your dog’s quality of life, and also other pets’ lives.
Terpenes are a class of volatile hydrocarbon compounds produced in the cannabis plant. Terpenes are compounds that give cannabis its distinct aromas and smell and have been utilized by humans for millennia in aromatherapy. Terpenes are recognized as safe for human consumption by the Food and Drug Association and are used in a wide variety of food and cosmetic products.
CBD isolate is a pure, crystalline powder, containing only CBD molecule, which is isolated from cannabis/hemp. All other compounds present in biomass such as oils, chlorophyll, terpenes, other cannabinoids are removed during the processing.
The »entourage effect« is a desirable effect of products that contain a full spectrum extracts as it is known that CBD in combination with other natural compounds found in cannabis is more efficient than when used alone. Scientists also like to use the term “synergistic effect of several components” which means similar – more compounds have a more potent effect when used together if compared to the sum of effects by using the individual compound.
CBD-infused skincare products have the potential to assist you in keeping your skin moisturized, protected against the harmful effects of UV radiation. CBD’s antioxidant properties help to visibly reduce skin dullness, fine lines, and wrinkles. CBD is also effective in exfoliating and cleansing of the pores, reducing breakouts and redness of your skin.
