ABOUT CBD

What Is CBD?

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a chemical compound that comes from the hemp plant. It is one of over 85 unique compounds found in hemp, known as cannabinoids.
Cannabinoids, which can be either consumed (phytocannabinoids) or produced naturally by the body (endocannabinoid), are chemical compounds that interact with the body’s central regulatory system. This system is known to manage homeostasis and affect bodily processes such as appetite, mood and sleep.
CBD is an example of a phytocannabinoid. Although our bodies can naturally produce its own endocannabinoids that bind to cannabinoid receptors in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, phytocannabinoids are known to help to kickstart our central regulatory system.
Where Does It Come From?
CBD is extracted and separated from specific varieties of cannabis. It is the second most abundant compound in cannabis, typically representing up to 40% of its extracts.
CBD is a compound that can be found in both psychoactive cannabis (marijuana) and non-psychoactive cannabis (hemp). However, CBD products by Anti are made with extracts from hemp, as federal law allows for the cultivation, processing and marketing of hemp and hemp products

Does CBD Get You High?

CBD often gets mixed up with THC, which is another cannabinoid found in cannabis. Yet, it’s important to distinguish them as they have fundamentally different properties and benefits.
THC, an intoxicating and illegal substance, is responsible for causing marijuana users to get “high.” Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same pathways as THC. Thus, it is impossible to get “high” by smoking or ingesting CBD or CBD oil extracted from industrial hemp plants.
How Does CBD Affect The Body?
The body does create its own cannabinoids, called endocannabinoids, to help support our regulatory system. This central system helps to keep our bodies balanced day to day, including: appetite, pain sensation, mood, memory, immune system functions, and inflammation control.
Similar to how we use vitamin C to kick start our immune system, CBD acts as a kick starter for these cannabinoids to keep the receptors working at optimal capacity and to help the functions of the body’s central regulatory system.

How Much CBD Should You Take?

Consult with your physician before trying CBD and see if they have any recommendations. Everyone varies and the answer really depends on the person and the symptoms. Personally, I use about 66-132mg/day. Some previous patients have reported using as little as 10-25MG/day, while others use up to 750mg/day(cancer patients and people with severe symptoms). We recommend to start out with a smaller dose(1-2 full droppers of our 1000mg drops or 33-66mg/day) for a couple days. If that doesn’t feel like its working, up the dose to 66-132mg/day for a couple days. Increase the dosage until you feel the desired effects taking place.
