A study in the Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry tested the impact of CBD on anxiety during a public speaking simulation. Subjects were given 150mg, 300mg, 600mg of CBD while others received a placebo.⁣
⁣
Interestingly, the subjects who took 300mg of CBD experienced significantly reduced anxiety. Those who took the placebo, 150mg, and 600mg of CBD didn't experience a big difference. ⁣
⁣
Taking the right dosage could make all the difference in using CBD to ease anxiety. Our medical professionals are happy to speak with you about your specific needs. Let's reach plant-based wellness together! 🙌🏼🌱

We focus on the clinical applications of CBD. One of the wonderful benefits that we have found in our customers using CBD products is the ability to titrate them away from benzodiazepines altogether. Recent studies are beginning to show the therapeutic potential of CBD across different disease states and medical conditions. We think that benzodiazepines will be the next opioid epidemic so it is important to focus on their use.

This retrospective study across 10 clinics in Canada of physicians who prescribed medical cannabis found that 45.2% of their patients had discontinued benzodiazepine use after three medical cannabis prescription courses. Although controversial, we think that CBD has a better safety profile to benzos and has more potential for use for many different needs.

Have you ever wondered where our CBD comes from? All of our CBD is sourced locally in California from the h**p plant to final product! Last weekend we visited our supplier Imperial CBD Extraction 2 hours east of Carlsbad to see how they extract CBD to produce the active ingredients in our products. We are thoroughly impressed by the quality of their work, equipment, and care they put into CBD extraction and appreciate the fascinating science and art behind it all.

To get to the final product, each batch is craft produced and verified in-house with high performance liquid chromatography as well as third party to check the make-up and purity of their products as well as identifying contaminants. We were surprised by their ability to identify contaminated and bad products and trace it down to the exact supplier and field that produces it, and remediate the process.

In all, we appreciate all of the hard work that goes into producing CBD.

With the myriad of products out there, over the counter CBD dosing and safety can be very confusing. We can look at a current FDA-approved CBD medication, EPIDIOLEX (cannabidiol) to guide our decision making for safe usage of CBD.

Safety: With most drugs, the more you take the higher the chance of having negative effects. Fortunately, CBD is generally well tolerated. For some people, positive effects may be seen as low as 25 mg/day, while EPIDIOLEX can be given up to 25mg/kg/day for seizures associated with TSC, LGS, and Dravet syndrome. For a 70 kg adult (154 lbs), that is up to 1,750 mg /day. At those doses, most common adverse effects include: elevated liver enzymes, diarrhea, decrased appetite, vomiting, somnolence, and pyrexia. Biggest precautions to CBD? Hypersensitivity with CBD and patients with liver problems.

So how much should I take? Clinical double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trials in healthy volunteers suggest that doses as low as 0.5mg/kg (35mg in a 70kg, 154lbs adult) can reduce anxiety when taken orally, and up to 600mg/day in most trials. This essentially covers most over the counter CBD products available.

Like most medicines, the key to get the right dosing is to slowly titrate the dosing up over a period of several weeks until the effects are felt. That way, you can maximize the effects of CBD while minimizing the side effects.

Sneak Peek to what we’ve been working on: TRUNano+ combining CBD isolate and terpenes. We have just recently invested in technology to allow us to join nanoemulsion-based techniques like those used in the pharmaceutical industry to increase the bioavailability, stability, and absorption of our products significantly. We’re in the very early stages and would love to hear what you think about it!

Latest research on the Runner's High due to Endocannabinoids -

A runner's high is the sense of well-being during endurance and running exercises typically characterized by euphoria. Previously it has been widely believed that the release of endogenous opioids, typically endorphins, is the source of a runner's high.

However, recent research in April 2021 suggests that the euphoria after endurance exercises such as running does not rely on opioid (endorphin) signaling. Older research in mice in October 2015 also showed that opioids are not necessary to produce the state of runner's high, but endocannabinoids were.

This is exciting for the world of CBD research that we are proud to be a part of. We may need to rewrite the books on human exercise physiology!

Terpenes are the essential oils of all plants, and in fact there are multiple terpenes within the cannabis plant itself. The most recognized terpenes are Limonene, Humulene, Pinene (alpha and beta), Linalool, Myrcene, and Beta-Caryophyllene. ⁣
⁣
Each terpene has a different effect on the body. ⁣
⁣
Terpenes such as Limonene and any Pinene's have an upper effect, giving the body a boosting happy feeling, while terpenes such as Myrcene or Linalool have a sedating effect, which can have a calming effect on your body. ⁣
⁣
Terpenes also have their own scent and flavor profiles. When your CBD or THC products have a certain scent, there are likely terpenes inside which can enhance the formulation by targeting a specific effect. ⁣
⁣
Research is key, so knowing which terpenes are in your products can help you better understand what kind of effect they will have on your body.
