What is Hemp derived CBD?
Tree Kernels products are made from industrial hemp plants grown on American farms. Cannabidiol (CBD), a constituent that naturally occurs in industrial Hemp, is just one of over 100 cannabinoids that is identified in the cannabis plant. Our High Grade Hemp Oil is CO2 extracted resulting in a solvent free pure extract. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as cannabis or hemp. Over a 100 known cannabinoids have been found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most famous ingredient in cannabis. But CBD is obtained from hemp, a form of the Cannabis sativa plant that only contains small amounts of THC. Laws passed in 2018 made it legal to sell hemp and hemp products in the U.S. But that doesn't mean that all CBD products made from hemp are legal.
There is constant research being done on CBD and the results of that research is very promising. Some studies have found CBD may be effective in providing relief from various mental health conditions.
Scientific and clinical studies indicate that CBD could be effective in easing symptoms of a wide range of difficult to control conditions.
How does CBD affects the body?
Unlike THC, CBD does not directly bind to the CB1 or CB2 receptors. Instead, CBD suppresses the enzyme Fatty Acid Amide Hydroxylate (FAAH).
FAAH is responsible for breaking down anandamide, which is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for activating the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which trigger the body's natural protective Endocannabinoid response.
Does CBD and other natural hemp based constituents show up on a drug test?
CBD is considered to be undetectable in saliva or urine tests, though there remains a rare instance that the small trace amounts of THC may be detected. All of our products comply with all regulations regarding minimal THC content and our Broad-Spectrum High Grade Hemp Oil contains less than 0.3% of THC by volume, as required by law. However, if you are subject to regular drug screening, we recommend you check with your employer.
Be Good to Your Body
If it seems like everyone is selling CBD (short for Cannabidiol, a chemical compound from the cannabis plant), that’s because they probably are. Not all CBD is created equal. Perhaps the biggest caveat of CBD is that you have to make sure you’re getting a sustainable and safely sourced product as well as taking the appropriate dosage for your specific needs. Unfortunately, most of these sources are unregulated which means that if you’re not careful about where you’re purchasing CBD from, you may actually be buying a product that contains little or no CBD at all.
Many over-the-counter CBD products contain no CBD, or worse, may have dangerous ingredients in them like heavy metals or opiates. And it’s these easy access options, such as online retailers and even gas stations touting CBD products that often leave people skeptical of it. But that shouldn’t necessarily be the case either. It’s easy to be skeptical because of the profusion of CBD on the market. CBD is a very versatile medicine that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves over the past decades.
Our Benefits
Shop NowYou’re probably wondering what are the benefits of CBD? Unfortunately, we are not allowed to tell you! We wish we could because we are incredibly proud of what we do! Health claims are only permitted where approved by the FDA and based on accepted clinical trials. However, the US Food and Drug Administration currently prohibits all manufacturers of CBD products from making any claims about their ability to treat specific health conditions. Because CBD is relatively new to the market, clinical trials are still in process. We are confident the FDA’s oversight of the Hemp market will only help to distinguish our high-quality products from alternatives. Until the FDA approves clinical trials, we encourage our customers to look at the considerable amount of information from sources like Project CBD , a trusted and vetted source of all Hemp information. The nearly 20,000 research papers listed in the NIH PubMed library covering the cannabis plant's potential. And the countless testimonials from people all over the country who tell us how our products have changed their lives.
