CBD has profound benefits throughout the body
CBD is perhaps most well-known for its benefits to the brain. Previously we have discussed issues like sleep, mood, stress, anxiety and inflammation. Those are powerful and significant all on their own. But research and experience is revealing that CBD has profound benefits throughout the body. Endocannabinoid System (ECS) receptors are found in abundance in the gut.
What is emerging in the science is that the ECS receptors are found throughout the body but especially in the brain and gut is where most of the heavy lifting is done. This connection between the brain and the gut has emerged to be one of the most important realizations of the past decade. We even hear of the gut referred to as the second brain. And we know when the gut is out of sorts, our whole system suffers.
In this interview Miles Sarill discusses the emerging science of CBD and he brings together some very interesting and important points. One of the most important points is that not all industrial hemp is the same. Therefore CBD extracts from different strains yields different compounds. Not all extracts are the same. Here is a link to a recent study comparing extracts from 4 different strains of industrial hemp. The results reveals that one strain, Futura 75, gave the best results compared to the other 3 strains. Futura 75 is a strain used by CV Sciences. This is not a coincidence. The best extracts come from the best strains.
Even products from one company will vary. CV Sciences makes 3 different types of CBD products. These are not just different potencies but distinct products from one another. These are just a few of the distinctions you should know. I have discussed how to evaluate your CBD company and you can find that interview here. As I always advise: find a good, responsible and transparent company first. Once you’ve identified companies you can trust, and then explore their products with confidence. The best products are the ones that work best for you. Don’t buy the hype.
The main focus of this interview is CBD for gut health. Miles reveals that the gut contains many CBD receptors sites and the influence of CBD in the gut is profound. As always we are considering the nutritional influences of CBD to help the body function more normally. CBD is a food that has been consumed by humans for thousands of years.
Miles discusses the benefits of CBD for gut issues such as leaky gut*. He also discusses how gut health may affect skin health* and how improving gut health* may then also provide benefits for other issues. This brings up an important concept. CBD does not heal the gut. CBD does not heal the skin or other tissues. CBD does not heal the brain, etc. CBD and all other nutrients nourish the body. The magic is in the body’s ability to heal, repair and maintain when properly nourished.
Dosages vary in the marketplace and the quality of the products is all over the place. Miles discusses typical dosage recommendations between 1 and 15 mg. once or twice per day. He suggests that starting low allows you to work up to the most effective dosage. You can also experiment with the different types of CBD products created by CV Sciences and see if one works better than the other. Remember, lower doses may actually work better.
