The CbdBase Hemp Complex – more than CBD oil!
About Hemp Complex : CbdBase offers raw, full spectrum diluted CBDA – CBD oil hemp extracts, unlike other products available on the market, which contain isolated CBD or CBD added wide spectrum or full spectrum oils only.
There are a variety of methods available to produce CBD oils. As a result of this, there are significant differences between their quality and therapeutic purpose. Heat treatment, for example creates a negative effect in manufacturing raw CBD. The price of CBD oils and the dosage of CBD oils depends on the ingredient content.
History and physiological benefits of therapeutic employment of hemp extract:
Hemp plant has been used for medical purposes all over the world for thousands of years. Between 1850 to 1937 it had been employed as primal medication for over 100 illnesses.
Hemp contains more than 1400 known compounds, but research is still ongoing in order to fully understand the plant. One of the main active compounds is CBD (cannabidiol). Research shows, that isolated CBD alone is less effective than a complex hemp extract.
What is the difference between the “raw” hemp extract and the “heat treated” extract?
Raw cannabinoids or cannabinoid acids constitute a new field of research concerning the active agents of the hemp plant. Hemp products circulating in commerce are mostly heat treated. Heat treatment is a viable method to homogenize cannabinoids into groups, and work with them further in isolated forms as well. Using this method some manufacturers separate one group of active ingredients from the full extract.
The majority of cannabinoids are present in their raw form within the hemp plant.
Most cannabinoids inside the hemp plant exist in their raw and crude, with other words, acidic form. The only difference between them is the presence of a carboxil group. Inside the fresh or raw plant material the acidic precursor occurs in much greater amounts than inside the heat treated products. In fact, the latter frequently doesn’t even contain these useful compounds at all. Cannabinoids acids are structurally heterogeneous compounds, whereas some of them are endogen molecules. Others are the metabolites of phytocannabinoids. Both acidic types have multiple biological effects, for instance low CB1 affinity, anti-inflammatory and analgestic properties.
What is CBDA or cannabidiolic acid, and how is it generated inside the hemp plant?
In the hemp plant all major cannabinoids first occur in “cannabigerolic acid” form (CBGA), therefore CBGA is also called “the mother of cannabinoids”. Plant enzymes typical of each Cannabis strain convert CBGA into three major cannabinoid precursor compound, that is:
– tetrahydrocannabinolic acid
– Cannabichromene acid (CBCA)
– Cannabidiolic acid (CBDA)
CBDA is the acidic precursor of CBD. For those who wish to consume CBDA, this means a necessity to join the trend of consuming hemp in its raw shape. CBDA exclusively occurs in non-heat treated hemp plants, and only in products manufactured with methods which entirely avoid heat treatment.
A 2013 study conducted by the Canadian Guleph researchers ascertained that CBDA binds one thousand times stronger to the specific serotonin receptors than CBD, which can have an anti-nausea and anti-anxiety effect.
Why choose full spectrum crude hemp oil?
Hemp Complex also contains further cannabinoids, and many valuable active phytocompouds besides its CBD and CBDA content. These are terpenes, flavonoids, chlorophyll, essential amino acids, omega-3, omega-6 etc. The ingestion of these together amplifies the beneficial impact, however these compounds have their own unique therapeutic value on their own.
What does raw hemp contain?
Strictly raw hemp extracts contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds, such as terpenes, flavonoids and essential amino acids.
During the production process we avoid any heat treatment technology.
We bypass heat treatment procedures, such as decarboxilation during production in order to leave cannabinoid acids, terpenes and other useful compound groups intact. Hemp plant in its raw form contains both CBD and CBDA. As a result of this procedure, this purest and most natural hemp oil contains cannabinoids, terpenes and lots of other natural compounds. These are able to produce the very best results through their synergic effect.
Area of employment for cannabinoids inside the full spectrum raw hemp extract (CBD oil), according to scientific research:
The figure shows, that the raw form of CBD is CBDA, the raw form of CBC is CBCA, the raw form of CBG is CBGA, the raw form of CBN is CBNA, the raw form of CBDV is CBDVA, and the raw form of THC is THCA, THC acid, that is, which is not a psychotropic substance in its raw form.
What is the secret of the outstanding efficacy of CbdBase’s Hemp Complex CBD oil?
The secret of Hemp Complex lies in its rawness
The secret of Hemp Complex lies in its rawness, and in the untouched unity and proportions of the natural phytocompounds and active ingredients within!
Besides CBD and CBDA, Hemp Complex contains cannabinoids and other valuable phytocomponds, such as terpenes, flavonoids, chlorophyll, essential amino acids, omega-3, omega-6. These compounds all have their unique therapeutical benefits. More:
Main terpenes in the industrial hemp
Terpenes and terpenoids are those compounds inside the hemp plant, which endow the plants and their extracts with a multitude of aromas and distinguishable flavours. Every Cannabis subspecies possesses a unique terpene profile, which differentiates its structure and terpene concentration. Terpenes are the main compounds within the volatile substances of plants.
Out of the multitude of compounds that occur in the hemp plant, more than 200 terpenes and terpenoids were identified. Terpenes are basically essential oils. Even though cannabinoids occur in greater proportions inside the hemp plant, terpenes have a certain regulatory function by the way of which they are able to influence the impact of hemp extract (CBD oil) on the human body.
Terpenes found in the industrial hemp:
The main terpene in the Hemp Complex
Hemp Complex contains more than 10 major terpenes, which fall in the following category:
- Class 1 terpenes: beta-myrcene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, beta-caryophyllene
- Class 2 terpene: alpha-humulene
- Class 3 terpenes: cis-nerolidol, alpha-cedrene
- Class 4 terpenes: isoborneol, alpha-terpinene, para-cymene
Read more about the influence of terpenes on the human body here: here
Why are terpenes and terpenoids important?
Similarily to cannabinoids, terpenes also bind to the receptors of the brain. Hence they stimulate various effects and influence the chemical excretion of neurotransmitters, moreover they have an impact on the dopamine and serotonin levels as well. Research proves the versatile effect of terpenes (see: aromatherapy), for example:
- Anti-inflammatory effect
- Analgesic effect
- Soporific effect
Research had also shone light on the fact that terpenes interact with such cannabinoids as CBD and THC, thus improving the body’s homeostasis by means of “synergy”. All naturally occurring constituents of the hemp plant – terpenes, cannabinoids and other natural compounds – work together synergistically to enhance and boost the benevolent features of the plant. Research findings suggest that isolated Cannabis compounds are less efficacious, compared to all natural constituents working in unison.
Flavonoids in CbdBase’s raw Hemp Complex oil
Flavonoids in Cannabis sativa L. plants
The group of flavonoids are one of the most useful compound groups supporting the human body. Presently flavonoids divided into 13 different compound groups, including 4000 defined, variously structured flavonoids. Flavonoids are the most well-known for their antioxidant properties. The flavonoids occurring in hemp are called cannaflavins. So far almost 20 have been identified. Read more about flavonoids here!
Endocannabinoid (ECS) or CBD system in the human body
Human endocannabinoid (ECS) system and the CB1 – CB2 receptors.
How does it work?
Endocannabinoids
Endocannabinoids, also called endogenous cannabinoids, are molecules made by your body. They are similar to cannabinoids, but your body produces them.
Experts have identified two key endocannabinoids so far:
- anandamide (AEA)
- 2-arachidonoylglyerol (2-AG) These help keep internal functions running smoothly. Your body produces them as needed, making it difficult to know what typical levels are for each.
Endocannabinoid receptors
These receptors are found throughout your body. Endocannabinoids bind to them in order to signal that the ECS needs to take action.
There are two main endocannabinoid receptors:
- CB1 receptors, which are mostly in the central nervous system
- CB2 receptors, which are mostly in your peripheral nervous system, especially immune cells
Endocannabinoids can bind to either receptor. The effects that result depend on where the receptor is located and which endocannabinoid it binds to.
For example, endocannabinoids might target CB1 receptors in a spinal nerve to relieve pain. Others might bind to a CB2 receptor in your immune cells to signal that your body’s experiencing inflammation, a common sign of autoimmune disorders.
Enzymes
Enzymes are responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids once they have carried out their function.
There are two main enzymes responsible for this:
fatty acid amide hydrolase, which breaks down AEA
monoacylglycerol acid lipase, which typically breaks down 2-AG
What are its functions?
The ECS is complicated, and experts haven’t yet determined exactly how it works, or all of its potential functions.
ResearchTrusted Source has linked the ECS to the following processes:
appetite and digestion
metabolism
chronic pain
inflammation and other immune system responses
mood
learning and memory
motor control
sleep
cardiovascular system function
muscle formation
bone remodeling and growth
liver function
reproductive system function
stress
skin and nerve function
These functions all contribute to homeostasis, which refers to stability of your internal environment. For example, if an outside force, such as pain from an injury or a fever, throws off your body’s homeostasis, your ECS kicks in to help your body return to its ideal operation.
Today, experts believe that maintaining homeostasis is the primary role of the ECS.
How does THC interact with the ECS?
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is one of the main cannabinoids inside the Cannabis plant. It’s the compound that gets you “high.”
Once in your body, THC interacts with your ECS by binding to receptors, just like endocannabinoids. It’s powerful partly because it can bind to both CB1 and CB2 receptors.
This allows it to have a range of effects on your body and mind, some more desirable than others. For example, THC may help to reduce pain and stimulate your appetite. But it can also cause paranoia and anxiety in some cases.
Experts are currently looking into ways to produce synthetic THC cannabinoids that interact with the ECS in only beneficial ways.
How does CBD interact with the ECS?
The other major cannabinoid occurring in Cannabis is cannabidiol (CBD). Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t make you “high” and typically doesn’t cause any negative effects.
Experts aren’t completely sure how CBD interacts with the ECS. But they do know that it doesn’t bind to CB1 or CB2 receptors the way THC does.
Instead, many believe it works by preventing endocannabinoids from being broken down. This allows them to have more of an effect on your body. Others believe that CBD binds to a receptor that hasn’t been discovered yet.
While the details of how it works are still under debate, research suggests that CBD can help with pain, nausea, and other symptoms associated with multiple conditions.
What about endocannabinoid deficiency?
Some experts believe in a theory known as clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD). This theory suggests that low endocannabinoid levels in your body or ECS dysfunction can contribute to the development of certain conditions.
A 2016 articleTrusted Source reviewing over 10 years of research on the subject suggests the theory could explain why some people develop migraine, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome.
None of these conditions have a clear underlying cause. They’re also often resistant to treatment and sometimes occur alongside each other.
If CECD does play any kind of role in these conditions, targeting the ECS or endocannabinoid production could be the missing key to treatment. However, more research is necessary about this topic.
What is the Entourage Effect?
Each terpenes and flavonoids possess their own, unique implications. When interacting with cannabonoids, they may amplify, or even multiply each other’s therapeutic influences. Researchers have found that the flavonoids occurring in hemp, for example:beta-sitosterine, vitexine, isovitexine, apigenine, kempferole, kvercetine, luteoline and orientine along with cannabinoids and terpenes they result a synegrical effect. This is what we call synergistic effect. In this case, various ingredients are able to work together effectively, therefore it is possible to raise or lessen the impact according to the necessities of the body. The concurrent presence of cannabinoids and terpenes accumulate a higher quality effect than the non-full spectrum, heat treated CBD oils.
Why choose raw hemp extract?
Only raw hemp extracts contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds, such as terpenes, flavonoids and essential fatty acids. During the production process we avoid any heat treatment method. This way, cannabinoid acids, terpenes and other useful compound groups stay intact in our products. Hemp plant in its raw form contains a significantly higher proportion of CBDA than CBD. Regarding the use of CBD oils it is easily observable that the more acidic components it has, the more effective and safer it is. When met with thermal stress, CBDA transforms into CBD. The biological merits of CBD are only a fracture of CBDA. Our raw Hemp Complex does not only feature mostly phytocannabinoids in their acidic form, but also contains significant amounts of thermounstable terpenoid and flavonoid compound groups.
We avoid heat treatment technologies during manufacturing, such as decarboxilation. For this reason the cannabinoid acids, terpenes and other beneficial compound groups stay intact in our products. Hemp in its raw state contains both CBD and CBDA. As the result of the process we gain the purest and most natural CBD oil, which contains cannabinoids, terpenes and many more natural compounds, which are able to employ their effect thanks to their synergistic collaboration.
Dosage for Hemp Complex
The dosage for our Hemp Complex containing non-heat treated, raw constituents significantly differs from the dosage of the isolated, wide or full spectrum heat treated CBD oils.
Raw ingredients always incorporate better in the body than heat treated substances! Read more about directions of use here!
