CBD
Cannabinoids are a class of naturally occurring chemical compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant that interact with the human endocannabinoid system to help maintain biological balance and regulate vital functions. While CBD (Cannabidiol) is the most prominent for its wellness and therapeutic applications, industrial hemp produces over 100 distinct phytocannabinoids—including CBG and CBN—each with unique molecular profiles and physiological effects.
