Here’s your crash course on CBD

What is CBD

CBD stands for “Cannabidoil” which is a naturally derived plant compound.

Comes From Hemp

The Hemp plant is distantly related to cannabis but genetically different than the marijuana plant.

Less Than 0.3% THC

This extremely low level of THC produced in CBD is not enough to produce a "high.”

Oral Absorption Is Better Than Digestion

Favour
Gum
Provides
Over 80% Bio-Availability After Chewed

Bio-availability is the degree to which CBD is absorbed into your bloodstream to be used where it is needed.

What most people don’t know is that from ingestible forms of CBD (i.e. gummies, drinks, and capsules), the user loses over 80% of the CBD’s bio-availability as it passes through the digestive system.

Our chewing gum ensures that you get a higher bio-availability of the CBD in each piece. As you chew, ingredients get absorbed into the oral mucosa in your mouth (lining of the cheeks and lips) and glands under the tongue, delivering the CBD up to 5x faster than ingested pills or liquids.

How CBD Interacts With Our Endocannabinoid System

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a vital component to our body’s ability to maintain homeostasis (its optimal condition to function). The two main cannabinoid receptors are the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are found in the Central Nervous System (CB1) and Peripheral Nervous System (CB2).

Our ECS is made up of tiny receptors throughout our body that interact with cannabinoids produced inside of us and in plants. When CBD comes into contact with these receptors in our body, it has the potential to provide relief from anxiety, inflammation, mood swings, common lows, digestion, stress, and more.
