CBD 101

The endocannabinoid system regulates a wide variety of physiological processes, such as mood, memory and appetite. While ingesting CBD elicits an interaction with our internal receptors, it does so in ways that are quite unique to each individual – which is to say – the effects CBD has on you may differ from the effects it has on others. 

These differences speak to the complexity of our own physiological processes and current state of wellness. With this in mind, we encourage people to experiment and listen to their own bodies. Different products combined with different ingestion methods will contribute to the effect it has on you. Other naturally occurring compounds found in hemp, like terpenes, also factor in to the equation. Thankfully, we provide detailed lab reports as well as suggested use guidelines with each of our products so you can monitor exactly how much CBD you’re intaking. 

Interestingly, CBD is really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of exploring the effects of other cannabinoids. Extract Labs has recently released a CBG tincture to its product line. We are really excited to explore other cannabinoids to see what types of health benefits they may have as well.
