WHAT IS THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT OF HEMP?
The Entourage Effect
Hemp plants contain over 120 cannabinoids, which are natural compounds with various positive effects. The hemp plant also contains many different natural terpenes.
When taken together, cannabinoids and terpenes work to enhance each other’s effects. This is what’s known as the entourage effect.
How does the Entourage Effect happen in the body?
The Endocannabinoid System is a very important system in the body. The body’s ECS is filled with tiny receptors that interact with cannabinoids to regulate your well-being, energy, sleep, and much more. These receptors use cannabinoids made by the body (Endocannabinoids) and those made by plants like hemp (Phyto cannabinoids). The two most well-known cannabinoids are CBD and THC.
Benefits of the Entourage Effect
The entourage effect improves the absorption of active ingredients.
When you purchase standard CBD oil, you are buying the compound in an isolated form with no other cannabinoids attached. However, the Whole Hemp plant, Full Spectrum, contains all the naturally occurring cannabinoids in the plant, along with trace amounts of THC.
Hemp Oil is derived from the whole plant. This is all the plant’s terpenes, essential fatty acids, waxes, carbohydrates, fibre, protein, magnesium, iron, calcium, chlorophyll, flavonoids, and vitamins A, B, C, and E, and beta-Carotene, as well as other various cannabinoids. This “full-spectrum” oil allows you to take advantage of the whole plant and its natural healing properties.
How does the Entourage Effect work?
The plant contains dozens of different cannabinoids that each have their own unique properties. CBD may be the most beneficial from a wellness standpoint, but the support of other cannabinoids can boost the performance of the compound and its ability to positively impact the Endocannabinoid System. Therefore, many people have been turning to full spectrum hemp as part of their daily wellness routine and their pets.
The diverse cannabinoid content in Ted & Co Hemp Oil helps to maximize the properties of the hemp plant as it enters your body.
What does the Entourage Effect feel like?
While CBD interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors, it does not bind to them. This is rather unusual among cannabinoids. By using Ted & Co hemp oil, you will be consuming a range of cannabinoids that bind to receptors located in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. You can think of the entourage effect as the enhancement of your endocannabinoid system using multiple cannabinoids.
