What is CBD and How Does It Work in the Body?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found predominantly in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike THC, its well-known counterpart, CBD does not intoxicate, offering potential health benefits without the “high.” Though research is still in its early stages, CBD is gaining attention for possibly addressing several health issues, such as chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, and sleep disorders.

Interaction with the Endocannabinoid System

CBD’s effects on the body are primarily linked to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This complex cell-signaling system helps regulate crucial physiological and cognitive functions including:

• Mood
• Appetite
• Sleep
• Pain management

The ECS comprises three main components:

1. Endocannabinoids: Natural compounds produced by the body that help maintain balance.
2. Cannabinoid receptors: Sites located throughout the body where cannabinoids attach to exert their effects.
3. Enzymes: Responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids once they’ve fulfilled their role.

CBD’s Unique Mechanism

Unlike THC, which binds directly to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, CBD appears to influence the ECS in a more indirect manner. One of its primary roles is inhibiting the enzyme FAAH (Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase), which breaks down anandamide, an endocannabinoid often referred to as the “bliss molecule.”

By preventing FAAH from breaking down anandamide, CBD elevates its levels in the body, allowing this “feel-good” molecule to perform its functions longer. This not only supports the ECS but also aids in maintaining the body’s balance and promoting overall well-being.

Discover the nuances of CBD further by exploring its effects on various health aspects through more detailed studies and literature. The growing body of research offers insights into its potential applications, continually expanding our understanding of this fascinating compound.

To determine how many milligrams (mg) of CBD are in a dropperful (ml) of CBD oil depends on the oil’s concentration. Generally, CBD oils come in various strengths, with each strength indicating the amount of CBD per bottle.

Understanding CBD Oil Strengths

• Low Strengths: Oils labeled as lower strength may contain around 2-5 mg of CBD per dropperful (ml).
• Medium Strengths: A medium-strength oil might provide approximately 5-10 mg of CBD in each dropperful (ml).
• High Strengths: For those seeking a higher dosage, oils can deliver 10-20 mg or more per dropperful (ml).

Check Product Labels

When selecting a CBD oil, it’s crucial to check the product label, which should clearly indicate the concentration of CBD. This information will guide you in calculating the amount of CBD in per drop based on the oil’s strength.

Personalized Dose

It’s always advisable to start with a lower strength and increase as needed, paying attention to how your body responds. Keep in mind that individual factors like body weight and metabolism can influence how you experience CBD.

How to Determine the Optimal CBD Product Mix for Your Needs

If you’re looking to optimize your CBD routine and achieve the perfect dosage, here’s a step-by-step guide to finding the best combination of CBD products:

Steps to Calculate and Combine Your CBD Dosage

1. Determine Your Ideal Daily CBD Dosage
   • Assess Personal Factors: Consider your body weight, metabolism, and the condition you’re aiming to support.
   • Start Low and Adjust: Beginners may want to start with a low dosage and gradually increase until the desired effects are achieved.
2. Explore Product Combinations
   • Review Available Products: Research various CBD product types such as oils, capsules, edibles, and topicals from reputable third-party brands like Hempexco
   • Refer to Dosage Guides: Use guides or charts to match your daily dosage with possible combinations of products.
3. Experiment with Variations
   • Try Different Formats: Mix and match formats to see what works best for you. For example, use a CBD oil in the morning and a capsule in the evening.
   • Monitor Your Response: Track your progress and adjust the combination as necessary to enhance the effects.

By following these steps and personalizing your CBD product choices, you’ll be well-equipped to craft a regimen that suits your specific needs and preferences. Remember, patience and experimentation are key in discovering what works best for you.

Understanding the concentration and strength of your CBD oil will help you better gauge the dosage you require.

Step 1: Enter your weight or your pet’s weight

Step 2: Enter what level of dose you want

Step 3: Check the amount of Hempexco CBD in the bottle and enter (600, 1200, or 3000).

Step 4: Enter the number of ml in the bottle (All Hempexco tinctures are 30ml)

This calculator will tell you how many mg and how many ml (1ml-1dropperful) you should start with.

Remember, the great thing about CBD is that you determine how much to take based on how you feel. This puts your wellness in your control!
