WHAT IS CBD?
What Is CBD?
Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid found abundantly in the hemp plant. CBD is only one of many naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the hemp plant as well as in other plants in the cannabis family. Outside of THC, which is the most abundant cannabinoid, CBD is the second most active and studied cannabinoid.
What Are The Benefits Of CDB And Broad-Spectrum Hemp Supplements?
Many people incorporate CBD into their daily routine to support their endocannabinoid system (ECS) which is responsible for regulating and balancing many processes in the body. CBD, or cannabidiol, is only one of over 113+ cannabinoids that can be extracted from the hemp plant. Researchers have found that these plant compounds have a better effect on the body when they work together, rather than in isolation. This is known as the “entourage effect”. This means that CBD and the accompanying compounds can support the body more completely than just CBD. Lotus Organix CBD is a broad-spectrum cannabinoid extract that includes CBD and other cannabinoids and beneficial plant compounds like terpenes and flavonoids but without THC, the psychoactive component.
HOW DOES CBD WORK?
The human body has a vast network of receptors called the Endocannabinoid System. The purpose of this system is to help our body stay balanced and in good overall health, even when external factors and certain lifestyle choices have diminished our wellbeing. CBD and other cannabinoids fit into the receptors of the Endocannabinoid System, helping the body complete its effort to keep us in good health by supporting many of the body’s physical processes. Learn more about the Endocannabinoid System.
How Does CBD Work?
Cannabinoids naturally occur in the human body and interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) through receptors found throughout the body’s tissues and nervous system. CBD works by binding to these receptors and acts as a signal that triggers various biological pathways. It is thought to produce therapeutic effects by simultaneously activating multiple pathways throughout the body.

WHAT CBD PRODUCT IS BEST FOR ME?
What is the difference between Broad Spectrum, Full Spectrum and CBD Isolate?
CBD Isolate is the individual CBD molecule that has gone through a chemical process to extract the CBD. It is typically the least expensive and also the least effective form of CBD. Why is isolate the least effective form? Research has shown that when CBD is combined with other naturally occurring cannabinoids, the overall effect is greater than CBD isolate by itself.
Full spectrum utilizes the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, which are then extracted and processed to create a final product that contains all the compounds in the plant, including THC. Our broad spectrum products use this full spectrum oil and further purifies it, removing any traces of heavy metals or other undesirable by-products and also removing the THC.
