Our bodies are constantly changing and our lifestyles are increasingly stressful, which is at the root of most lifestyle diseases. Here are quick answers on how to best use cannabis every day.
Why cannabis?
The cannabis plant has given new hope to people all over the world. It’s a safe and powerful natural supplement that contains unique nutrients that are vital. Cannabis allows us to take our health into our own hands.
How much?
According to doctors and cannabis experts, microdosing is the best way to consume cannabis and CBD. That is, 3-6 drops under the tongue 3 times a day – every day. Alternatively, 3 capsules 3 times daily. Even if you don’t feel it right away, the healing process is happening and you are making a difference.
For how long?
As long as it takes. Years of wear and tear on the body and a stressed nervous system can’t be changed overnight. But it provides much more quality of life while the body works on the root of the problem.
Bioavailability in a dietary supplement is crucial
Bioavailability refers to the degree to which nutrients can be absorbed and utilized in the body.
The first step to ensure uptake is to get it into the bloodstream. The nutrients then need to enter the cell so they can be distributed to the areas where they are needed. Our cells are surrounded by a fatty cell membrane that protects the inner cell nucleus. It’s a challenge for cannabinoids and other nutrients to penetrate, but the cannabis plant has a natural solution: terpenes.
Terpenes smooth the cell membrane so CBD and CBD-A can better penetrate. They also ensure the absorption of other vitamins and minerals from the diet. Terpenes are hugely healthy in their own right and work almost like CBD. Below you can see which terpenes are found in cannabis and their properties:
Terpenes are found in the highest concentration in FRESH and raw cannabis.
There are up to 1% terpenes in fresh cannabis plant and 0.1% terpenes in a dried plant.
Cannabis Juice contains 21 different terpenes with different properties such as:
Anti-septic
Anti-bacterial
Anti-depressant
Anti-insomnia
Anti-epileptic
Anti-inflammatory
