Should Seniors Try Products with CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a trend in the natural products industry and is at the center of a new research area on cannabis. CBD is one of the molecules uniquely produced by the cannabis family, and it is not psychoactive, meaning that it doesn’t have an effect on cognitive brain activity and does not cause the “high” feeling or euphoria associated with marijuana.
What is CBD?
Our brains have certain receptors that are designed to accept cannabinoids, also called CB1 and CB2. The receptors bring the cannabinoid molecules into your system, causing immune and psychoactive responses.
Chemically speaking, CBD is one of the 85 chemical substances known as cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It is separated and extracted from a particular cannabis strain, often known as hemp, and is chemically the second most common compound in hemp, as it typically accounts for 40% of all hemp extracts.
A full-spectrum hemp oil is described as hemp oil, which is obtained from whole hemp flowers and does not contain CBD isolate. It contains CBD isolates from the whole flower and from other parts of the plant, such as leaves, stems and buds.
CBD interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, but they have very different effects. The endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of cannabinoid receptors and neurotransmitters located in the brain, central nervous system, perpheral nervous system, and immune system.
It controls a large range of biological functions like your memory, cognitive performance, pain perception, stress management, mood regulation, and immune response on top of any others.
How does CBD make you feel?
It doesn’t make you feel high. Instead, it has a calming and warming effect on the body, it interacts with the receptors throughout the body to keep your endocannabinoid system in balance. This allows for positive effects on your brain, heart, immune system and more.
When we ingest CBD or apply it topically, it activates receptors in the nervous system, immune system, gastrointestinal tract and in many of our organs,. This gives the CBD it’s ability to positively benefit our mood, neurological function and heart health to name a few.

What is CBD Isolate?
CBD isolate is the purest form of this compound, made by pulling it from it’s natural environment and removing it from all other ingredients. The advantage of using CBD isolate over other formats is the highest concentration of CBD per serving. Isolates are usually 99% pure, meaning that one gram of isolate powder carries about 990 mg of CBD.
