When the hemp flower is cold-pressed molecules called cannabinoids are extracted. Researcher have identified 113 different cannabinoid molecules in hemp with more still being discovered. For thousands of years, dating back to ancient China, the hemp plant has been used for medicinal applications. With the advent of modern medicine, hemp fell by the wayside. Now hemp is gaining attention for its possible health benefits.

Cannabinoids are molecules found in the hemp plant and also created within the human body. Inside of the body, cannabinoids act as chemical messengers. When they bind to receptors in the body, they transmit messages to other parts of the body providing instructions researchers say are vital to our health and daily functioning. Together the cannabinoids and receptors make up the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). For an easier understanding, think of receptors as the lock and cannabinoids as the key. The plant-based cannabinoids found in hemp are called phytocannabinoids. Cannabinoids made in the body are called endocannabinoids.

Just like the body has an immune system, digestive system and nervous system, the body has an Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Cannabinoids act as chemical messengers. The ECS creates endogenous cannabinoids and receptors for cannabinoids. When cannabinoids, the chemical messengers, bind to receptors in the body, they transmit messages to other parts of the body providing instructions researchers say are vital to our health and daily functioning.

Full-spectrum hemp flower extract means that none of the cannabinoids found in hemp have been removed. Together, the cannabinoids create the "Entourage Effect," which means that the cannabinoids may work together to create a more beneficial effect on the body than each can have individually.

Full-spectrum, also called broad-spectrum, means that the extract provides all of the potential beneficial properties of the hemp flower, some of which are still being discovered. Compared to the majority of hemp products on the market, full-spectrum hemp is not tampered with or isolated. Isolated hemp products have been reported to upset sensitive digestive tracts.

Yes, according to research, full-spectrum hemp creates a healthier, stronger result than any one cannabinoid could achieve alone. The scientific and medical community have named this compounded effect the “Entourage Effect.”

Research shows that hemp cannabinoids may:

• Relieve pain, especially chronic pain

• Treat depression by elevating and balancing mood
• Relieve anxiety by creating a calming effect

• Regulate the sleep cycle, relieving insomnia
• Reduce inflammation

• Boost memory
 and other brain functions
• Immune system
 support
• Offer special benefits for women including hormone regulation
