The main compound is extracted from the hemp plant is cannabidiol, or CBD, a cannabinoid, that has been known to aid in reducing inflammation and helping users to calm their mind and body.
There are a number of methods of extracting the oils from the plant. Some extract only the cannabinoids, like CBD, in as pure a form as possible, while others pull many more compounds from the plant, like the minor cannabinoids and terpenes (more on that below).
Care By Design Hemp has conducted extensive research to learn how different combinations of hemp compounds react in the body. While CBD alone is very effective, it is made even more powerful by the inclusion of other minor cannabinoids from the plant, like CBG or CBDV (there are as many as 200). This interplay between compounds is known as the Entourage Effect.
