Did you know that the hemp plant contains over 113 different cannabinoids? This amazing diversity is the key to a deep understanding of the effects and benefits that hemp holds for our body and mind. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the different cannabinoids contained in the plant. But also on its unique functions and the so-called entourage effect. We also share our views on why this topic is particularly important to us and why we are bringing it closer to our community.

What are cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in the hemp plant. They interact with our endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that plays an important role in regulating various bodily functions. Although CBD and THC are the most well-known cannabinoids, there are many others that are worth discovering.

The entourage effect

One exciting aspect of cannabinoids is the entourage effect. This describes the phenomenon that the various cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds in the hemp plant act synergistically and thus enhance the overall effect. This means that the combination of these substances often produces stronger effects than isolated compounds. These synergies open up new possibilities for therapeutic applications.

The unknown cannabinoids

While CBD and THC are already the subject of intensive research, there are many other cannabinoids that are still largely unexplored. These include compounds such as CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN (cannabinol), which could show promising properties. These lesser-known cannabinoids could potentially help in the treatment of pain, anxiety or sleep disorders – but more scientific studies are needed to confirm this.

Our views

We believe that the potential of the hemp plant goes far beyond what is currently known and so we have a particular interest in bringing this to the attention of society. At a time when many people are looking for natural alternatives to conventional medicines , it is crucial to understand the full range of active ingredients in the hemp plant. It is our conviction that comprehensive research and education will not only increase knowledge about the hemp plant, but also revolutionize its use in health promotion.

Why are we reporting on this?

Knowledge is power: We want to give you the opportunity to make your own informed decisions about the use of hemp products, but also to know what they do to your body. By sharing knowledge about lesser-known cannabinoids, we hope to highlight the benefits for health and well-being.
