NuLeaf Naturals is one of America’s top pioneering hemp companies. Founded by a group of plant medicine aficionados. Since 2014 NuLeaf Naturals has been committed to creating the world’s highest quality cannabinoid products in their most pure and potent form. Those full spectrum cannabinoid extracts contain no additives and the only ingredient is organic hemp.
Did you know the cannabis plant has over 100 cannabinoids e.g. CBD, CBC, CBG, THC that are being scientifically investigated for their health benefits? Cannabinoids have powerful anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties that work naturally with the human body’s Endocannabinoid System to produce a wide variety of health benefits.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) comprises three component parts: endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and enzymes. These work together to create homeostasis, or simply put, a state of balance within the body’s internal systems. The ECS interacts with numerous parts of the body, constantly making precise adjustments in order to maintain a consistent state of equilibrium.
Endocannabinoids bond with different cannabinoid receptors in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in immune cells — the two primary receptors being CB1 and CB2. Then, special enzymes go to work, helping to break down any already-used or excess endocannabinoids, further assisting in maintaining homeostasis.
A non-psychoactive cannabinoid. CBC acts as a real team player and works with other cannabinoids to increase their effects. CBC works differently than other cannabinoids. Most cannabinoids interact with CB1 or CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system and help with increasing the production of our endocannabinoids. CBC likely does this as well, but it mostly supports the body’s endocannabinoids by working with receptors responsible for inflammation and pain response TRPA1 and TRPV1.
Since CBC promotes the production of endocannabinoids and the reduction of inflammatory substances, it may significantly help in moderating pain and inflammation.
Studies show CBC may support the body’s natural regeneration of nerve cells known as neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs). NSPCs are essential for the repair of damaged nerve cells and healthy brain function. CBC may also help balance skin inflammation such as the kind seen with acne.
CBC may help with pain – CBC has a much higher affinity for your nervous system’s TRPV1 receptors than CBD, which could make this cannabinoid a highly useful analgesic. Your TRPV1 receptors control the sensation of inflammatory pain in your body, and the pain caused by arthritis and many other common conditions is inflammatory in nature.
CBC may help your mood – The endocannabinoid system (ECS) produces endogenous cannabinoids. One of these molecules is called anandamide. Anandamide is primarily responsible for the generation of pleasure and motivation. CBC interact with our serotonin receptors through TRPV1. CBC taken along with CBD and THC together which can contribute to the overall mood-elevating properties of cannabis.
CBC may help your skin – Like any other cannabinoids, CBC also has benefits on the skin especially when applied topically. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, CBC can help in soothing inflammation of the sebaceous glands and cutting down sebum production which are keys to controlling acne. Apply CBC oil on your skin or add daily to your moisturiser.
While some of the effects of CBC overlap with the effects offered by CBD, these cannabinoids are different enough to merit using them together. In addition, combining two or more cannabinoids appears to provide the entourage effect, an as-yet unexplained phenomenon that appears to enhance the effects of cannabinoids when more than one of these unique Cannabis sativa compounds are ingested at the same time. Therefore, instead of choosing between CBD and CBC, you might want to use both of these cannabinoids simultaneously.
All the compounds in cannabis work together, and when taken together, they produce a better effect than when taken alone.
