Learn About CBD

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is the major non-psychoactive component of hemp.

How does CBD work in the body?

It was discovered 30 years ago that all humans have their own ECS (Endocannabinoid System) in their bodies.

Every ECS comprises of two types of receptors, CB1 and CB2, which serve distinct functions in human health and well being. The receptors are the chemical messengers responsible for maintaining optimal balance in the body -- aka; Homeostasis. When your body is not in a state of homeostasis you are more susceptible to illness with a weakened immune system that can affect your sleep, mood, appetite, motor control, memory, pain sensors and more! All cannabinoids, especially CBD, affect receptors CB1 and CB2 to produce many positive effects that have been identified in clinical studies to help maintain a state of homeostasis.

Potential Health Benefits

CBD has natural pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found CBD significantly reduced chronic inflammation and pain in laboratory test subjects. Research also suggests that non-psychoactive CBD compounds successfully treat chronic pain in humans. CBD is already in use for conditions such as multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's, ADD, ADHD, PTSD, sleep disorders, G.I. issues and more.

The grid below highlights the comprehensive potential health benefits and outcomes that both humans and pets can, and ARE currently experiencing when adding a high grade, pure, FULL SPECTRUM LINE of CBD/CBG oils, tinctures and related produces to their daily wellness regimen.

Quitting Smoking & Drug Withdrawal Relief

• There is evidence that CBD use may help people quit smoking.

• A pilot study posted to Addictive Behaviors found that smokers who used an inhaler  containing CBD smoked fewer cigarettes and experienced no additional nicotine cravings.

• ∙A similar study found in Neurotherapeutics on CBD offers promising results for those suffering with opioid dependence.

• ∙Researchers also noted that CBD generally reduced substance use disorder symptoms, like anxiety, pain and insomnia.

• ∙These early findings suggest that CBD may be used to reduce or completely avoid withdrawal.

Preventing & Fighting Cancer

• CBD has been studied as an anti-cancer agent and it appears to block cancer cells from spreading and overrunning entire areas of the body. (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology)

• There are indications that CBD tends to suppress  the growth of cancer cells and promotes turnover of bad cells.

• CBD may improve cancer treatment due to its low toxicity. Researchers have called for studies coupling CBD and standard therapies to identify synergistic effects.

Type 1 Diabetes

• Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks cells in the pancreas, causing inflammation. (Mayo Clinic)

• CBD may ease pancreas inflammation for Type 1  diabetes sufferers. (Clinical Hemorheology  and Microcirculation)

• Clinical research is currently being conducted in finding CBD-based treatments for Type 1 diabetes.

Acne

• Acne is caused in part by inflammation and  overworked sebaceous  glands.

• A recent study in the Journal of Clinical  Investigation found that the anti-inflammatory properties in CBD may lower the production of sebum.

• In the future, CBD could realistically treat the most common form of acne, vulgaris. (Journal of Clinical Investigation)

Epilepsy & Psychiatric Conditions

• CBD is being studied for a possible role in treating epilepsy  and neuropsychiatric disorders.

• A journal entry in Epilepsy noted CBD has anti-seizure properties and a low risk of side effects.

• Studies into CBD's effects on  neurological disorders suggest it may help treat disorders that are linked to epilepsy, such as neuro-degeneration, neuronal injury, and psychiatric diseases.

• Another study posted to  Current Pharmaceutical  Design found CBD has similar effects to those of certain antipsychotic drugs, and  may be safe for treating patients with schizophrenia.

Anxiety Disorders

• Patients with chronic anxiety are  often advised to avoid cannabis, as THC may trigger symptoms and increase paranoia.

• However, a review from  Neurotherapeutics suggests that  CBD may reduce anxiety disorder symptoms.

• Studies suggest CBD may reduce anxiety behaviors in the following conditions:

  • Post-traumatic stress

  • General anxiety

  • Panic disorder

  • Social anxiety

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder

• Conventional medications for the disorders listed above may cause additional symptoms and negative side effects. As a result, many patients discontinue use of prescribed medications against medical advice.

Alzheimer's Disease

• Journal of Alzheimer's Disease published research showing CBD prevented development of social recognition deficit in subjects.

• This means that CBD can potentially prevent those in the early stages of Alzheimer's from losing the ability to recognize faces of loved ones.

• This is the first evidence that CBD has potential to prevent Alzheimer's disease symptoms.

About Us

Simply CBD is located in Springfield, IL and was founded by a group of people that truly believe in CBD products. We have used them ourselves and have seen them help our family and friends. When starting the business though, it was quickly discovered that there was a major flaw in the CBD product industry... many of the companies producing the products were not focused on the quality and pureness to ensure a consistent and safe product. We immediately set out with the goals of:

• Providing the industry’s highest-quality phytocannabinoid rich (PCR) products using sustainably grown industrial hemp.

• Reducing reliance on toxic medications, often containing harsh chemicals that cause unwanted side effects.

• Helping people live a life free of pain, anxiety and stress.
