CBD Products 101: FreshBros’ Ultimate Guide to CBD Products in 2022

It’s no secret that the CBD industry is a huge business. In fact in 2020 alone, CBD sales in the United States h
it $4.6 billion. This is just two years after hemp-derived cannabinoids were federally legalized, all thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. According to a study by New York-based investment bank Cowen & Co, this trend is likely to increase, forecasting a $15 billion to more than $20 billion market in the United States by 2025 and 2024, respectively.

With this increasing forecast, the competition in the hemp industry has become stiffer with companies producing more and more products for consumers to enjoy. However, with all those CBD products available in the market nowadays, it can be hard to choose. Fear not, we are about to give you the ultimate guide in choosing the best CBD products based on your needs.

What you need to know about CBD

CBD (short for cannabidiol), is the second most prevalent active compound out of the hundreds found in the cannabis plant. It is mostly associated with its medical use, and does not cause psychoactive effects when taken by itself.

Per World Health Organization’s
report, “CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential in humans. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

Where does CBD come from?

While CBD is an important component of medical marijuana, it is either extracted directly from the hemp plant, which is a relative of marijuana, or synthesized in a lab.

Does CBD get you high?

Unlike THC, CBD does not have psychoactive effects or the euphoric “high” feeling when consumed alone. However, when CBD is mixed with THC and other cannabinoids, that’s where it changes and might get a person high.

What do we know about the health benefits of CBD?

As mentioned, CBD plays an important role in the medical marijuana world. CBD is gaining popularity as a treatment for anxiety, pain, stress, and even insomnia. In this section, we’ll cover the current scientific claims surrounding CBD with product recommendations from FreshBros.

CBD for Pain: What the Science Says

Perhaps the most hyped use of CBD is its ability to treat pain, but what does science say about this? According to a
2015 study, CBD, in conjunction with other cannabinoids, can influence the receptor systems in our bodies and the Endocannabinoid System. CBD has been shown to increase anandamide levels in our bodies. This compound has been linked to decreased pain perception and improved mood in individuals.

However, a recent
2021 research suggests that CBD does not completely alleviate pain, but rather makes it less unpleasant. Using pure CBD isolate oil, researchers discovered that while CBD did not reduce the intensity of the pain, it did make it less bothersome.

CBD for Sleep: Does It Work?

Insomnia is no joke, nearly
70 million Americans have a sleep disorder. Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, with 30% of adults experiencing short-term insomnia. Due to this, some people turn to CBD to aid sleeplessness, but what does current research say?

In a
2017 study published in the National Library of Medicine, cannabidiol (CBD) may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of insomnia. CBD may also hold promise for REM sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness, while nabilone (a man-made form of cannabis) may reduce nightmares associated with PTSD and may improve sleep among patients with chronic pain.

However, while these studies are promising, cannabis and sleep research is in its early stages and has yielded conflicting results. More controlled and longitudinal research is needed to advance our understanding of the research and clinical implications.

CBD for Anxiety: How Effective Is It?

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults or 18.1% of the population every year. Because of this, some people turn to CBD to alleviate anxiety. Here’s what current research has to say for its effectiveness:

A
2015 study found that existing preclinical evidence strongly supports CBD as a treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder when administered acutely; however, few studies have investigated chronic CBD dosing.

CBD for Skincare: Does It Really Make Your Skin Glow?

Taking good care of your skin is the best makeup anyone can have and it holds true all the time. Why not cover your imperfections when you can make it glow from within? Skincare products are everywhere and even CBD is getting into the picture. Does it really help or is it just a skincare fad?

A 2014 study published in the
Journal of Drug in Dermatology found that CBD has the potential in aiding the suppression of acne breakouts by regulating oil production within the sebaceous glands.

Another more recent study in
2019 concluded that there was a therapeutic effect of CBD-enriched ointment in inflammatory skin diseases and cutaneous scars. The researchers administered topical CBD-enriched ointment to lesioned skin twice daily for three months on 20 patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and resulting outcome scars. The same study goes on to report that following three months, researchers saw improvement in inflammatory and skin symptoms.

CBD for Pets: Is it Safe?

You read it right, CBD can be used for pets! However, there is limited research about using CBD for cats and dogs. Though clinical research is just getting started, anecdotal evidence of CBD’s therapeutic use for pets thrives.
