Many folks are turning to CBD products to help them begin a healthier lifestyle.** CBDfx offers a wide variety of best-selling CBD products, made with high-quality CBD and other natural ingredients. In this article, we’ll take a look at some popular CBD products and take a quick refresher course on the cannabinoid known as CBD.
Cannabidiol and the Endocannabinoid System
Cannabidiol is one of over a hundred cannabis compounds, called cannabinoids. Your body produces its own cannabinoids, which are called endocannabinoids. These endocannabinoids are part of a cell-signaling system called (you guessed it) the endocannabinoid system, or ECS. This system signals to receptors in other systems and organs throughout the body, helping them to maintain homeostasis, or balance. This interaction between the ECS and these various receptors helps the body to regulate some of its most crucial functions, including sleep, mood, and many more.
When you consume CBD, it interacts with the ECS in much the same way as the body’s own endocannabinoids. It signals to receptors throughout the body and helps the various organs and systems to maintain homeostasis.** This produces many beneficial wellness effects, and is the main reason CBD has become such a popular health product.**
CBD Products: An Overview
There are many different types of CBD products to choose from. These cover a variety of tastes, lifestyles, and needs.
CBD vape products allow you to inhale the CBD directly into your lungs, where it is quickly absorbed into your bloodstream (faster than any method of CBD consumption). In fact, CBD can be absorbed in just a few minutes or even seconds, depending on personal bioavailability factors, such as height, weight, and metabolism.
CBD edibles take the longest period of time for you to feel the effects of any CBD products. This is because, when you take CBD gummies or CBD pills, the CBD must first pass through the digestive system before being absorbed into the bloodstream. On the other hand, CBD edibles have the longest-lasting effects of any such products.** The effects of CBD edibles can last six to eight hours, again depending on bioavailability.
Many people prefer CBD oil tinctures, because they produce longer-lasting effects than vapes (usually four to six hours) and quicker-hitting effects than edibles (usually 15–30 minutes). This allows you to enjoy long-lasting effects without waiting too long for them to kick in.
CBD topicals are creams and similar products, in which the CBD is absorbed through the skin. With CBD cream, CBD balms, or CBD face masks, the cannabidiol proceeds directly to the affected area of the body, soothing minor muscle aches, dry skin, and similar issues.**
