Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cannabinoid?

There are over 480 natural components found within the cannabis sativa plant, 66 of which have been classified as “cannabinoids”, chemicals unique to the plant. The most researched is THC, the substance primarily responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis. The cannabinoids are separated into subclasses like Cannabigerols (CBG), Cannabichromenes (CBC), Cannabiodiols (CBD), Cannabiniol (CBN), tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) and other various types.

What do cannabinoids do?

In order to understand cannabinoids, you have to know a bit about the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is a system in the human body consisting of cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors. These receptors and cannabinoids can be thought of as a lock-and-key system. Cannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors like a key fits into a lock. Unlocking the receptor causes changes in how cells function, leading to different effects in the body. When ELYX CBD enters your body, CBD activates the endocannabinoid system by attaching to cannabinoid receptors.

The cannabinoid receptors are further divided into 2 main subtypes, known as CB1 and CB2. CB1 is the most widespread receptor mostly found in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, organs and to a lesser extent in other tissue. CB2 receptors are mostly found within the immune system and are responsible for a wide range of biological functions. Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.

What is the difference between cannabinoids?

The major differences between cannabinoids are determined by the extent to which they are psychologically active. Three Classes of cannabinoids, the CBG, CBC and CBD are not known to have such an effect. THC, CBN and some other cannabinoids are known to be psychologically active to varying degrees. CBD is the abbreviation of Cannabidiol and, like THC is an active ingredient in cannabis. Scientific studies into the medical effects of cannabis show that CBD has the same value as THC, but without its negative effects.

What is the endocannabinoid system?

The endocannabinoid system is a system in the human body consisting of cannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors. These receptors and cannabinoids can be thought of as a lock-and-key system. Cannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors like a key fits into a lock. Unlocking the receptor causes changes in how cells function, leading to different effects in the body. CBD, CBN and THC fit like a lock and key into human receptors. These receptors are part of the endocannabinoid system which impact physiological processes, affecting pain modulation, memory and appetite plus anti-inflammatory effect consisting of two types of receptors CB1 and CB2 that serve different functions in human health and well-being.

What is CBD?

CBD is the acronym for Cannabidiol, a substance that occurs naturally in the hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa). CBD has a beneficial effect on body and mind. ELYX is a THC free product, not psychoactive and does not indicate habituation. It is therefore safe to use.

What is the difference between full spectrum hemp CBD and purified CBD?

Full spectrum hemp oil is a whole plant extract that leaves the natural cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids and non-traceable residues behind. Full spectrum products may also contain small amounts of THC. This is because all the existing ingredients are not removed from the cannabis plant. Still, when it comes from a plant that is very low in THC, that means the full spectrum hemp CBD will always contain a small minimal amount of THC. Another important detail is that the substances present in full spectrum hemp CBD are never equal in concentration levels. In case of new batches of raw material, there is always a difference in product quality which can influence the effect on human body and brain.

Purified CBD, separated from all other cannabis compounds and indefinable substances that are isolated by cooling extracted oil until it forms into crystals. These crystals are processed into a pure powder which is pure CBD as a molecular compound. Isolate CBD offers the benefits of only the active substance CBD. There will be no side effects of any other rest materials and chemicals that are present alongside CBD in the cannabis plant. Isolating the perceived valuable aspects of any substance is a common approach in the pharmaceutical industry to maximize an ‘active ingredient’ to its utmost efficacy and safety.
