Key Ingredients – Terpenes and Extracts

Terpenes

The minuscule glands of the hemp plant that excrete cannabinoids also produce terpenes, which are what gives both hemp and marijuana their distinct aromas. Terpenes are not exclusive to the cannabis sativa plant, and can be found throughout nature. For example, the terpenes, alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, both smell of pine, and can be found in pine needles, rosemary, and basil. The terpene limonene offers a citrus scent, and can be found in lemon rinds, juniper, and peppermint.

We add specific terpenes and plant extracts to our various product lines because CBD and terpenes work synergistically together, creating an “entourage effect”. Independently, both terpenes and CBD work well, but together, they are far more potent and effective. Listed below are a few of plant extracts, and terpenes included in our proprietary blends, as well as their associated therapeutic benefits.

All ingredients are added with precision and intention.

Beta Caryophyllene (BCP)

BCP is a dietary cannabinoid that binds with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), yet it presents itself as a terpene. We use BCP in all of our products, as it works synergistically with CBD to enhance its effects within the human body. CBD barely binds with the CB2 receptors, and not at all with CB1, however it does facilitate the binding of other molecules, such as THC (CB1) or Beta Caryophyllene (CB2).

alpha-Pinene

One of the two isomers of pinene, alpha-pinene can be found in a myriad of plants, such as rosemary, basil, but most notably pine trees. This highly beneficial, and pivotal terpene is included in nearly all of our proprietary terpene blends.

d-Limonene

This citrus-smelling terpene is relatively stable, and the most common of the limonene isomers. Limonene also assists in the absorption of other terpenes, which is why it is included in all of our topical terpene blends, as well as many of our other products.

beta-Myrcene

This monoterpene is commonly found in mangos and hops, and is an analgesic with sedative properties.

beta-Myrcene

This monoterpene is commonly found in mangos and hops, and is an analgesic with sedative properties. A powerful anti-inflammatory, and highly effective in decreasing the sensation of pain, yet myrcene has no known neurobehavioral effects.

beta-Linalool

This optical isomer is most commonly found in lavender and jasmine, and offers a mild, unoffensive floral scent. Linalool has been used as a calmative for thousands of years, due to its anxiolytic and sedative properties, but it is also imperative to the production of vitamin-E within the body.

MCT Oil

MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil is a form of saturated fatty acid that has been associated with various health benefits. It is used in several of our products to include our addCBD, rolCBD, and petCBD.

Valerian Root

Valerian root is a perennial flowering plant, and has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient Greece and Rome. Studies have shown it increases he amount of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps regulate nerve cells, resulting in a calming effect. Valerian root is used in our pufCBD – CALM, our capCBD – Calm, and our petCBD – Calm and Composed to help reduce stress levels and anxiety, and assist with insomnia.
