In recent years, CBD has gained a large group of supporters who have learned about the beneficial effects of this substance. Cannabidiol has become an ingredient in many products - from oils, through food products, to cosmetics. No wonder, because its effectiveness is noticeable in many areas. Let's see what CBD is, as well as how it works and what properties it has.

What is CBD?

Cannabis is home to many cannabinoids, or chemical organic compounds with a broad ¹ effect. At the moment, about 100 are known, and the two most popular are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). CBD is obtained from the inflorescences of the hemp plant and THC from the cannabis plant. Cannabidiol has - unlike THC - an antipsychotic effect, and its positive effect on the human body is very extensive.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) ² . It is a system of regulation of physiological functions, the action of which is located in various parts of the body. By producing endocannabinoids, the body can maintain homeostasis or balance. According to research, the ECS is responsible for the sensation of pain and hunger, the ability to absorb knowledge, coping with stress, maintaining adequate blood pressure and temperature, and the body's immune responses. This system has not been thoroughly investigated yet, but many researchers claim that the appropriate supplementation of CBD can support its operation, and thus strengthen the processes taking place in the human body, which are necessary for its good condition. ³ </ span>

How is CBD obtained?

Hemp seeds are carefully selected to choose only those high in CBD and low in THC. They are then grown in fields whose soil is devoid of contamination. The next stage is the time of plant growth and harvesting. Only after that can you start extracting CBD. The first way is oil extraction. It is a very simple process and can be used at home. Initially, the plant material is decarboxylated, i.e. exposed to high temperatures, thanks to which the acidic forms of cannabinoids take the non-acid form ⁴ . Then vegetable oil, e.g. olive oil, is added to the raw material. The mixture prepared in this way is heated to 100 ° C for about 2 hours. As a result, the oil evaporates and the resulting product becomes a highly concentrated CBD oil rich in terpenes, flavonoids and cannabinoids.

Another method is extraction with a liquid solvent in the form of ethanol or hexane. In this case, the plants are heated with the selected substance, and then the resulting solution is filtered. Filtration is necessary because, in addition to the ingredients beneficial to the body, harmful chlorophyll ⁵ is produced. The most modern method of oil extraction, however, is the extraction of supercritical CO2. In this method, carbon dioxide takes a form that can be classified between a gas and a liquid. This is possible thanks to the right temperature and pressure. The plant material is placed in the extraction vessel, then the accumulator introduces CO2 inside. In the next step, the separator eliminates the carbon dioxide and leaves the CBD extract ⁶ . Although it is an expensive method, as it requires the right equipment, it produces high-quality oil. It is also ecological and safe. Let's move on to the next point and see if CBD works?
