Cannabidiol is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant and it is being used by ever-increasing amounts of people to aid their everyday functioning. Every person in the world has a system in their bodies called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) which moderates different bodily functions. When you take CBD, different receptors involved in this system absorb it and distribute the compound to the areas that need it making the lives of those who take it that much easier.

The ECS is an integral part of the body, present in all mammals. The processes it is responsible for include regulation of the body, efficiency, equilibrium, stability and overall wellness. So what does that mean for you? It means that you can experience the therapeutic and life-changing benefits of CBD without having to ingest any THC or pharmaceutical products that may have severe side effects. One of the main benefits of CBD is that there are little to no known side effects; specifically, it does not give you the “high” that is often associated with marijuana, which has the mind-altering compound, THC, present and it does not block the enzymes that make you feel pain; it just naturally treats the affected areas, according to a recent study.

To be frank, the UK market for CBD is slightly ambiguous; there are people selling bogus product and product which isn’t manufactured to the highest standards which is ultimately affecting the reputation of the industry. Fortunately, the UK governing body for edible CBD products has cracked down on this, and as a result, the market is being held to higher standard. They have done this through their requirement of CBD manufacturers to have a validated novel food application, which Ciento has through our joint venture with our US-based manufacturing partner.

We all know that there are certain non-mainstream products that can help improve our health and wellbeing. We are firm believers that CBD is one of these products. We base our findings on peer-reviewed studies conducted by independent researchers that are renowned for their work in the cannabinoid industry. The CBD industry is just getting started in the UK and people are already coming out with various innovative products. From oils to gummies to topicals and more, there really is a CBD product out there for everyone. We have introduced new products that are a mix of CBD and other health extracts like Curcumin and Ashwagandha so if you are looking to take your body for a step in the right direction, here’s what you need to know.
