Ever since Canada legalised all forms of cannabis and the US legalised all CBD products with the Farm Bill 2018, the entire cannabis industry has been growing like crazy across North America. If you want to get into the nutrition business with CBD supplements, or expand your current business to include cannabidiol products, now would be the best time to do so.
That being said, before you dive head first into the industry, it is advised that you get to understand the core nutritional benefits of CBD first, as this guest post explains.
Pain Relief
Anyone who has suffered from chronic pain wishes that there was a better way to control it, other than resorting to painkillers on a regular basis. All painkillers have a range of side effects that can include anything from esophageal ulcers and thinning of the blood, to severe addiction.
CBD oil can alleviate pain, without any of the side effects that are expected from long term traditional painkiller usage. The cannabidiol in CBD supplements interacts with our internal endocannabinoid system to relieve pain, which includes but isn’t limited to, sciatica, arthritic pain, back pain and pain from multiple sclerosis.
Mental Wellbeing
The body and the mind are interconnected and interdependent, which means that depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. can bring about physical discomfort and illnesses as well. On the other side of things, chronic back pain, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc. can also make us very depressed and keep us anxious all the time.
CBD oil may help to stave off depression and anxiety because of cannabidiol’s innate antidepressant-like, relaxing effects. Alongside that, since CBD supplements and topical ointments/sprays also bring chronic pain relief, mood is improved naturally as a result of that.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties of CBD
Part of the reason why CBD works so well to relieve pain is because of the fact that it is considered a natural anti-inflammatory agent. However, there are more benefits to that property of CBD supplements which affect the human body from the inside.
The chances of an individual experiencing acne and pimples while taking CBD supplements are significantly reduced. The risks of developing any kind of growth or tumour might also be reduced as well, but more research on CBD supplementation is required to know if it really can decrease one’s risks of getting cancer at some point in their lives. Even then, the anti-inflammatory property of CBD oil can only help in this regard, especially in the long run.
Where Can You Get Your Raw Materials From?
You can buy your CBD seeds in bulk and start producing high-quality health supplements of your own. Wholesalers like Cope also sell cannabidiol distillate, isolate and crude oil in bulk. Therefore, you can skip the oil extraction expenses from your bulk CBD seeds, and concentrate more on refining the product in the lab, if that suits your business idea more.
Unlike some of the other useless products in the health and nutrition industry, most of the useful effects of CBD are proven and quite prominent. This makes CBD supplements and topical products not just great for business, but actually a boon for the consumers as well.
Over time, as research into hemp reveals more to us, the scientific community expects the herb to have more health applications, especially in the field of medical science.
