why CBD?

WHAT IS CBD?

intro to CBD:

CBD is simply short for “cannabidiol”, the second-most abundant cannabinoid molecule produced by the cannabis or hemp plant. For our products, we use CBD oil that is extracted from industrial hemp, a legal plant with no THC. CBD is non-psychoactive so it does not get you “high”. The human body already has an endocannabinoid system, an extremely important molecular system that your body uses to regulate and perform various critical functions. CBD binds to receptors in this system; our bodies were designed to interface with cannabinoids from the very beginning -- we even naturally produce them.

Evidence suggests that CBD is safe even at high doses.

Uses and treatments:

Hailed as a miracle product, it has been used to help pain, anxiety and nausea. In addition to these known benefits, studies done by the United States Government have shown that the naturally occurring CBD from the hemp plant supports the human body as it ages. Cannabidiol has also been found to have benefits as a neuroprotectant, meaning, it limits the neurological damage that can occur after a stroke or major trauma.These studies also underscore CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, alcoholism, chronic pain, antibiotic-resistant infections, and other neurological disorders.

What should one look for when choosing CBD-rich products?

Look for products with clear labels showing the quantity and ratio of CBD per dose, a manufacturing date, and a batch number (for quality control). Select products with quality ingredients: No corn syrup, transfats, GMOs, artificial additives, thinning agents or preservatives. CBD-rich products should be lab tested for consistency and verified as being free of mold, bacteria, pesticides, solvent residues, and other contaminants. Best to avoid products extracted with toxic solvents like BHO, propane, hexane or other hydrocarbons. Opt for products that utilize safer extraction methods such as supercritical CO2 or food-grade ethanol.

 

about

VESIsorb® is a naturally self-assembling colloidal droplet delivery system that allows for enhanced bioavailability of unique science-based formulas, taking their absorption, efficacy and onset to the next level. VESIsorb® is the leading delivery system innovation for dramatically improving the bioavailability of poorly absorbed ingredients. Since 2007, close to 200 million consumers in all six major continents have safely and effectively used a VESIsorb® formula.

how VESIsorb® works with your body

70% of the human body is made up of water. It is essential that the nutrients we consume are “water soluble” and available for the body to use. VESIsorb® allows the full-spectrum CBD oil to mix with water, drastically increasing bioavailability, making our gel caps and fruit chews totally body ready. The increased bioavailability of Upside CBD with VESIsorb® means that these products are 5X more effective than ones with conventional CBD.

Due to high absorption rates, the daily dosage is much less than competing hemp ingredients, leading to an easier and more effective health regime for the consumer. Here are just a few of the benefits received by delivering higher cannabinoid blood plasma levels with a much lower dose.

  • Consistent and safer onset, independent of food/fat status.

  • Fewer servings required to achieve therapeutic and psychoactive benefits.

  • Improved economics for consumers, lifestyle brands and manufacturers.

  • Smaller capsules and easier to consume applications (edibles, tinctures, etc).

  • Eco-friendly as waste is reduced of raw material, packaging, and transport.

  • Addresses issues that counteract poor absorption like age, diet, and stress.
