Research & Development

Hemp extract (CBD) is at a pivotal moment in its research.

• A study published in Arthritis Research and Therapy confirmed the presence of cannabinoid receptor system in synovial tissue and fluid in patients with joint discomfort. [1]  A placebo-controlled study published in Rheumatology (Oxford) has shown that administration of cannabis-based medicine for five weeks resulted in significant relief from pain and inflammation. [2] Even more impressive, a subsequent study led by a team of British and Israeli scientists discovered that Legal Hemp Extract protected arthritic joints from further damage. [3]

• A new study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research found that broken bones healed faster and stronger when experimental animals received specific cannabinoids. [4]
• In a study published in the highly respected Journal of Psychopharmacology, researchers conducted a small double-blind study of patients afflicted with generalized social anxiety. After consuming hemp extract, participants reported a significant decrease in anxiousness. [5]
• One of the most amazing properties of hemp extract is its ability to clear away free radicals from your mitochondria, the energy center of your cells. By regulating the mitochondrial bioenergetics and shielding mitochondria from the attacks by free radicals, Hemp extract may support healthy aging. [6]
