It is popular for its high content of active compounds, led by THC, which is the best known of them. These substances are generally called <strong>cannabinoids,<\/strong> and CBD is the second most abundant cannabinoid in cannabis. However, unlike THC, it does <strong>not have psychoactive effects<\/strong> and, according to current knowledge, is not addictive. Its properties are more likely to be associated with therapeutic purposes, in particular to help with <strong>pain, symptoms of depression or anxiety and sleep disorders. <\/strong><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of CBD is regulated by national medical authorities. Each country may have a slightly different way of allowing its use. However, the standard is to use an extract of industrial hemp, which has a <strong>minimum THC content of 0.2-0.3%,<\/strong> in commercially available products. This is perfectly fine within local laws, and there is no need to worry about the effects of THC. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1219918062-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"What is CBD, and how is it obtained?\" class=\"wp-image-314918\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"What is CBD, and how is it obtained?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1219918062-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1219918062-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1219918062-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iStock-1219918062-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_effects_of_CBD_on_the_human_body\"><\/span>What are the effects of CBD on the human body?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The huge interest in <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/cbd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">CBD<\/a> took off at a time when people started talking about its positive effects in the treatment of childhood epilepsy. This triggered a wave of studies, testing and a search for more uses for the substance over the next few years. Thus, among the areas explored, CBD<strong> relieves pain, inflammation, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy.<\/strong> While the results from these studies look promising, they are not yet enough to confirm 100% of CBD&#8217;s effectiveness.

Improves sleep <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleep problems can significantly reduce quality of life. People who suffer from such problems can tell about it. They often look for ways to prevent them and get a better quality sleep. CBD can be a helping hand. In fact, current knowledge shows that it <strong>has an effect on the regulation of the wake-sleep cycle<\/strong> via the endocannabinoid system. The effect itself is frequently determined by the dose administered. Smaller amounts of CBD are more likely to have a stimulating effect, while <strong>higher doses are more likely to calm and help people fall asleep.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[8]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>According to studies conducted on the subject, CBD can help with insomnia or excessive daytime sleepiness. In one study, patients suffering from insomnia took 160 mg of CBD per day. This resulted in them <strong>getting a longer, more restful and overall better quality sleep.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[8-10]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting results also came from a study that examined the effect of CBD in patients with anxiety and trouble sleeping. A daily dose of 25 mg of CBD in capsules for one month resulted in 79% of subjects experiencing an improvement in anxiety symptoms, and <strong>66% of subjects confirmed an improved<\/strong> <strong>sleep quality.<\/strong> In the long term, however, CBD had more sustained and stable results in addressing anxiety symptoms. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[11]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more tips for a better sleep, read our article&nbsp; <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-fall-asleep-quickly-try-these-simple-tips-for-a-better-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>How to Fall Asleep Quickly?

Psychological health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Impaired mental health has an adverse effect on a person&#8217;s daily life and functioning in society. According to available studies, CBD could help in this respect as well. In animals, it has been<strong> shown to reduce symptoms of&nbsp;<\/strong><a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/why-is-stress-dangerous-and-how-to-reduce-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>stress and anxiety.<\/strong><\/a> In human studies, CBD has <strong>produced interesting results in patients with social phobia or post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/strong> <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[12]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of scientific work known to date suggest that CBD could have a positive effect with long-term use (see anxiety and sleep studies above), but also after one single administration. This was confirmed, for example, in a study with patients who suffered from social phobia. They were given a dose of 600 mg of CBD an hour and a half before a public appearance. Compared to the placebo, they <strong>showed weaker symptoms of anxiety and less psychological discomfort overall.<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[13] <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanism of action behind CBD&#8217;s effect on the psyche is not yet fully understood. However, the ability of the substance to <strong>affect the activity of the hormone serotonin<\/strong> is probably behind it. This helps to regulate mood, and its deficiency is associated with depression and anxiety. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[12]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Adaptogens can also help with stress and maintaining psychological well-being.

There are now even a number of approved CBD-containing medicines that are prescribed to pain sufferers in some countries.

But it appears that its ability to bind to the endocannabinoid system probably plays a role. The latter can <strong>trigger an anti-inflammatory response<\/strong> and fight pain. One study found that CBD can increase the activity of a particular endocannabinoid, anandamide. This has been associated with a reduction in pain, improved mood and a sense of well-being.

They are often looking for ways to maximize their body&#8217;s regeneration and sports performance. This is where CBD can help. It is probably thanks to its positive effect on the quality of sleep, which is essential for recovery. Another piece to the overall mosaic is its <strong>anti-inflammatory properties. The studies have shown that it can reduce the pain of strained muscles after exercise.<\/strong> <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[19\u201320]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In one of those studies, researchers compared the effect of MCT oil alone and MCT oil enriched with 16 mg of CBD on muscle pain after exercise (<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/8-ways-to-recover-quickly-after-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">DOMS<\/a> &#8211; Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). <strong>Athletes who received oil with CBD after exercise observed lower pain scores in 24, 48 and 72 hours than the group that received pure MCT oil.<\/strong> In practice, this could speed up the timing of the next training without the unpleasant pain or muscle stiffness including DOMS.
