8 Nutrients Essential for a Healthy Heart

Nutrients Essential for a Healthy Heart

Your heart works around the clock, pumping nutrients and precious oxygen to your body’s tissues. It never takes a break. For the average adult, it beats a whopping 115,000 times and pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day (1).

Which is why it’s important that you do anything in your power to ensure it stays healthy. Especially considering the fact that heart disease is the single most common cause of death worldwide (2).

Living a heart-friendly lifestyle involves regular exercise, not smoking, and controlling your stress levels. Just as important as what you do, is what you eat.

Scientists have discovered that your heart needs specific nutrients to stay healthy…

1. Plant-Based Antioxidants

Antioxidants play a critical role in keeping your heart healthy because they protect your body from one of the most common causes of heart disease: the oxidation of cholesterol (3).

When cholesterol oxidizes, it causes fatty plaque to build up on the walls of your arteries, which can result in increased blood pressure and an increased risk of a heart attack.

The key is to consume plant-based antioxidants. Studies using synthetic vitamins—what you’ll find in most multivitamins—show no benefit, while antioxidants from fruits, veggies and herbs are shown to be protective (4).

One of the best ways to get more antioxidants in your diet is to add an organic green juice to your daily routine. Sprinkle some antioxidant-rich berries in for an added heart-healthy boost.

2. Essential Fatty Acids

Researchers have found your body needs a balance of both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. The problem is, most people get far too many omega-6s from processed foods.

This results in increased inflammation, a higher risk of obesity, and an increased risk of heart disease (56). To remedy this issue, it’s important to get plenty of omega-3s from wild fish, flax seeds or chia seeds (7).

Perhaps surprisingly, you’ll want to avoid fish oil. While eating fish is good for you, most fish oils are highly refined and can easily turn rancid, which makes them pro-inflammatory in the body.

In fact, a complete review of 20 fish oil studies by the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that taking fish oil had no heart-health benefits (8). Stick to wild fish or plant omegas for a healthy heart.

3. Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

CoQ10 is an enzyme found in almost every cell in the body.  It’s an antioxidant, it helps cells generate energy, and delivers a wide range of heart benefits.

According to a study published by the College of Pharmacy and the Department of Medicine in Canada, “CoQ10 has significant potential for cardiovascular [disease] prevention as a standalone nutritional supplement.” (9)

CoQ10 is especially important for anyone taking cholesterol lowering medication. That’s because the class of drugs known as statins block your body’s production of the essential enzyme.

Plant sources of CoQ10 include spinach, broccoli, cauliflower and legumes. Leafy greens also have the added benefit of reactivating CoQ10 in the body.

4. Nitric Oxide

Nitric oxide (N.O.) is a signaling molecule that helps your cells communicate and blood vessels expand. As you grow older, your body gets less efficient at making it and relies more on external sources.

Nitric oxide plays an important role in healthy blood pressure, improved blood flow, energy levels and better athletic performance (10).

Consequently, it’s a good idea to help replenish your body’s nitric oxide levels if you are over 40. You can increase your N.O. levels through nitrate-rich plants including leafy greens, beets and even (dark) chocolate.

5. Magnesium

When it comes to heart-healthy nutrients, magnesium is the most overlooked. But that doesn’t mean it’s less important.

Evidence suggests that magnesium has a direct effect on the ability of your blood vessels to relax (11). So, when you’re deficient in magnesium, it can result in higher blood pressure.

This, in turn, can significantly increase your risk of a heart attack. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 7 of every 10 people having their first heart attack have high blood pressure (12).

Since magnesium deficiencies are exceptionally common, this is a nutrient you don’t want to brush off. Boost your magnesium intake with almonds, dark chocolate, pumpkin seeds and spinach.

6.  Curcumin (Turmeric Root)

Curcumin, the primary active compound in turmeric, has a number of benefits that make it incredibly healthy for your heart (13).

Numerous studies have found that curcumin is a powerful antioxidant, it fights inflammation, and it also supports the function of the endothelium, the lining of blood vessels, thereby supporting healthy blood pressure (14).

Collectively, these properties make curcumin an essential part of any heart-healthy diet. Just be aware that curcumin has low bioavailability.

Combine turmeric with black pepper when adding it to recipes to boost absorption or take a supplement with turmeric with essential fatty acids to increase absorption.

7. Sulforaphane

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli contain a compound called sulforaphane. These veggies can help the body detoxify toxins, and are strongly associated with a reduced risk of certain types of cancer (15). 

How does this keep your heart healthy? Well, when toxins from the environment get into your body, they cause oxidative damage which can compromise the cells in your arteries and heart.

But sulforaphane can rapidly remove toxins found in air pollution, such as benzene, thereby helping to protect the heart from its damaging effects (16).

In addition to broccoli, other foods that contain sulforaphane are cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and bok choy.

If you have a hard time stomaching these types of veggies, you can get a supplement that contains sulforaphane instead.

8. Folate

Folate is a mineral that’s often associated with maternal health. But healthy prenatal development is far from its only benefit.

Folate helps decrease the amount of homocysteine in your blood. Which is important because when homocysteine levels get too high, studies have found that it significantly increases the risk of heart disease (17).

Rather than the synthetic folic acid found in most multivitamins, aim to get the natural variety (folate) which is found in beans, asparagus, and leafy greens such as spinach, and kale.

One of the easiest and most economical ways to get many of these heart-healthy nutrients is to drink a green juice every day. Pick one with a variety of leafy greens, veggies and antioxidant-rich fruits and you’ll give your heart the natural vitamins, minerals and other nutrients it needs.

Your heart works tirelessly over the years. Keep it ticking in a healthy way by exercising regularly, managing stress, and making sure you get some of these essential nutrients every day. They might be just what you need to keep the beat going for a long and healthy life.

5 Surprising Health Benefits of Love

Benefits of Love

No matter if you’re in a relationship or are single, love is an essential part of a happy and healthy life. Whether it’s family, friends or other close relationships, strong connections can lead to some surprising health benefits.

And while new love may make your heart skip a beat, true health benefits come from love that is built on a feeling of being valued and respected. Those strong connections and sense of belonging can be found in relationships with a partner, parent or good friend.

See the five surprising ways that love can benefit your health, and take time to strengthen your relationships or even build new ones. In doing so, you’ll be nourishing a healthy, love-filled life.

1. Enjoy a Happier Life

It may seem obvious, but if your life is full of love, then it will likely be full of happiness. They go hand-in-hand. In fact, one study found that families who have a strong connection and social support system (love) are significantly happier. The study also noted that family income had no effect on happiness. So the old adage, “money can’t buy you love” could be changed to “you don’t need money to have love.”

2. Live a Longer Life

A growing body of research reveals that (happily) married people live longer. One study, for example, evaluated almost 6,000 people and found that people who have never been married have a significantly shorter lifespan. But this doesn’t mean you must be married to extend your life. The point is; love is about mutual support. Those with a strong social support system have protective health benefits that support a long life.

3. Fewer Colds & Flu

Because supportive relationships can reduce stress, your immune system may be better able to fight off invaders that can make you sick. A landmark paper conducted by Carnegie Mellon University researchers showed that those who had positive emotions were better able to fight off the cold and influenza viruses.

4. Better Blood Pressure

Surprisingly enough, love can also lower your blood pressure. One study, for example, compared the blood pressures of single, happily married, and unhappily married people. While those who were happily married had the best blood pressure averages, those who were unhappily married had the worst blood pressure of all the test subjects. Being single and having a healthy social network also led to good results.

5. Healthier Eating Habits

Another factor that can play into the connection between love and health is the “contagion” effect. Scientists have discovered we are strongly influenced by those we are closest to. This effect is so strong that we’ll adopt those behaviors, whether it’s going to the gym or walking around the block. And if someone close to you starts a good habit such as eating more fruits and veggies, you’re more likely to as well. Healthy is contagious.

As humans, we have an inherent need to feel connected, respected, and valued by other people. Love is essential to health and happiness.

Using CBD Oil for Anxiety: Does It Work?

Overview

Early research shows promising signs that a product made from cannabis known as cannabidiol (CBD) oil may help relieve anxiety. CBD is a type of cannabinoid, a chemical found naturally in marijuana and hemp plants. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another type of cannabinoid, CBD doesn’t cause any feelings of intoxication or the “high” you may associate with cannabis. Learn more about the potential benefits of CBD oil for anxiety, and whether it could be a treatment option for you.

How CBD oil can help anxiety

CBD oil is thought to work with a brain receptor called CB1. Receptors are tiny proteins attached to your cells that receive chemical signals from different stimuli and help your cells respond.

The exact way CBD affects CB1 is not fully understood. However, it’s thought that it alters serotonin signals. Serotonin is one of your body’s chemicals and plays a role in your mental health. Low serotonin levels are common in depression. Not having enough serotonin can also cause anxiety in some people.

The conventional treatment for low serotonin is prescription selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Zoloft and Prozac are both SSRIs. CBD, for some people, may be an alternative to SSRIs for anxiety management. However, you should talk to your doctor before making changes to your treatment plan.

Research and evidence

Several studies point to the potential benefits of CBD for anxiety. For generalized anxiety, the National Institute on Drug Abuse says that CBD has been shown to reduce stress in animal studies. Study subjects were observed as having lower behavioral signs of anxiety. Their physiological symptoms of anxiety, like increased heart rate, also improved.

Studies have also shown some benefits for other forms of anxiety, such as social anxiety disorder (SAD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CBD may also help treat anxiety-induced insomnia.

In 2011, a human study on CBD and its effects on SAD was published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology. Participants were given either an oral dose of 400 milligrams of CBD or a placebo. The results showed that those who took the CBD dose experienced overall reduced anxiety levels.

On the other hand, a 2017 comprehensive review of CBD studies in psychiatric disorders found inconclusive results. According to the authors, there isn’t enough evidence to claim CBD as a treatment for depression. However, the authors do note positive results for anxiety disorders. Based on their review, more human tests are needed to better understand how it works, what ideal dosages should be, and if there are potential side effects or hazards.

CBD has also been studied in other neurological disorders. A 2016 study found some antipsychotic benefits of CBD in schizophrenia. The authors indicated a preference for CBD over antipsychotic drugs, which are known to cause significant debilitating side effects.

Top Athletes Who Use CBD Oil And Why

by Stefan McKellar October 01, 2018

There might still be a stigma surrounding the use of cannabis for medicinal and health purposes – along with the products derived from it – but that stigma is slowly being unraveled thanks to some of the world’s tops athletes.

Studies have continually shown the myriad of benefits that CBD oil can provide to pain relief. People are using it to reduce their seizures, alleviate their anxiety, or even minimize chronic pain and inflammation. Others are using it to improve their sleep and mood, while others still are taking it to protect their heart health and also reduce the risk of diabetes.

But while there are plenty of demographics that make use of CBD hemp oil to alleviate whatever symptoms they may be suffering from, athletes are probably the best example of a group that’s bringing CBD oil to the mainstream.

An increasing number of athletes are going public with their use of CBD hemp oil and their support of its use among other athletes and the general public as a whole. It’s now becoming increasingly well-known that CBD can have a plethora of benefits on the mind and body, and every day more and more athletes are discovering these advantages for their bodies.

Considering the amount of stress the body of an athlete goes through, it’s no surprise that athletes tend to be more at risk of injury or chronic overuse issues than the average individual. But many of them are becoming privy to the way that CBD oil can help them protect their bodies, increase recovery time, and keep them performing at their best as the cannabinoid works perfectly with the natural endocannabinoid system of the body.

The following athletes have come out to tout the benefits of CBD oil, thereby bringing this cannabis compound to the forefront and breaking down barriers.

NFL LINEBACKER DERRICK MORGAN

If there’s one sport that puts its athletes through a great deal of physical stress and trauma, it’s football. Players who participate in this sport – whether on an amateur or professional level – are putting themselves at risk for serious injury, considering the substantial contact between players on the field. It’s not unusual for players to experience at least one major injury – or more – throughout their football careers.

And with such injuries typically comes some form of treatment, which typically includes pain relievers. Unfortunately, many of the anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers that athletes are prescribed are opioids, which have become the source of serious addictions and even overdose deaths.

Considering these serious side effects of painkillers, more and more athletes are turning to a safer, more natural pain-relieving substance that works just as well: CBD oil.

One top athlete in particular who claims to use CBD oil to effectively treat pain and inflammation that’s commonly linked to football training and injuries is Derrick Morgan, an NFL linebacker for the Tennessee Titans. In fact, he’s not the only football player in the NFL to support the use of CBD oil for athletes, and he likely won’t be the last.

Morgan made news headlines not long ago when he announced that he regularly uses CBD oil. He continues to speak out about how he believes that CBD is highly effective and has encouraged other fellow football players to consider using it over addictive opioids.

NFL OFFENSIVE TACKLE EUGENE MONROE

Eugene Monroe was the first active NFL football player to come out about his use of CBD oil and his advocacy for the cannabinoid regarding his health and wellness. He has been an active supporter of the “The Bright Lights Campaign,” which encourages continued studies on the effects of CBD and how it can potentially be a positive addition to a football player’s repertoire.

The goal of Monroe and the Bright Lights Campaign is to continue with studies so that broader clinical trials on CBD oils may be conducted, and those professional athletes won’t be penalized for using cannabis-related substances like CBD oil as part of their treatment protocols.

NFL DEFENSIVE END LEONARD MARSHALL

Another professional football player to tout the effects of CBD oil is former NFL player Leonard Marshall. Like many other professional football players in the NFL, Marshall started to show signs of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a traumatic brain injury that is the result of numerous concussions.

It’s tough to say how many NFL players suffer from CTE, but it’s estimated that the number can be as high as 40%. And Leonard Marshal was one of those statistics.

But rather than using traditional medications to help treat his CTE, Marshall decided to turn to CBD oil instead. His experience was incredible, as his symptoms were significantly lowered and or even disappeared completely.

MMA FIGHTER NATE DIAZ

Of course, injuries aren’t only reserved for NFL football players, nor is the use of CBD oil to treat their symptoms. In 2016, Nate Diaz came out in the open about his use of CBD oil after training and fighting by sparking up his CBD oil vape pen at a press conference following his fight against fellow fighter Conor Mcgregor.

When reporters asked what he was smoking, he was upfront about the fact that he was consuming CBD oil. He quickly explained that CBD oil helped him with the healing process and inflammation following intense bouts of training and fighting. Diaz claims to use CBD oil before and after his fights, as well as after his training.

MMA FIGHTER CHRIS CAMOZZI

Another mixed-martial artist using CBD oil to help him deal with pain and inflammation associated with his fighting is professional UFC fighter, Chris Camozzi. The fighter claims that CBD has been highly effective in helping him continue with his sport of choice.

Camozzi began taking hemp-derived CBD oil supplements following a severe knee injury, and since then, CBD has become a routine component of his training. The fighter claims that CBD oil has drastically improved his overall health and wellness.

FINAL THOUGHTS

While CBD and other derivatives of the cannabis plant continue to be met with speculation, athletes like the ones mentioned above are helping to pave the way to a more open-minded platform whereby fellow athletes and others can be free to use CBD oil without being met with hurdles that might make access to such products more difficult.

Natural CBD oil formulas are undoubtedly beneficial for athletes, as well as anyone who’s looking for a safer, more natural way to alleviate their symptoms without the potential hazards that may come with traditional pharmaceuticals. Getting started with CBD supplements is easy once you find a reputable CBD oil manufacturer to supply your CBD oil.

CBD Oil For Treating PTSD: Dosage, Scientific Studies, And Success Stories

Various scientists have been seeking to determine the incredible benefits of an element from a plant named Cannabinoids. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common anxiety conditions that can happen to anyone at any time.

During a year, around 3.6% of the US adults between the age of 18 to 54 (5.2 million people) have PTSD. The most common events related to PTSD include childhood physical abuse, rape, combat exposure, childhood neglect, sexual molestation, weapon threatening, and physical attacks.

Also, for men and women, spending time in war zones resulted in experiencing PTSD. Furthermore, a study portrayed a high number of suicide rate of veterans suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder.

Most of the patients who have PTSD usually get prescribed with several antipsychotics and antidepressants that may have a minute positive effect on them but do render many side-effects including an increase in the occurrence of suicidal thoughts.

Therefore, many doctors are now increasingly suggesting pure CBD oil for the relief of symptoms and treatment of PTSD.

What Is PTSD – Symptoms And Other Conditions Related To It?

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder usually occurs by experiencing a dangerous or life-threatening incident such as sexual or physical assault, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, serious accidents, military combat, and much more.

PTSD is related to chronic stress reactions through flashbacks. People who have PTSD may face trouble in sleeping or feel estranged and may avoid places or people which remind them of their trauma and prefer isolating themselves.

Diagnosing PTSD requires the symptoms to last for more than a month and causing interference with home or work life and distress.

The symptoms associated with the posttraumatic stress disorder include avoidance symptoms, re-experiencing symptoms, and arousal symptoms.

  • Re-experiencing symptoms cause a person to have upsetting memories of the trauma. A traumatic reminder usually triggers these memories and produce both physical and emotional responses. Also, these memories generate intense feelings like horror, fear, and helplessness when they get flashbacks.
  • Avoidance symptoms include the attempts that people make to avoid the traumatic incident. They usually ignore going to such places that remind them of their trauma or the people that make them relive that memory.
  • Arousal symptoms cause a PTSD patient to remind of the event and increase the emotional arousal. The person may feel difficulty in concentrating and feel irritating or have outbursts of anger.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is related to several conditions including, depression, memory problems, social anxiety, substance abuse, or any mental disorder.

PTSD can cause occupational instability, marital issues, trouble in parenting, family discord and much more. PTSD enhances the chances of developing medical complications.

CBD Oil For Treating PTSD – How It Works?

The treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder using cannabis oil is making headway in the battle against PTSD. Research revealed that CBD oil had helped multiple patients with PTSD by improving the symptoms.

Numerous studies revealed that a human body consists of an optimum amount of anandamide that functions to keep the person emotionally stable.

However, low levels of this cannabinoid receptor result in causing PTSD, therefore, supplementing this deficiency by giving CBD oil from hemp can assist in filling the gap produced by PTSD. Also, CBD helps in blocking the mood receptors that regulate stress hormones, stimulate sleep hormones, and prevent flashbacks.

In a recent study, a correlation was discovered between the depressive behavior and BDNF levels in our brain. The findings indicated that CBD could prevent the PTSD symptoms by altering the BDNF levels in the brain.

CBD oil efficiently helps in treating those traumatic flashbacks that make the patients with PTSD feel unpleasant and terrified. It even assists in halting such memories that trigger the trauma.

Also, CBD oil has a substantial sedative effect that helps the patients facing difficulty in sleeping because proper rest and sleep is essential for a healthy and fresh brain.

CBD oil helps in developing a relaxed feeling without the mental impairment that efficiently helps in alleviating anxiety and depression. CBD oil is still a question for many; however, it has been showing promising results in treating PTSD and relieving its symptoms.

CBD And PTSD: What Research Says?

Recent research published by Frontiers in Pharmacology indicated that CBD oil has been showing some promising results against Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. CBD oil has a significant impact on reducing the fear memory.

Also, it helps in enhancing the disappearance of consciousness related to trauma. CBD efficiently performs its action of overcoming the fear memory with the help of its partial agonist, 5-HT1A.

Another study published in Behavioral Pharmacology suggested that CBD oil efficiently helps in balancing the anandamide levels in the body that prevents PTSD.

Administering cannabinoids after the exposure to the traumatic incident resulted in treating the PTSD symptoms. CBD oil also avoids the impact of stress on memory processes and emotional function.

It helps in alleviating the symptoms of PTSD including, nightmares, hyperarousal, irritability, insomnia, fear, and much more.

A study named Cannabidiol as a Potential Treatment for Anxiety Disorders indicated that CBD has an uncountable number of therapeutic properties across a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders including PTSD, GAD or PD.

Administering CBD oil one hour after stress daily resulted in reducing the anxiety by anxiogenic effects of CBD via the activation of 5-HT1A. CBD oil showed promising results by decreasing avoidance and arousal, preventing side-effects of stress, and by blocking the persistent terror or fear memories.

CBD Oil Dose For PTSD

There are various methods of administering CBD oil including, oil, tinctures, tablets, vaping CBD oil, and much more. Topical CBD is associated with the slowest time of response.

Also, oral CBD has intermediate time release. Whatever method you use, the effects are always gradual. It is better to start with a small dose of CBD oil and then gradually increase the dose to get the desired effects.

Daily sublingual ingestion of around 40- 160 mg of CBD oil helps in treating the sleep-related issues and nightmares in the patients who have PTSD.

In week 1, start the dose with three drops in the morning, three at afternoon, and six drops before you go to sleep. In week 2, start increasing the number of drops gradually like five drops in the morning, 5 in the afternoon, and ten drops before sleeping.

Keep improving it until week three, like seven drops in the morning, seven at afternoon, and 15 drops before going to sleep.

Instead of taking big doses, you can take small doses during the day. You can increase the dosage of CBD oil depending on anxiety. You need to be extremely observant of how your body is reacting to the dosage.

CBD Oil For Treating PTSD – Success Stories

Roger Davidson described his story explaining when he came back home after serving in the military for two years and got to know that he got diagnosed with a severe disorder name posttraumatic stress disorder.

He kept on speaking to his therapist daily. Also, Roger continued to manage his disease by taking 30mg doses of pure CBD oil daily. He illustrated that CBD oil helped him in better sleeping and efficiently reduced his day to day sensitivities to various triggers.

He happily claimed that the doses of CBD oil enabled him in not only his life but also the lives of his family and friends surrounding him.

Joyce Evans similarly explained her story that she survived a tragic car accident five years ago. She told that her physical damage was almost healed, however, her mind was extremely disturbed by that accident.

Later she was diagnosed with PTSD and started experiencing constant panic and anxiety caused by various outside triggers. She started the intake of CBD oil about nine months ago, and she was shocked to see such astonishing results.

She explained that she was able to drive her car again without experiencing any panic attacks or trauma and ultimately her sensitivities were improved.

How To Use CBD Oil For Treating PTSD?

CBD can get extracted in powder or oil form through marijuana plant. They can either be put in capsules so that it can be taken orally or can get mixed into gels and creams. It is available in various forms, however, using the tincture one is the easiest.

Also, capsules are easy but little expensive, and it makes it simple to evaluate the dosing of CBD oil. CBD oil is also available in spray form; however, they leak sometimes.

First shake the bottle well, so that all the products blend well. Then squeeze the dropper to fill it with oil and pour it under your tongue. Make sure you know the correct dosage of CBD oil.

Keep on holding the drops of CBD oil in your mouth for around 60 to 90 seconds and let the oil absorb into your system. Also, if you can’t hold it in your mouth for too long because of the strong flavor, then you can ingest it.

Repeat this process throughout the day to get the best-desired effect. Taking higher doses may make you feel sedative whereas taking CBD oil in little amounts can provide you with a calm feeling.

You can also try it in vaping form as it helps in transporting the CBD oil directly into the blood and it is one of the fastest processes.

Risks Of Using CBD Oil For Treating PTSD

Research on CBD oil indicated that CBD is safe and even at higher doses it is well-tolerated by the human body. Also, there are no physiological side-effects caused by the CBD oils.

It has almost no effect on heart rate, body pressure levels, glucose level, body temperature, pH, and other complicated systems.

Every human body reacts to the medicines differently; therefore, it depends on how every person responds to various CBD oil dosage.

While there are no significant side-effects of CBD oil for the posttraumatic stress disorder, there are some minor effects caused by CBD oil such as stomach ache, dizziness, hallucinations, fatigue, nausea, irritability, fogginess, dry mouth, and sleeping issues.

Also, the activity of the liver enzymes is inhibited such as cytochrome P450 and the alteration in hepatic drug metabolism.

Best CBD Oil For Treating PTSD

Purchasing CBD oil from a cheap store is not a clever idea because the effectivity of the CBD oil depends only on the quality of the product.

Also, various PTSD patients reported some minor side-effects caused by their CBD oil dose. It was later detected that they used inferior quality of CBD oil. Therefore, here are some of the best CBD oil products you can get your hands on.

It is a certified non-psychoactive pure CBD oil that is free of all the artificial and synthetic ingredients. This CBD oil product is premium, non-GMO strains of hemp that are organically grown in Colorado, USA. These strains are rich in beneficial phytochemicals including terpenes, flavonoids, omegas and dozens of additional cannabinoids. This results in a premium hemp oil that helps to calm the body and mind.

And our extraction methods are state-of-the-art. While others may use harsh solvents to extract hemp oil, Calm Premium Hemp Oil uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) which delivers a full spectrum extract for an entourage effect that is also pure and free of any solvents or toxins.
