CBD
Cannabidiol (CBD) is thought to work on the nervous systems that regulate sleep and mood, and also increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can help alleviate anxiety.4,5
CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are natural compounds found in the cannabis sativa plant, however THC has psychoactive properties that can cause a 'high', whereas CBD does not.4,5 The World Health Organization has also found that in humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential.4
CBD can be extracted from the plant, but it is nearly impossible to attain a completely pure formulation due to the hundreds of components in the plant.4 However, when it is made in a laboratory, there are no impurities to start with, so the product is considered safer and purer.
