What is CBD?
- What is CBD?
CBD is short for “cannabidiol,” a natural compound unique to cannabis plants. It’s completely non-intoxicating.
“Cannabidiol is a phytocannabinoid discovered in 1940. It is one of 113 identified cannabinoids in cannabis plants, along with tetrahydrocannabinol, and accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract” [1]. And, fortunately for consumers of CBD SKY products, there is zero THC after we use nanotechnology to remove all traces of this psychoactive compound from the end product.There are two types of CBD – Here’s what you need to know about both types:
Full-spectrum CBD: CBD Sky products labeled as “full-spectrum” are made using the whole hemp plant. As such, they contain all the naturally occurring compounds in hemp, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Full-spectrum CBD is preferred by certain individuals over isolates due to the entourage effect they create. The entourage effect is the synergy between the aforementioned compounds.
CBD Isolate: CBD Sky isolates are exactly what they sound like — single molecules which are usually available in a crystal form. They are then powdered and can be infused into a variety of products. And the advantage of isolates is that they have no odor or flavor.

- How is CBD different from THC?
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), is a psychoactive cannabinoid, while CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Basically, unlike THC, CBD doesn’t get you “high.” Our bodies contain cannabinoid receptors which are located in different parts of the body.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are in both marijuana and hemp. Marijuana contains much more THC than hemp, while hemp has a lot of CBD.CBD and THC have the same chemical formula: 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. The difference lies in the way the atoms are arranged. That gives CBD and THC different chemical properties, and they affect your body differently.
Because of the chemical structure of THC, it is able to bind directly to the CB1 receptor. CBD Oil, on the other hand, does not have this ability. Because of this, THC is able to cause a change in the mental status and this may manifest as euphoria, paranoia, or delirium in excess doses. CBD interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors indirectly.

- How is CBD utilized by my body?
As humans, we have cannabinoid receptors are located throughout our bodies, together comprising the endocannabinoid system (ECS) which regulates many critical body functions.
One of the fundamental reasons for utilizing CBD by consumers is that our body is especially open to this compound. This body action is known as “bioavailability”.
Scientists all over the world have discovered that CBD compounds are closely connected to the interaction between cannabidiol (CBD) and the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). And by binding to certain and unique cannabinoid receptors, CBD has been shown in various studies to stimulate these receptors. This, in turn, reportedly enhances the vast majority of the body’s functions. That is, the enhancing of the signaling and function in the central nervous system (CNS).
