<\/h2>\nIn your pursuit of learning about CBD and CBD oil, you may have come across the term \u201cphytocannabinoid hemp oil.\u201d With all of the information out there about CBD, phytocannabinoids, and hemp oil, sometimes it can be hard to keep everything straight. Below we dive into the definition of phytocannabinoid hemp oil, explain how it differs from CBD oil, and also explore the types of phytocannabinoid hemp oil products that are available on the market today.<\/p>\n
In short, phytocannabinoid hemp oil contains all the beneficial ingredients of the hemp plant: over 100+ naturally occurring compounds, including essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and (of course) cannabinoids like CBD.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nBefore plunging into the world of phytocannabinoids, it\u2019s important to get a good understanding of cannabinoids in general. Cannabinoids are defined as the chemical substances capable of binding to receptors in the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system. They can come from plants, but certain kinds also naturally occur in the human body (endocannabinoids). Others can be manufactured synthetically.<\/p>\n
You may be wondering, \u201cWhat is the\u00a0endocannabinoid system\u00a0and what does it do?\u201d Scientists are still discovering answers to these questions, but the current consensus among researchers is that the endocannabinoid system plays a crucial role in regulating a number of bodily functions all in an effort to maintain \u201chomeostasis,\u201d or an overall state of balance. When cannabinoids are not adequately present to bind with receptors<\/a> in the system\u2019s cells, the body is unable to adequately maintain balance. Conversely, plant-derived cannabinoids (often taken in the form of cannabis goods like CBD oil) may help to augment the body\u2019s own naturally occurring cannabinoids to support the endocannabinoid system and improve overall well-being.<\/p>\n While all cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system, not all cannabinoids come from the same place.\u00a0Phytocannabinoids<\/i>\u00a0are the naturally-occurring cannabinoids found in cannabis plants like\u00a0hemp\u00a0as opposed to synthetic cannabinoids manufactured artificially and endocannabinoids, which are the cannabinoids naturally produced in the bodies of all mammals, including humans and most pets.<\/p>\n Yes \u2014 CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis sativa plant. Since it\u2019s derived from a plant, it is classified as a phytocannabinoid. CBD is one of the most prevalent phytocannabinoids in cannabis, composing up to 40% of the plant\u2019s extract. In industrial hemp, which can be selectively bred to contain high concentrations of CBD (and only 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis, per the\u00a02018 Farm Bill), CBD content can be much greater. CBD does not naturally occur in humans.<\/p>\n Phytocannabinoid hemp oil contains all the essential, beneficial, properties of the hemp plant\u00a0 -over 100+ naturally occurring compounds \u2013 including essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and (of course) cannabinoids.<\/p>\n First, it\u2019s important to explain that CBD oil and phytocannabinoid hemp oil are terms that are often used interchangeably because in most cases they refer to the same thing:\u00a0CBD hemp oil\u00a0extracted from the hemp plant. Most of the time, CBD oil is simply a more common way to describe phytocannabinoid hemp oil.<\/p>\n The term \u201cphytocannabinoid hemp oil\u201d is another way to describe\u00a0full-spectrum hemp oil\u00a0that contains CBD and the plant\u2019s other naturally occurring trace cannabinoids, as well as chlorophyll,\u00a0terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, and more.<\/p>\n With that said, \u201cCBD oil\u201d is sometimes used to refer to a hemp oil made with\u00a0CBD isolate, rather than full-spectrum hemp oil. This type of CBD oil is not phytocannabinoid hemp oil because it combines another type of oil with pure CBD only, without the other hemp-derived compounds and nutrients.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the presence of the entire full-spectrum of naturally occurring hemp compounds in the resulting oil that marks the difference between CBD oil and phytocannabinoid hemp oil.<\/p>\n The term\u00a0phytocannabinoid<\/i>\u00a0isn\u2019t new, per se, just more commonly used as more CBD oils hit the market. In fact,\u00a0HempMeds\u00ae\u00a0has sold phytocannabinoid hemp oil since day one via our\u00a0Real Scientific Hemp Oil\u00ae (RSHO\u00ae) Professional line<\/a>. A major benefit of full-spectrum phytocannabinoid hemp oil is that it\u2019s easier to dissolve, emulsify, and homogenize than isolate. For you DIYers, home chefs, wholesalers, or store owners, this is an important point to note.<\/p>\n Our\u00a0RSHO\u00ae Green Label<\/a>\u00a0is a great example of a true 1-to-1 phytocannabinoid hemp oil, as it\u2019s minimally processed to represent the hemp plant\u2019s biological and chemical makeup in the resulting oil. This means that when you consume our Green Label, it\u2019s like consuming the hemp plant \u2014 but much easier than chewing on raw stalks!<\/p>\n Our\u00a0RSHO\u00ae Blue Label<\/a>\u00a0is the same as our Green, but the cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) has been activated for greater cannabidiol concentration. Of course, you lose some terpenoids and precursors in the process (everything can only total to 100%, right?) but the increased CBD gives you more of the CBD\u2019s specific benefits.<\/p>\n Our\u00a0RSHO\u00ae Gold Label<\/a>\u00a0is an even more activated version of the Blue, decarboxylated oil that also removes the plant chlorophylls, lipids, waxes, and other plant matter, giving you a refined, golden, and pleasant-tasting oil.<\/p>\n No\u00a0 \u2014 not entirely. CBD is just\u00a0one<\/i>\u00a0phytocannabinoid of the hemp plant. Like THC, it\u2019s received plenty of media attention as its benefits and the stories of the people that it helps spread throughout the community. However, it\u2019s commonly accepted among the hemp oil community that phytocannabinoid hemp oil means full spectrum (with the over 100+ compounds that we have discovered to date).<\/p>\n Compounds like cannabigerol (CBG) and\u00a0cannabichromene\u00a0(CBC) may not yet have the same media attention; however, there is emerging research and evidence pointing to these newly identified cannabinoids that show they may be even more beneficial than CBD or THC by themselves. The\u00a0entourage effect, when multiple cannabinoids interact with one another to produce effects, gives the body many more benefits than any one cannabinoid alone. CBD oils that are made only from isolated cannabinoids give just\u00a0a select few<\/i>\u00a0benefits as opposed to a\u00a0group<\/i>\u00a0of benefits from this \u201centourage\u201d of cannabinoids.<\/p>\n We cover the benefits of phytocannabinoid hemp oil in our various articles that are posted inside our\u00a0blog<\/a>. Many of our customers report a sense of improved health and well-being, mentally and physically, when consuming hemp oil on a daily, recurring, basis. Like all good habits, they help you more in time as you stick to them.<\/p>\n The answer depends on the phytocannabinoid in question, as both\u00a0CBD and THC\u00a0interact with the body differently and vary in their effects.<\/p>\n CBD has shown to\u00a0not be psychoactive\u00a0nor addictive. As such, CBD is not tested for on most drug tests.<\/p>\n Most drug tests screening for cannabis use look for THC, or its main metabolite THC-COOH. THC is not only psychoactive when consumed in high amounts, but it can also cause you to fail a drug test if its presence is still detectable in your body\u2019s systems.<\/p>\n Since phytocannabinoid hemp oil contains no more than trace amounts of THC, in most cases it will not cause a positive drug test when it is consumed at suggested servings.<\/p>\n That said, in rare cases, hemp products have caused positive drug tests. If you are going to be taking a drug test, consult your doctor, employer, or drug test provider to learn how your test may respond to phytocannabinoid hemp oil and CBD.<\/p>\nWhat is the Difference Between Phytocannabinoids and Other Cannabinoids?<\/h2>\n
