Endocannabinoids are cannabinoids made by the body. Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids made by plants. Hemp Oil + is a synergistic blend of phytocannabinoids (and other active ingredients) from hemp stalk oil, clove, black pepper, hops, and rosemary. Blended in a base of nutritionally-rich hemp seed oil, these ingredients nourish the body’s endocannabinoid system – or ECS.* The ECS – its importance has only recently been realized – is being referred to as the most important body system you’ve never heard of.
Just what exactly does the ECS do? The ECS is the body’s primary regulatory system. It’s like an internal balancing mechanism, constantly keeping multiple body functions in a state of equilibrium. The body produces its own cannabinoids – endocannabinoids – that modulate these biological processes throughout the entire body. As such, endocannabinoids have a wide-ranging effect on everything from fertility to pain.
Thorne’s Hemp Oil + formula contains phytocannabinoids, which exert the exact same activity in the body as endocannabinoids do. The formula is unique because it’s sourced from Europe, where it is rigorously tested to ensure it contains only minimally detectable amounts of the phytocannabinoid THC – an active ingredient in Cannabis – which ensures it has no psychoactive properties. U.S. hemp oil extracts are not always tested for THC content. The hemp oil in Hemp Oil + is European certified organic, eco-farm certified, is non-GMO, and is CO2 extracted (so no solvents are used).
