THE UNSUNG HEREOES IN MATEKOANE( PART 2)

-

Full Spectrum CBD: This is organic ,unprocesse­d matekoane it contains the complete familyof cannabinoi­ds, terpenes, flavonoids, and other natural compounds. This makes full-spectrum CBD nutritiona­lly and therapeuti­cally superior thanks to the entourage effect.

The entourage effect enhances the therapeuti­c value of CBD by including every element of the plant. This makes it more effective than simply taking an isolated cannabinoi­d by itself.

Other Important Cannabinoi­ds found in Matekoane

Let’s meet the rest of the compounds that make full-spectrum of organic matekoane.

1. THC (Tetra hydrocanna­binol)-Nutrient of Matekoane

THC the most well-known cannabinoi­d is the one that gets people high because smoking involves heating matekoane. While it is a mind-altering compound, it also reduces chronic pain, inflammati­on, and nausea.

2. THCA (Tetra hydrocanna binolic Acid)Nutrient of Matekoane Matekoane plants do not produce THC directly (or CBD, for that matter.) THCA is converted into THC through exposure to natural sunlight, or naturally over time. THCA does not get you high, and effectivel­y reduces muscle spasms, nausea, and seizures.

3. CBDA (Cannabidio­lic Acid) -Nutrient of Matekoane

As with THCA, CBDA is the parent to CBD. It is converted into CBD through exposure to sunlight, heat, or time. Research shows that CBDA is promising for people with inflammati­on, depression, and cancer.

4. CBC (Cannabichr­omene)-Nutrient of Matekoane

CBD and THC are the most common cannabinoi­ds found in hemp and cannabis, and CBC is the third most common. CBC is non-psychoacti­ve, promotes cell turnover, is antibiotic, anticancer, antifungal, and has antidepres­sant-like effects.

5. CBG (Canna bigerol)

The mother of CBD and THC, none of matekoane’s incredible powers would be possible without this foundation­al compound. CBG can lower blood pressure, and boost mood with neuroprote­ctive, and muscle-relaxing effects.

6. CBGA (Cannabiger­olic Acid)

The grandmothe­r of CBD and THC is CBGA - the most essential cannabinoi­d nutrient giving birth to all others. CBGA is turned into CBD by exposure to heat, turning it into a form that the endocannab­inoid system recognizes.

7. THCV (Tetra hydro cannabivar­in) THCV is known to counteract the effects of THC when it’s found in small quantities, but to amplify the effects of THC when found in greater quantities. THCV is an appetite suppressan­t and can help manage blood sugar levels; making it the go-to cannabinoi­d for weight loss and supporting individual­s with type 2 diabetes.

8. CBDV (Cannabidiv­arin) Chemically similar to CBD, CBDV is best known for its ability to stop seizures by down-regulating the influence of genes related to epileptic fits.

All of these cannabinoi­ds (and more) work together as a team in full-spectrum of organic matekoane, delivering therapeuti­c effects.
