Hemp seed is rich in protein!

Hemp seed is a rich source of protein, second only to soy.

The type of protein it contains is formally called edestin; it matches proteins found in human blood! This particular protein is great with assisting digestion and boosting the immune system.

Vegans and vegetarians use hemp seed to get their daily protein. The average adult male would require about 5 cups of hemp seeds per day to get the necessary amount of protein and fatty acids. Since it suppresses appetite, it also helps people trying to lose weight.

CBD Dosage Information

The optimal dosage levels of CBD are uncertain due to a lack of human studies. Most recommendations for something such as chronic pain or muscle tension is 5 mg -10 mg a day Chronic high doses of up to 150 mg per day are well tolerated and produce no noticeable physiological effects. However, there is evidence to suggest that the nutritional benefits of CBD disappear when dosages become excessive.

How does CBD interact with my body?

Cannabidiol (CBD) a non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, has generated significant interest among scientists and physicians in recent years—but how CBD exerts its therapeutic impact on a molecular level is still being sorted out by scientists. Cannabidiol is a pleiotropic drug in that it produces many effects through multiple molecular pathways.

Serotonin Receptor

CBD directly activates the 5-HT1A (hydroxytryptamine) serotonin receptor, thereby conferring an anti-depressant effect. This G-coupled protein receptor is implicated in a range of biological and neurological processes, including (but not limited to) anxiety, addiction, appetite, sleep, pain perception, nausea and vomiting.

Vanilloid Receptors

CBD directly interacts with various ion channels to confer a therapeutic effect. CBD, for example, binds to TRPV1 receptors, which also function as ion channels. TRPV1 is known to mediate pain perception, inflammation and body temperature.

GPR55—orphan receptor

CBD is a GPR55 antagonist, as University of Aberdeen scientist Ruth Ross disclosed at the 2010 conference of the International Cannabinoid Research Society in Lund, Sweden. By blocking GPR55 signaling, CBD may act to decrease both bone reabsorption and cancer cell proliferation.

PPARs – nuclear receptor

CBD also exerts an anti-cancer effect by activating PPARs [peroxisome proliferator activated receptors]. PPAR receptors regulate genes that are involved in energy homeostasis, lipid uptake, insulin sensitivity, and other metabolic functions. Diabetics, accordingly, may benefit from a CBD-rich treatment regimen.

Consuming these oils and utilizing balms, lotions, edibles, and other hemp and CBD products on a regular basis will ensure a long and healthy life due to the minimal amount of saturated fats.

Remember, that consumption in excessive amounts has been known to make benefits become less noticeable for some individuals. For the best results, use Heartland Hemp Inc. products in moderation. We recommend that most adults take no more than 100mg per day. Many will experience the benefits of CBD at doses as low as 5mg – 10mg. Consult your physician about your options for taking CBD, and what is right for you.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

Measuring the amount of daily protein intake should be discussed with your physician. For additional reference, the NAL (National Agricultural Library) of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) has a calculator for measuring daily nutrient recommendations for dietary planning based on the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). These represent the most current scientific knowledge on nutrient needs, developed by the National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine. Individual requirements may be higher or lower than the DRIs.

A Brief History:

In the spring of 1998, the British government licensed a company called GW Pharmaceuticals to grow cannabis and develop a precise and consistent extract for use in clinical trials. GW’s co-founder Geoffrey Guy, MD, was convinced—and had convinced the Home Office—that by using CBD-rich plants, GW could produce a cannabis-based medicine with little or no psychoactive effect.

That summer Guy described his approach at a meeting of the International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS). In addition to countering the psychoactivity of THC, Guy said, CBD conferred benefits of its own. GW got its CBD-rich strains by acquiring the genetic library of HortaPharm, a Dutch seed company run by American expatriate horticulturists, David Watson and Robert Clarke.

CBD-rich cannabis has a long history of being used to treat health problems. Queen Victoria used CBD-rich cannabis for menstrual cramps in the 19th century. Animal studies had long suggested that CBD lessens anxiety and reduces the severity and frequency of seizures. But, up until a few years ago, CBD-rich strains were generally not available to cannabis users in California and other areas. Generations of breeding marijuana for maximum THC and a strong “high” had reduced the CBD to trace amounts in most cannabis strains in Northern California, America’s cannabis breadbasket.

Dr. Tod Mikuriya, founder of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, expressed hope that “our Burbanks in the hills” of Northern California would develop CBD-rich strains if and when analytic labs began serving the medical cannabis industry.

As the years went by, more and more promising scientific studies involving CBD were described at meetings of the ICRS, the International Association for Cannabinoid Medicine, and Patients Out of Time. Some California doctors kept abreast of the research and O’Shaughnessy’s reported on it, but we were merely observers, not participants, until the fall of 2009, when Oakland’s Steep Hill Laboratory tested cannabis samples provided by Harborside Health Center and found a few strains with more CBD than THC.

Before long, several dozen labs in medical marijuana states were calibrating cannabinoid ratios and identifying the occasional CBD-rich strain. For data collection purposes, we initially defined “CBD-rich” as 4% or more by dry weight. In addition to balanced strains with roughly equal amounts of CBD and THC, a handful of CBD-dominant strains—with 20-to-1 CBD:THC ratios or higher were discovered, fostering a cottage industry of CBD-rich concentrates, oil extracts, and other CBD-rich products.
