What is CBD?

Cannabinoid(also known as CBD) is a well-known natural substance that can be used to treat a variety of conditions. It can be found in tinctures, oils, and other edible foods, such as gummies and oils.

Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the primary mind-altering substance contained in cannabis, CBD is non-psychotropic.  However, industrial hemp plants are the most popular for CBD extraction.

Amazingly, the human body has an endocannabinoid (ECS) system. This complex system is capable of producing its cannabinoids. It also helps to achieve homeostasis by receiving and transmitting signals from cannabinoids like CBD. Cannabinoids can bind with the immune system and brain receptors.

Many scientific studies have demonstrated how CBD can affect the ECS. This study, published in Neurotherapeutics, suggests that CBD could inhibit or activate substances found in the ECS.

One example of how CBD can benefit the body is by stopping the absorption of anandamide.

Find Your CBD Niche and Products

You can buy CBD anything by looking at the shelves in any wellness shop’s (digital) stores. Many entrepreneurs are trying to capitalize on this consumer interest by selling creams and ointments as well as hemp clothing and accessories.

Which should you sell? The trendy stuff or the classics? That’s up to you. Look at the market opportunities in the specific niches first when assessing the overall market. These are the most in-demand niches:

CBD-infused foods/beverages.

Supplements/wellness products.

CBD-based cosmetics.

CBD pet products.

Next, zoom in on the product types. These are largely dependent on how CBD is consumed.

Drops and sprays: Both contain CBD oil. It is decarboxylated from hemp/hemp plants and mixed with a carrier oil. Sprays and drops can contain flavoring agents or other compounds to make them more enjoyable to consume.

Capsules and pills: A capsule or a capsule containing a cannabinoid is easier to digest. This form of CBD may also be more appealing to people who use it as an alternative to prescription medicine.

Vapes and cartridges with CBD: Inhalation products are popular among recreational marijuana users as well as those who enjoy vaping socially. This method is preferred by CBD users who are looking for pain relief. It absorbs CBD faster through inhalation.

Tinctures: CBD-based tinctures are made by mixing cannabinoids and alcohol, or any other strong solvent. CBD tinctures may also contain additional herbs. Although most tinctures don’t taste great, they are very popular among people who want to quickly feel the benefits of CBD.

Topical & patches: Ideal for targeted action like joint, back, or menstrual pains, CBD patches and topical ointments are best suited to those who don’t enjoy hemp flavor or prefer external applications.

CBD edibles: There are many options for CBD edibles, including gummies, candy, CBD honey sticksand chocolates. They make hemp seem less medicinal and more like a well-being treat.
