Cannabinoids – Natural Plant Compounds for Body, Mind & Balance

What Are They?
Cannabinoids are active chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to regulate mood, pain, sleep, inflammation, and appetite. Common cannabinoids include THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), CBG, CBN, and more—each with unique effects.

Cannabinoids are extracted and formulated into various products such as:

• Oils, capsules, edibles, topicals, and vape liquids

• Available in both isolated (pure) and full-spectrum formats
