What is CBD?

Cannabidol (CBD) is a phytocannabinoid produced by the Cannabis sativa L plant. This means that unlike the endocannabinoids (en-do-can-nab-in-oid) synthesized inside of our body, CBD is found in hemp. Regarded for its various benefits, CBD interacts with our body’s endocannabinoid system.
