Weight loss isn’t a quick jaunt; it’s often a very long expedition with many turns, twists, and bumps in the road. At this time of year, many of us our making New Year’s resolutions to lose those extra few pounds. But we’ve tried it before, only to regain them. Is there something else that can help? Something that we haven’t tried yet, something to keep us on track and motivated by seeing real results on the scale—Enter THCV.
THCV has been dubbed the “diet weed” and while that is a catchy title, the science behind THCV and the fact that it’s NOT “marijuana” deserves a more serious connotation, but for the sake of simplicity, let’s dive into its mechanism of action and details.
The main advantage of THCV over THC (cannabis) is the lack of psychoactive effects. THCV has been studied and shown to reduce appetite, increase satiety, and up regulate energy metabolism. In previous studies, THCV has shown to induce glucose metabolism, glycemic control, and energy regulation. In type 2 diabetes, THCV also showed reduced fasting plasma glucose concentration, as well as dyslipidemia and glucose control.
THCV is an antagonist of the CB1 receptor. It acts as an appetite suppressor and may be helpful in helping people lose weight. THCV has also been known to help individuals maintain focus and clarity, and to reduce stress. What a great way to help you get through the day all while reducing your cravings to snack and overindulge.
The Endocannabinoid System
Our brain and nerve cells have cannabinoid receptors, so our bodies naturally react to CBD. The structure of these interacts directly with our cells. Our natural endocannabinoid system works synergistically with CBD, creating a multitude of beneficial reactions in the body. The endocannabinoid cells have tiny receptors that take in chemicals and produce responses. This natural system in our bodies regulates things like mood, sleeping, immunity, pleasure, memory and much more. This intricate system also regenerates the body via the cannabinoid’s anti-inflammatory effects. CBD is known to bind to receptors and is thought to regenerate cells and brain function.
CBD derived from Hemp Oil is becoming a trusted source by many individuals for its multiple benefits.
