Cannabidiol, or CBD, is just one of over 85 cannabinoids discovered to date in the cannabis plant. CBD is a legal botanical extract molecule. Because it is non-psychoactive, CBD is widely regarded as the cannabinoid with the greatest medical benefit potential by researchers. CBD interacts with the body’s natural endocannabinoid system to promote homeostasis for overall health and wellness.

CBD has been seen to exhibit many beneficial effects and is known to provide symptom relief for many common ailments, such as inflammation and sleeplessness.

The prevalent difference between ECN’s products and those CBD products available in public retail locations is the purity of the ECN product, the rigorous quality control procedures from cultivation and processing – and the unbiased lab testing conducted by independent laboratories. Our industrial hemp is sourced only from organically grown farms in the United States.

Physician oversight of your unique health issues and goals goes hand-in-hand with ECN’s mission of providing a truly superior product line that offers many potential health benefits. For that reason, the ECN product line is available only through healthcare professionals.

No, hemp is completely different from marijuana in its function, cultivation and use. Marijuana is widely known as a medicinal or recreational product. Hemp is used in a variety of products such as dietary and medicinal supplements, skin products and clothing.

The endocannabinoid system refers to a collection of cell receptors and corresponding molecules within the human body. These cell receptors are called endocannabinoids. When that endocannabinoid binds to a cell in your body, it relays a message, giving your cell a specific directive – like when to begin a process in your body or when to stop a process in your body.

Certain receptors – or endocannabinoids – are more concentrated in specific regions. CB1 receptors are abundant in the central nervous system. CB2 receptors are more often found on immune cells, in the gastrointestinal tract and in the peripheral nervous system. The diversity of receptor locations shows just how important endocannabinoids are for bodily functions.

ECS assists in maintaining optimal balance in the body, referred to as homeostasis, regulating sleep, appetite, digestion, hunger, mood, motor control, immune function, temperature regulation and more.

Therefore, if the ECS is disrupted, any one of these bodily functions can fall out of balance. When the body does not produce enough endocannabinoids or is unable to regulate properly, susceptibility to illnesses affecting one or several of the bodily functions above may occur.

The extremely complex ECS plays a vital role, offering treatment target area for many common and debilitating conditions.

Cannabinoids, terpenes and other chemical compounds found in industrial hemp offer limited small benefits when offered in isolation, as an individual component. Research suggests that when individual components of the industrial hemp are offered together, as a whole supplement, therapeutic benefits are magnified. This phenomenon is known as the “entourage effect.” The entourage effect supports the idea that whole plant medicine is superior to pure extracts.

Yes. We work closely with our commercial growers, processing plants and distributors to ensure ECN is compliant with all existing laws regarding the use of industrial hemp.

Section 7606 of existing federal law states that regardless of another federal law (including the Controlled Substances Act), if the growing and cultivation of industrial hemp is allowed under state law and overseen by the Department of Agriculture, then the product can be manufactured and sold as part of the state’s approved hemp pilot program.

Cannabichromene (CBC): CBC phytocannabinoids contribute to the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal effects of medical cannabis.

Cannabidiol (CBD): A major phytocannabinoid, accounting for as much as 80% of the plant’s extract.

Cannabigerol (CBG): The non-acidic form of cannabigerolic acid, the parent molecule from which many other cannabinoids are made.

Cannabinol (CBN): A non-psychoactive cannabinoid with analgesic properties that reportedly aids in sleep and appetite regulation.

Terpenes: Non-psychoactive molecules that enhance norepinephrine activity and increase dopamine activity.

Consult with your physician at all times. It is imperative that patients begin conservatively and slowly titrate to effect; refer to your physician for your optimal dose.
