CBD VS COPAIBA ESSENTIAL OIL

We will be comparing CBD Oil with Copaiba Essential Oil. But

first, we must examine the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

We have many systems in our bodies such as digestive system, respiratory system, reproductive system, etc. The Endocannabinoid System was discovered in the 1960s.

The Endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a crucial molecular system that the body uses to help maintain homeostasis (equilibrium between physiological processes in our bodies). It may be involved in regulating physiological and cognitive processes, including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.

ECS is a system of 3 elements: (1) receptors, (2) molecules, and (3) enzymes.

(1)   Receptors: There are 2 types of receptors: CB1 and CB2.

CB1 receptors are found mostly in the brain and spinal cord and the central nervous system. Involved with psychoactive functions.

CB2 receptors are mostly involved with your immune system, but also found in the heart, liver, lungs.

(2)   Molecules: There are molecules that interact within the ECS system. The 2 main molecules are Endocannabinoids which are produced by the body. And secondly, Phytocannabinoids which are plant produced. Examples of plants with Phytocannabinoids are Melissa, Black pepper, Cannabis, Black truffles, the Cacao plant, and Copaiba plant.

(3)   Enzymes: Maintain levels of endocannabinoids that our body naturally produces by creating or destroying them as needed.

There are 2 substances that interact with ECS System and produce physiological response in the body: (1) Betacaryophylline, which is found in the Copaiba plant and to a lesser degree in other plants such as cinnamon, oregano, black pepper. And (2) CBD which is only one of over 100 chemical compounds in the marijuana plant. It is not THC. It is not psychoactive.

Let’s compare these 2 substances.

(1)   Betacaryophylline. The Copaiba plant is 45-80% Betacaryophylline. This substance selectively and DIRECTLY binds to CB2 receptors in the ECS system and directly activates the CB2 receptors. This binding causes rapid changes in cellular effects and long-lasting effects, stimulating your immune system. This works on many different pathways in the body, even outside the ECS system, helping many of our body’s systems for our well-being. The CB2 receptors transmit signals inside the cell to modify cellular activity. They’re a target to regulate immune and inflammatory response for healthy brain, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, digestive, and cellular function.

(2)   CBD has slower cellular effects because CBD doesn’t bind to the receptors very easily. There is NO DIRECT binding to the receptors. CBD works more as a “helper” to regulate other molecules that, in turn, directly bind to the receptors. THC binds directly to the receptor, but not CBD. CBD works indirectly. 

“Researchers once believed that CBD attached to these CB2 receptors, but it now appears that CBD does not attach directly to either receptor. Instead, it seems to direct the body to use more of its own cannabinoids.” (Medical News Today, July 27, 2018)

Now let’s talk about PURITY. A JAMA November 7, 2017 article published a study that compared ingredients listed on the labels of cannabidiol products sold online to actual product constituents determined by laboratory analysis.

They found that 69% of CBD products on the market did NOT have the concentration of CBD in the bottle that was on the label. In other words, 69% of the time the product was mislabeled or adulterated. Only 39% of the online products were labeled correctly. Also, many had a greater level of THC than is currently allowed by federal regulations.

Clinical doses of CBD can potentially harm the liver. On the other hand, Betacaryophylline (in Copaiba) is safe and non-toxic.

The Betacaryophylline (in Copaiba) is good for:

               Cellular health

               Healthy inflammatory response

               Healthy organ function

               Body comfort

               Memory function

               Lipid regulation

               Cellular antioxidant defenses

               Cellular longevity

               Virtually all body functions, NOT JUST THE ECS SYSTEM

Here are Copaiba Essential Oil benefits for you:

               Taken orally, aids your immune system and your brain

               Taken orally, supports a healthy female reproductive system

               Taken orally, supports healthy inflammatory response

               Used daily, helps you live a longer healthier life (homeostasis from the ECS system)

               Diffused, creates a calming environment

               Topically, improves the absorption of other Essential Oils

You can purchase Copaiba Essential Oil at a better price for a beneficial dose than CBD oil.
