What is cbd?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a fascinating compound derived from the hemp plant, with roots dating back to ancient times. Hemp, one of the earliest agricultural crops known to humanity, traces its history back to 8000 BCE in regions that are now part of modern-day China and Taiwan.

Early remnants of hemp include the discovery of hemp cords used in pottery and records indicating that hemp seeds and oil were staples in Chinese cuisine. As agriculture began to take shape around 10,000 years ago, hemp was among the first crops cultivated by our ancestors.

​

In recent years, CBD has captured the attention of the scientific community like never before, leading to a surge in research and exploration.

At Lordan Labs, while we refrain from making specific medical claims about our products, we eagerly follow the latest scientific investigations into the potential benefits of CBD, as well as other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, CBDa, and CBGa.

​

Research studies have delved into a wide range of potential applications for these compounds, including their effectiveness in addressing conditions such as epilepsy, anxiety, arthritis, stress reduction, sleep disorders, inflammation, chronic pain, depression, autism, certain cancers, and even their role in slowing the aging process in brain cells. The breadth of ongoing research on CBD and hemp is continually expanding, offering a glimpse into the vast potential this remarkable plant has to offer humanity.

​

As we venture deeper into this exciting realm of scientific exploration, it's evident that we are only beginning to unlock the myriad benefits that CBD and hemp-derived compounds can provide. We invite you to explore the links below for more information on current CBD research, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions you may have. Together, we can continue to uncover the many ways in which CBD and hemp can contribute to a healthier and more vibrant future. Check out some of the studies below, and please reach out with any questions!
