What exactly is CBD?

CBD is one of many naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in maintaining balance across various functions related to comfort and recovery.

CBD is widely recognized for its non-intoxicating nature and is commonly used in topical formulations designed for external application only.
