What is Hemp Extract?

Hemp extract is a concentrated form of the hemp plant. While it is related to the cannabis plant, it is not the same. Hemp has a high level of cannabidiol compounds (CBD) like cannabis, but low levels of psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). 

In Unstoppable products, we use hemp oil that contains only aerial parts of the hemp plant (the parts that are completely exposed to air, including the leaves, flowers, and stems). This is because the aerial parts have the highest concentration of beneficial nutrients, cannabinoids, and terpenes.

Benefits of Hemp Extract

Most of hemp extract’s benefits come from its concentration of cannabidiol compounds, or CBD:

• Relieves pain.

  Studies show that hemp extract may reduce inflammation and pain in the joints with little to no side effects.
  
  

• Reduces anxiety and depression.

  Hemp extract mimics the effects of serotonin in the brain by binding to the receptors that regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. Studies show that this may lead to reduced rates of depression and anxiety.
  
  

• Improves skin quality.

  Hemp extract has positive effects on the skin, especially for inflammatory conditions like acne.
  
  

• Reduces seizures.

  One of hemp extracts earliest and most researched benefits is its ability to reduce seizures in those with epilepsy. 

What is Hemp Extract Used For?

Hemp extract has become a popular natural medicinal for a range of health conditions, including pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, and skin conditions.

We use aerial hemp extract in both our CBD tinctures: AM Tincture: Focus + Endurance 1000MG CBD and PM Tincture: Rest + Recovery 1000MG CBD. In these formulations, the hemp extract provides pain relief and balances the nervous system.
