frequently asked questions
GENERAL CBD
What is CBD ?
Cannabidiol or CBD is just one of over 85 cannabinoids discovered so far in the cannabis plant. CBD is present in more significant quantities in hemp than marijuana, and because it is non-psychoactive, CBD is widely regarded as the cannabinoid with the most medicinal potential by researchers. CBD interacts with the body’s natural endocannabinoid system to promote homeostasis.
What is in your CBD Oil Product?
Our Bliss CBD Oil products are derived from the highest grade organically grown hemp and processed using supercritical Co2 extraction to give you the purest CBD extract. We use advanced HPLC testing to ensure quality and safety of our products. The CBD isolates are then mixed with MCT oil for better bioavailability, faster absorption and longer shelf-life.
What’s the difference between CBD hemp oil and the hemp products I buy at the grocery store?
Hemp products sold in grocery and health food stores are most often created using hemp seed oil, which can contain only trace amounts of CBD. While it has been noted that hemp seed oil can be a great source of nutrition, its marginal quantity of CBD per weight makes it unfeasible as a CBD supplement.
Our Bliss CBD Formulas however, are extracted from the stalk of specifically selected, high-grade hemp cultivars, offering higher percentages of CBD extract by weight and mixed with MCT Oil for better bioavailability and longer shelf-life.
What plant is CBD extracted from?
CBD oil is extracted from the hemp plant. Bliss formula CBD oil is extracted using CO2 and then it is mixed with MCT oil.
What’s The Difference Between Hemp & Marijuana?
Hemp and marihuana are the same species of plant — Cannabis sativa.
The main difference between hemp and marijuana is the amount of THC they produce. Hemp is any plant that contains less than 0.3% THC by dried weight. Marijuana is any plant containing more than 0.3% THC. Hemp is completely legal in the United States and much of the world, while marijuana is generally considered illegal due to its psychoactive effects.

SCIENTIFIC TERMS
What Are Cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are a class of chemicals that interact with our endocannabinoid system. There are two main types of cannabinoids:
Phytocannabinoids (from plants)
Endocannabinoids (made by our bodies)
What are Endocannabinoids?
Endocannabinoids are chemical compounds that carry signals between nerve cells (neurotransmitters). The two main identified endocannabinoids are:
-Anandamide aka the Bliss molecule
-2-AG
How do endocannabinoids work?
They help our bodies regulate a number of functions ranging from appetite, sleep, mood regulation, neuro-protection, and immune function.
What are the endocannabinoid receptors?
Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory. There two receptors: CB1 and CB2
What is the endocannabinoid system?
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex network of receptors, molecules, and enzymes that work together to help maintain cellular balance, or homeostasis, within our bodies.
What is homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal state that persists despite changes in the world outside. All living organisms, must regulate their internal environment to process energy and ultimately survive.
Why Is Anandamide Important?
Anandamide Is one of the most important endocannabinoids in our body. It is a THC-like molecule which mimics the relaxing effects of THC.
Ananadamide comes from the Sanskrit word: Ananda which means Bliss; it is called the Bliss Molecule.
Anandamide’s ability to bind to CB1 and CB2 receptors can profoundly impact a host of physiological mechanisms, including appetite stimulation, mood fluctuation, pain management, and even fertility.
Anandamide is a mood enhancer and anxiety reducer.
What are CB1 Receptors?
CB1 preceptors are primary found in the brain and central nervous system.
CB1 receptors seem to influence cognition, memory, motor movements, and pain perception.
What are CB2 Receptors?
CB2 receptors are predominantly found in organs and are associated with a healthy immune system.
What is CBD isolate?
CB2 receptors are predominantly found in organs and are associated with a healthy immune system.
