What is Gut Health?

The human gut is a complex system that has a huge impact on whole-body health. Along with effective digestion, a healthy gut contributes to a strong immune system, heart health, brain health, improved mood, and better sleep.

Benefits of CBD for Gut Health

Every living being with vertebrae has a natural endocannabinoid system that serves the purpose of restoring and maintaining balance in the body. Endocannabinoid receptors are found throughout the body, but are highly concentrated in the brain and gut. These receptors interact with the gut in a number of ways:

• - Regulating digestion through improved nutrient absorption
• - Reducing gut inflammation
• - Bridging communication with the brain

CBD for gut health engages the endocannabinoid system by interacting with receptors throughout the body. Unlike its cousin, THC, CBD will not cause a high.

Gut Health and Mental Health

If you have ever experienced the sensation of butterflies in your stomach or needing to go to the bathroom before public speaking or a competitive event, you understand that there is a relationship between the gut and the brain. This concept extends to mental health as well. There is consistent research emerging that demonstrates that the brain and gut do communicate with each other in very important ways to control mental stress and physical ailments. Gut health and mental health may both improve with a properly functioning and engaged endocannabinoid system.

• - The Intestines - The smooth muscles on the intestine walls are relaxed by curcumin, which helps to comfortably push food through the digestive process. The addition of turmeric can also reduce gas and bloating.
• - The Colon - Curcumin helps balance your gut bacteria and encourages healing when leaky gut or pathogenic bacteria is present.

• - The Liver - The combination of turmeric and fiber-rich foods can help your liver more efficiently cleanse cholesterol from the body. Boosting bile production helps trap cholesterol and move it though the liver to the colon.
