What is CBD?

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), it has no psychoactive effects, meaning it won’t make you feel high.

CBD interacts with your body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a regulatory system that helps maintain balance in key functions like sleep, stress, immunity and inflammation. The ECS is made up of receptors that respond to cannabinoids like CBD, supporting overall wellbeing. By working with this system, CBD may help regulate important processes in the body, potentially offering relief from issues such as chronic pain, anxiety and sleep disorders.

Broad Spectrum CBD CBD contains a rich blend of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids that work together in what’s known as the Entourage Effect. This natural synergy is believed to enhance the overall benefits of CBD, making it more effective than CBD isolate.

At Unspun, we choose Broad Spectrum because it keeps more of the plant’s goodness while ensuring THC levels remain below 0.2%. More balance. Just results you can feel.

CBD has been studied for a wide range of potential health benefits, including:

• Chronic pain relief – Many users report a reduction in pain and inflammation.
• Reducing anxiety – Some studies suggest CBD may help lower stress levels and promote calm.
• Improving sleep – Many people find that CBD supports better quality, uninterrupted sleep.
• Supporting immunity – CBD’s interaction with the ECS may help strengthen the body's natural defences.
• Reducing inflammation – CBD has known anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potential option for those dealing with arthritis or general inflammation.

CBD comes from the Cannabis Sativa plant. While hemp is often grown for fibre, cultivating it for CBD requires extra care. The plants must be harvested at peak potency, with leaves and buds carefully processed to retain their natural compounds.

At Unspun, we take an eco-friendly and organic approach to hemp cultivation, keeping our CBD products as natural as possible. After harvesting, we use a supercritical CO2 extraction process to ensure the highest purity and safety.

CBD comes in different forms, each with its own benefits:

• CBD oils – Versatile and can be taken orally or applied topically.
• CBD edibles (like our gummies) – A convenient and tasty way to take CBD on the go.
• Topicals – CBD-infused creams and lotions for targeted relief.
• Capsules – Easy to take, providing a precise, consistent dose.

At Unspun, we offer both CBD oils and gummies, giving you flexible options for adding CBD to your routine.

You probably want to see some evidence. First, let's focus on safety. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that CBD is generally well tolerated and has a good safety profile. CBD can interact with certain medications, so it is important to consult a health professional before using CBD if you are taking any medications, have underlying health conditions, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Next, let's dig into the health and wellness claims. Clinical trials and scientific studies are being published regularly in response to growing curiosity among the public and medical community.
