Accidental combination of therapeutically active elements with natural cannabidiol is not always safe for the human body
In the interests of foreign customers, national experts have developed several formulations of supplements that effectively enhance human immunity , as well as improve the absorption of oxygen by the brain by 15-20%. Despite the fact that these drugs are based on the therapeutic properties of the "Mriya" variety (the recipe is prepared for use at the moment outside the territory of our country), other natural substances have been found that can significantly increase immunity in a natural way and extremely effectively fight not only with Covid 19, but also with a number of other serious, including chronic diseases... These drugs are already present on the national market in limited quantities, but unfortunately, without the use of therapeutically active components of the hemp plant in their formulation at the moment.
Since the emergence of information about the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, significant attention of citizens of economically developed countries of the world has been directed to strengthening the immune system of the human body. A significant part of consumers turn to food products with therapeutic properties (nutraceuticals), various additives (food, biologically active, dietary), health and personal care products (cosmetic or hygiene products) that contain adaptogenic herbal ingredients to relieve stress and nootropics to improve brain function.
Plant-based cannabidiol is among the products with the above properties, and major brands in the CBD industry have jumped at the opportunity to offer products that claim to support immune health or cognitive function in the human body. That is why various companies are “bringing” CBD products to the market that contain other popular dietary supplements such as turmeric, melatonin, elderberry, etc. Mixing such compounds is a common trend in the food supplement industry, and many of their manufacturers are launching products that, in addition to natural cannabidiol, contain other natural constituents that, in their opinion, significantly increase the immunity of the human body.
Despite the fact that CBD in combination with popular supplements is already on the market in our country, scientific data on the safety of such products and the effectiveness of their intended effects are not provided. For example, research shows the potential effectiveness of using turmeric as an anti-inflammatory agent. Evidence has already been obtained that plant cannabidiol can be effectively used as an effective agent for the treatment of various kinds of inflammatory reactions. However, there is no data on how plant cannabidiol and turmeric interact as an anti-inflammatory agent, and manufacturers ignore this gap, suggesting that combining them in a common formulation will provide additional efficacy for these substances.
This kind of opinion is not always correct and from a safety point of view it is important to understand how different combinations of additives interact with each other and whether their mixture can adversely affect the human body. For example, fish oil and Ginkgo Biloba are used to reduce cognitive impairment, but when combined, they can cause blood thinning. That is why the combination of additives - even natural ones - without appropriate testing is not recommended, and in some cases even dangerous.
Another important issue is the dosage of each compound when formulating the final product. Companies everywhere are guilty of using the names of raw materials that are used in the manufacture of final products, assuming their use solely for marketing purposes. Using their minimum amount in the product, the final product can at best act as a placebo in such cases.
Commentary of the specialists of the Association "Ukrainian technical hemp"
Adaptogens are a group of substances of natural or artificial origin that can increase the body's nonspecific resistance to a wide range of harmful effects of physical, chemical and biological nature.
Nootropics (neurometabolic stimulants) are agents designed to provide a specific effect on higher mental functions. Nootropics are believed to be able to stimulate mental performance, enhance cognitive function, improve memory, and increase learning ability. It is assumed that nootropics increase the brain's resistance to a variety of harmful effects, such as excessive exercise or hypoxia.
On the national market, there are already various kinds of products that are positioned as products that significantly increase the immunity of the human body, relieve stress, and improve the functions of the brain. An analysis of the composition of the formulation of the aforementioned products suggests that, for the most part, not vegetable, but synthetic cannabidiol is used as the main ingredient. In addition, the amount of therapeutically active elements contained in single dosage does not allow us to state that the final product has any significant therapeutic effect. Unfortunately, in the overwhelming majority of cases, what is currently sold on the market as immunity-enhancing products in which cannabidiol is formulated is essentially a placebo, which, at best, has a neutral effect on the human body.
