Questions about FLINOA

CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol. Cannabinoids are produced by the body itself in a natural way. They are important for the physiological balance in the body. Researchers have shown how important CBD is for maintaining normal body functions. CBD forms a protective shield for our mental and physical balance.

The endocannabinoid system – or ECS for short – is responsible for the physiological balance in the body and our overall well-being. The ECS is responsible for reward, pain, and temperature regulation. In ECS, the cannabinoids found in our body interact with the receptors and trigger many beneficial effects. However, plant cannabinoids, such as those found in the hemp plant, also activate these receptors. Endocannabinoids act on presynaptic cells to control the volume at which communication signals are sent. Thus, endocannbinoids influence the duration and intensity of the various physiological processes that they themselves control.

CB1 receptors are found primarily in the central nervous system, and also in the peripheral nervous system. CB2 receptors are predominantly located on cells of the immune system and on blood- and bone-forming cells.

To maintain the purity of our raw hemp, we use a highly efficient and at the same time gentle CO2 extraction process. It not only improves the quality of CBD, but also preserves a whole spectrum of other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, nutrients and other antioxidants, e.g. vitamin E.

Its an extraction process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to extract plant compounds such as CBD, CBG, terpenes, or flavonoids from a plant. This special extraction method is considered the most effective and gentle method of plant extraction.

Fedora 17 is a certified strain with high CBD content and less than 0.2% THC. It meets the strict EU production standards. Fedora 17 is currently listed in the official EU variety directory.

Around 140 of the many components in the hemp plant belong to the group of organic hydrocarbons – the so-called terpenes. Like cannabinoids, terpenes are found primarily in the exuded resin of the plant and each has specific properties. The combination of the different terpenes defines the fragrance of each hemp plant.

Flavonoids give the hemp plant its smell and color, protect it from UV radiation and harmful stresses, and keep it healthy.

Full spectrum CBD oil contains all the important natural ingredients of the original plant in its purest form. In full spectrum CBD oils there are a variety of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, fatty acids, terpenes, chlorophyll, fibre and flavonoids.

Full spectrum oil not only nourishes your body naturally, but also maintains its normal concentration of nutrients. Thus, it contains several important vitamins such as A, C, E and B complexes, as well as some important minerals such as iron, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and calcium.

The entourage effect is a term used to describe the beneficial synergy that naturally occurs in the hemp plant. All of the plant’s natural compounds work together to produce better results than when used in isolation. Kind of like how a group of instrumentalists play together in an orchestra.

CBD isolate is a highly purified form of CBD. It is extracted from the hemp plant in the shape of crystals. CBD isolates are used for cosmetic products in the EU.

When producing CBD isolates, we start in the same way as for whole extracts. Subsequent purification steps yield the highly pure CBD isolate.
