The lifespan or time of every human presents them with various opportunities in which they have to make decisions based on their choices or preferences. And people will always choose what they most prefer.

The fact however, that there are options is part of the variety of life. And even where there seems to be no options, options can still be created over time. Even as it concerns your health, you do have certain options on the treatment you take. And for those who choose CBD, there is also the capsule form that you can take but first let’s look at the following:

What is CBD?

This is one of the elements that make up the cannabis sativa plant also known as marijuana that has been found to have various health benefits. Its full name is cannabidiol and unlike the other major element of the cannabis plant known as tetrahydrocannabinol or THC for short, it is not psycho active (meaning that you wouldn’t get high from consuming it). You can read more about it here.

What are the Health Benefits of CBD

There are health benefits of cannabidiol in the human body. This is so because there are endocannabinoid receptors in the human body which interact well with CBD when it is ingested by an individual in particular and all mammals in general. This is the primary reason for its various health benefits in the body. Some of the health benefits include:

It Is Anti-Seizure

Research so far has shown that cannabidiol is able to quell seizure in people however, the extent to which it is able to do this is not yet fully ascertained. Thus, it can be recommended for people with epileptic conditions for relief from the seizure attacks.

Anxiety Relief

People with anxiety challenges or conditions (especially those suffering from panic attacks) can take CBD for relief from the condition. This is because, it is able to positively affect how your brain responds to serotonin which is the chemical in your body that is linked to mental health. It is even recommended for those with PTSD as it has proven helpful to them.

It Protects the Brain

The medical word for this function is neuroprotection. Some people suffer from neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease which can take a huge toll on the individual and on loved ones. However, cannabidiol is neuroprotective and will prevent further deterioration of an individual’s brain functions and prevent the condition from developing in people who are susceptible to it. 

Pain Relief

Again, this is due to CBD’s ability to interact with the receptors in the brain, this helps the body to bear pain. The pain here is not just headaches and all but includes those undergoing chemotherapy, spinal cord injuries and chronic pain. Many people who have used it prefer it to analgesic as they believe it to be more effective.

Cancer Treatment

Studies have shown that cannabidiol prevents the growth of tumors including cancerous tumors in the body. These studies have not yet been able to categorically state why this is possible but all studies show that indeed it does prevent cancerous growth. This does not mean that it is a cure in itself rather, it is more of a preventive measure.   

It is Anti-Acne

Many people have skin care issues (acne primarily) for which they apply many skin care ointments and medications. CBD helps prevent the over activity of the sebaceous glands that produce sebum on the skin because too much of it is the primary cause of acne. However, it is important that you also consult your skin care specialist before going ahead with this option especially if you have a severe condition.

What Are CBD Capsules?

Can I Open a CBD Capsule and Use That Oil Sublingually? - South Florida  Reporter

Well, simply put, they are full spectrum CBD packaged in the form of a pill just as you have other drugs or medications in pill forms. An additive is added to it to make dosage calculations possible while coconut powder is also part of its make up as it helps to boost its absorption in the body and also improves its effectiveness generally.

As can be deduced from the above, it is made up totally of vegan ingredients and are full spectrum organic. It is also not made with any animal gelatin, its dosing is easy and there is no after taste after its ingestion.

How Do These Pills Work?

The first thing to know is that they work very well. The basic and only difference is in the manner the body absorbs it which is different from how CBD creams or vapes are absorbed. For absorption to start, the pill has to have been ingested into your stomach from where it goes to your liver then to your blood stream and then to the endocannabinoid receptors in your body.

Another point to note is that there is no best or better form of cannabidiol whether it be pills, oil, cream or vapes, it is all a matter of choice and preference. The only difference in these products is in how the body absorbs it.

Finally, a question one might ask is; can you break open cbd capsules to ingest its content? And the answer to this is yes you can, if you would want your body to absorb it sublingually. However, these capsules are designed to be ingested through the digestive tract and would not be as effective as it should be if ingested otherwise.

Conclusion

As earlier stated, people will always be left with choices that they have to make themselves. Sometimes however, these choices have consequences.

But with CBD products, there is no wrong choice, just personal preferences. And any choice you make in this instance, will still work for your good.
