The Myths, The Legends - Now backed by Science #ADCOCBD

Hi Friends, 

For over 6 000 years, the cannabis plant has been widely used for various medicinal purposes1 and the health benefits have been fiercely debated for decades, with many claims dismissed along the way. Thankfully, science stepped in, and cannabis myths and legends are now backed by research. 

The benefits without the ‘highs’ 
The cannabis plant contains cannabinoids including cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).2 While the latter (THC) is the psychoactive (‘high’ inducing) component of cannabis, CBD is non-psychoactive and has been proven to be beneficial in treating a number of symptoms and medical conditions. These include anxiety, pain, inflammatory disease, epilepsy, depression, nausea, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.3 

The words ‘stress’ and ‘pain’ seem to be synonymous with life in the 21st century. Whenever one asks how someone else is doing, phrases like ‘stressed out’ and ‘tension headache’ frequently creep into conversations. While there has been a growing awareness around stress symptoms and coping mechanisms, as well as around ways of reducing chronic pain, sufferers are constantly searching for the ‘next big thing’ in pain and stress relief. And if it is available from a trusted and reliable source, all the better!

Introducing ADCO CBD 
This ground-breaking research into the benefits of CBD led pharmaceutical company, Adcock Ingram, to launch the ADCO CBD range of products. The range comprises ADCO CBD STRESS and ADCO CBD DAILY products, available in drops and capsule format. The ADCO CBD PAIN products are produced in drops, capsule and gel format. All products are laboratory tested, quality controlled, and do not contain sugar or tartrazine. 

All pain? No gain 
Typically caused by illness or injury, pain can wreak havoc on one’s quality of life. Chronic pain is usually associated with long-term illnesses like osteoarthritis and can be the result of tissue or nerve damage. Sadly, chronic pain can become resistant to conventional medical treatment, with 7 out of 10 people experiencing breakthrough pain even when they’re regularly taking their pain medication.4 CBD has been shown to relieve inflammatory, tissue, muscle, joint and neuropathic pain.5 It controls inflammation and pain without creating tolerance,6 is not psychoactive,7 and can be used on its own or added to pain medication.
