Derived from the marijuana plant, a compound called cannabidol, or CBD, works to regulate important bodily functions through the body’s endocannabinoid system. These functions include pain, inflammation, mood, energy metabolism, sleep, anxiety, and stress. For adults, CBD appears to be a very safe product. CBD can be taken orally, as a tablet, chewable, or tincture. CBD can also be incorporated into solutions such as foams and topically administered.
