The hemp plant has been part of human culture for thousands of years, from paper and fabrics to animal feed and medicine. Every bit of this remarkable herb has been used for good. Where our health is concerned, we are just beginning to understand the bounty of its benefits when it comes to our own natural immunity and balanced wellness.

In 2022, research folks from Oregon State University found that certain hemp compounds have the ability to prevent the virus-causing COVID -19 from entering human cells. These specific compounds are cannabigerolic acid, CBGA and cannabidiolic acid, CBDA. Both compounds are the raw precursor molecules of CBG and CBD. According to the OSU study, it was found that CBDa and CBGa were more effective against the virus than their decarboxylated forms: CBD and CBG. We are pleased to offer both cannabinoids in a number of our recipes, including our Full Spectrum CBD Infused Gummies.

Here at Nutrient Sense, we work to ensure that our hemp flower extraction process allows the original plant compounds to remain in their original raw state. Our goal is to not only retain CBD but the full spectrum of additional cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, essential fatty acids, and more. With the science showing that CBD and its allies work better together to support a healthy immune system, we just couldn’t leave anything out.
