At Growlab closer attention to other compounds found in the cannabis plant that play a beneficial role along with cannabinoids known as Terpenes.

Research and expanded industry processing innovations has taken CBD products to a new level of customers crafting. One category of these compounds, known as terpenes, has begun to play a significant role in new product development. So, what are terpenes and how might it be use in cannabis formulation product line

Terpenes
Terpenes are classified aromatic organic hydrocarbon found in the cannabis plant and are the source of the distinct aroma and flavor of the plant. Terpenes are molecules produced by all plants they are the bulk source of the elements of essential oils.

Terpenes also provide an important function for the plant itself in terms of attracting pollinators, repelling predators, and providing protection from bacteria and other environmental hazards.

Presently Growlab is testing if botanically derived terpenes are essentially the same as the terpenes derived from cannabis in terms of elasticity bounding and efficacy: however, when formulating cannabis CBD products, the use of hemp-derived terpenes can only be identified with our brand supeorioty and purity of 100% cannabis sativa derived products.

Terpenes have been shown to have an interaction with the receptors on the cells of the endocannabinoid system throughout the human and mammalian body and this produces various effects. The effects can vary depending on the terpene and its properties.

Terpenes also have been shown to moderate our body’s interaction with cannabinoids, known as ‘the entourage effect’. This entourage effect demonstrates that the properties of the cannabis or hemp plant are more effective as a whole than in its individual parts.

This has opened the door for increased studies on cannabinoids and terpenes because it was through previous research that the synergy of terpenes with cannabinoids was elucidated. Interest in the possibilities of enhanced beneficial formulations for CBD products using isolated terpenes has certainly been trending in the market.
