Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids: The Science Behind the Spectrum
Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant. They interact with the human body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) — a complex cell-signaling network that plays a role in regulating mood, sleep, pain perception, immune response, and more. At cbdDR, we specialize in four primary cannabinoids, each with distinct mechanisms and wellness applications.
The Four Cannabinoids We Formulate With
CBD — Cannabidiol
The most extensively researched cannabinoid. CBD interacts primarily with CB2 receptors and modulates serotonin signaling pathways. It is non-intoxicating and is associated with supporting relaxation, stress response, and general wellness. cbdDR offers CBD in both broad spectrum (with supporting cannabinoids) and as a primary active in our standardized tinctures.
CBG — Cannabigerol
Often called the "mother cannabinoid" because other cannabinoids biosynthetically derive from its acidic precursor, CBGA. CBG interacts with both CB1 and CB2 receptors and has demonstrated potential in preclinical research for anti-inflammatory effects, neuroprotection, and supporting focus and energy. cbdDR's CBG-rich formulations deliver 650mg CBG per bottle.
CBN — Cannabinol
CBN is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid formed through the oxidation of THC — however, at the trace levels found in hemp-derived products, it produces no intoxicating effect. CBN has shown sedative properties in research and is widely used to support sleep quality and nighttime relaxation. cbdDR's CBN-rich tincture delivers 650mg CBN per bottle.
CBC — Cannabichromene
A non-intoxicating cannabinoid that does not bind strongly to CB1 receptors but interacts with TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors involved in pain signaling. Preclinical research suggests CBC may support anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and mood-related pathways. cbdDR's CBC-rich tincture delivers 650mg CBC per bottle.
Why Standardization Matters
Most cannabinoid products on the market are not standardized — meaning the concentration of active cannabinoids can vary significantly from batch to batch. cbdDR formulations are engineered to deliver precise, consistent cannabinoid concentrations in every bottle. Every batch is independently tested and results are published in our Batch Database.
