A CBC GUIDE: EXTRACTION, STORAGE, PRICE, BENEFITS, AND MORE

 THC, CBD, and CBN are well-known cannabis acronyms that frequently make headlines. Nonetheless, they account for only half of the "big six" cannabinoids studied for medical purposes. So let's move on to the sixth compound on the list, cannabichromene, or CBC Oil Wholesale.

CBC is the second-most abundant cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, trailing only THC-scientists who published this discovery in 1975!

Researchers discovered CBC over 50 years ago, and the majority of studies were conducted in the 1980s, revealing its excellent antibacterial properties.

Following the 1980s research, scientists concentrated on other compounds. However, CBC has resurfaced in the last decade, with studies citing its beneficial effects on pain, inflammation, brain health, and other conditions. With numerous medical benefits awaiting investigation, there are compelling reasons to bring Wholesale CBC Distillate out of the shadows and into product lines.

WHAT ARE CBC'S REPORTED BENEFITS?

Despite being found only second to THC in the cannabis plant, CBC has taken a back seat to CBD and CBN in recent decades. Numerous studies, however, show that this cannabinoid has a wide range of therapeutic benefits.

ANTIBACTERIAL

CBC has potent antibacterial properties and is effective against a wide range of bacteria and fungi. Turner and Elsohly, for example, discovered in 1981 that CBC aided in the fight against both staph and E.coli. More recently, scientists from Italy and the United Kingdom reported in 2008 that Wholesale CBC Distillate and other cannabinoids were as effective against MRSA, a cause of staph infection, as powerful pharmaceutical medications like Vancomycin!

INFLAMMATION AND PAIN

When it comes to combating pain and inflammation, CBC is a poster child for the "entourage effect," or how cannabinoids work together synergistically to increase their beneficial effects. For example, a 2010 study found that combining CBC Oil Wholesale with THC resulted in a far greater anti-inflammatory response than either cannabinoid alone. A rat study published in 2011 discovered that Wholesale CBC Distillate and CBD effectively blocked the pain associated with collagen-induced osteoarthritis.

MENTAL HEALTH

CBC, like other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, promotes neurogenesis, or the formation of new neurons in the brain. A 2013 study that looked at the effects of neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs) in adult mice discovered that these cells differentiate into a variety of other cells, which aids brain growth and recovery. Wholesale CBC Distillate improved the function of NSPCs in the study. NSPCs, it turns out, differentiate into astroglial cells, which protect against oxidative stress, toxicity, and inflammation—all of which contribute to neurological diseases like Alzheimer's.

CANCER

CBC interacts with anandamide, the body's naturally occurring endocannabinoid, allowing it to stay in the bloodstream longer. Anandamide has been shown in studies to fight breast cancer, implying that CBC and other cannabinoids may be effective cancer fighters.

ANTIDEPRESSANT

We've all heard about how THC and CBD can help with anxiety disorders, but a 2010 study found that CBC can also have an antidepressant-like effect. Another example of the entourage effect was when CBC was combined with THC and CBD to increase the positive effects of the combined cannabinoids.

SKIN HEALTHIER

Could CBC be used instead of expensive acne creams? A 2016 study found that CBC's anti-inflammatory properties made it an excellent acne inhibitor, slowing down lipid production and inflammation in the sebaceous gland, which causes unwanted blemishes.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW CBC WORKS?

CBD versus CBC

The three most prominent cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant are THC, CBD, and CBG. However, Wholesale CBC Distillate is commonly referred to as CBD's "sibling" because, unlike THC, they are both non-intoxicating.

HOW DOES CBC HAPPEN?

CBC, like CBD and THC, is derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGa), the "mother" of all cannabinoids. It is converted into cannabichromene carboxylic acid by enzymes known as synthases (CBCa). When exposed to heat, CBCa acid decarboxylates and transforms into cannabichromene, or CBC.

CAN YOU GET HIGH ON CBC?

CBC is a potent non-psychoactive and non-intoxicating cannabinoid that will not get you high.

HOW DOES CBC ACTIVATE IN THE BODY?

Cannabinoids bind to receptors in our endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is in charge of maintaining balance and improving biological functions. THC and CBD interact with the ECS's primary receptors, which are CB1 receptors found in our brain and central nervous system, and CB2 receptors that help modulate our immune and inflammatory responses.

CBC protects CB1 and CB2 receptors from degradation, enhancing the beneficial effects of other cannabinoids on the body.

CBC Wholesale also stimulates CB2 receptors, which can help with inflammation, but it does not stimulate CB1 receptors, so it is not intoxicating. When CBC is combined with cannabinoids that do interact with CB1 receptors, such as THC, the therapeutic potential of both cannabinoids is increased.

PRODUCTS OF CBC

WHAT KINDS OF CBC PRODUCTS ARE ON THE MARKET?

Currently, only a few companies manufacture and sell CBC-infused products. This rarity is likely to change as more CBC research becomes available. The most common form of readily available products is CBC Wholesale tincture or oil, such as NuLeaf Naturals' full-spectrum CBC oil. Furthermore, most full-spectrum CBD oils contain trace amounts of CBC.

You can also find CBC concentrates, which are usually available as isolates and contain between 90% and 95% pure CBC. Unlike CBD, CBC does not crystallise, so CBC concentrates are only available in a thick, gel-like form rather than the typical crystalline rocks or powder. By combining CBC extracts with an e-liquid base, CBC-infused vape oils are created, which are commonly used for dabbing, filling vape cartridges, and making CBC edibles.

DO THERE EXIST HIGH CBC STRAINS?

CBC is typically found in younger plants. However, because most growers breed plants for high THC or CBD content, finding CBC Wholesale dominant strains on the market today will be difficult. A few strains do contain a trace:

CAN YOU SMOKE, VAPE, OR TAKE CBC?

CBC, like CBD and THC, can be added to oils, tinctures, and edibles for consumption. CBC can also be added to vape cartridges through oils and extracts.

HOW DO I GET CBC?

Most cannabinoids, including CBC, are extracted in the same way due to their similar chemical structure. To separate CBC Wholesale compounds from the plant, for example, you can use a supercritical extraction process with CO2 or solvents like ethanol. The solution can then be heated under a vacuum to remove all of the solvents, leaving a high-purity CBC concentrate behind. Once extracted, keep CBC products at room temperature and away from direct sunlight to maintain potency.

CBC MARKETING

IS THE CBC LEGAL?

The answer, like that of every other cannabinoid, is hazy. THC is technically legal if it appears in hemp at a concentration of less than 0.3%. CBD products are also widely legal in the majority of states because they are hemp-derived and contain no illegal THC levels. It stands to reason that this regulatory stance would apply to CBC Wholesale as well. The caveat is that unless you live in a state where cannabis is legal, CBC products must be derived from compliant hemp plants.

POTENCY OF CBC & TESTING

HOW IS CBC POTENCY DETERMINED?

CBC Wholesale is measured using potency tests in the same way that CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids are. Bona Voluntate Laboratory employs Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) machinery to precisely measure and detect CBC levels in edibles and extracts. Because of its ability to test samples at room temperature without requiring heat, which alters the results, HPLC is the preferred instrument for these products.

WHY SHOULD I GET A CBC TEST?

No one can deny that CBC has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. As consumers become more knowledgeable, they will seek out CBC's synergistic benefits to enhance their favorite hemp and cannabis strains. Why bother? Now is the time to educate consumers about one of the most abundant cannabinoids that has the potential to enhance the therapeutic and euphoric effects of their favorite products.
