What Is Beta-Caryophyllene?

The nature around us is not only beautiful but has such elements which can be highly impactful on our health. Beta-Caryophyllene is one such compound which is found in the oils extracted from the simple things such as cloves, rosemary, hemp, and cannabis. Although unknown until identified as a cannabinoid in 2008, B-Caryophyllene (BCP) is now an FDA approved first dietary cannabinoid.

BCP is a subject of study for numerous scientists after it received its recognition as a cannabinoid. The study which found it to be a cannabinoid also revealed its possible role in health enhancement.

Beta-Caryophyllene has still managed to remain the subject of interest in the world of chemistry and pharma which is why the research studies are still on-going.

Recent Studies on BCP And...

  1. Probable Role In Decreasing Alcohol Abuse: A 2014 study conducted on mice to test the level of alcohol consumption with BCP, it was found that the subjects decreased the intake of alcohol voluntarily.

  1. Anti-inflammation: BCP joins a host of other terpenes showing properties of anti-inflammation in the brain. Its anti-inflammatory traits have forced the scientists to look further for its probable therapeutic effects.

  1. Cancer: Although studies are still going on and are not conclusive, we surely have some references showing the positive side of BCP. In a study conducted in 2007, BCP was seen to increase the efficacy of Paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug. The recent studies, however, pointed towards BCP’s very own anti-cancer properties of suppressing the tumor.

  1. Anti-oxidation: Antioxidants play a unique role in our body of fighting radical scavengers roaming in our body. This research delivered an indication of Caryophyllene being an antioxidant.

There have been many more studies about BCP being an analgesic, a probable reliever of diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. Its efficacy in aiding these health conditions has intrigued the medical world just like CBD terps and oils did.

Being a constituent of hemp, you may be taking it indirectly if you buy CBD products online formulated for an entourage effect. Heartland Holistics is extracting hemp oil using the most expensive extraction technique to proffer the best CBD edibles for sale to the athletes of the USA.
