THE 400+ COMPOUNDS OF HEMP
1 PLANT. 400+ BENEFICIAL COMPOUNDS.
For thousands of years, hemp evolved alongside the human endocannabinoid system—creating the most complex phytochemical profile on Earth.
What you're looking at isn't just a supplement. It's biological poetry. A symphony of molecules designed to speak the language your body already knows.
THE CANNABINOIDS: 140+ MASTER REGULATORS
The Architects of Balance
Cannabinoids are hemp's signature compounds—molecules that fit perfectly into your endocannabinoid receptors like keys in locks. No other plant on Earth produces these in such abundance or variety.
The Majors:
CBD (Cannabidiol) – The Peacekeeper
Anti-anxiety | Anti-inflammatory | Neuroprotective | Pain relief
The most abundant cannabinoid. Calms without sedating. Heals without intoxicating.
CBG (Cannabigerol) – The Mother of All Cannabinoids
Focus | Calm energy | Antibacterial | Neuroprotective
The precursor to all other cannabinoids. Rare, powerful, clarifying.
CBN (Cannabinol) – The Night Shift
Deep sleep | Sedation | Pain relief | Muscle relaxation
The most sedating cannabinoid. Nature's sleep medicine.
CBC (Cannabichromene) – The Mood Lifter
Mood support | Anti-inflammatory | Neurogenesis | Pain modulation
Works synergistically with CBD to amplify effects.
CBDV (Cannabidivarin) – The Neuroprotector
Anti-seizure | Nausea relief | Mood regulation
Especially powerful for neurological support.
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) – The Energizer
Appetite suppressant | Energy boost | Bone growth | Glucose regulation
The opposite of THC—activating, not sedating.
Delta-8 THC – The Gentle High
Mild euphoria | Anti-nausea | Appetite stimulation | Pain relief
All the benefits, half the intensity.
The Minors (130+ more):
CBDA, CBGA, CBCA, CBL, CBT, CBCV, CBDVA, THCA, and over 120 others—each with unique properties, many yet to be fully studied. This is hemp's hidden intelligence, waiting to be understood.
What they do together:
Regulate pain, inflammation, mood, sleep, appetite, memory, immune response, and cellular repair. They are your body's internal pharmacists, creating balance from chaos.
THE TERPENES: 200+ AROMATIC ALCHEMISTS
The Enhancers, The Healers, The Amplifiers
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give plants their scent—but in hemp, they do far more. They enhance cannabinoid absorption, provide their own therapeutic effects, and create the "entourage effect" that makes full-spectrum hemp so powerful.

What they do together:
Enhance absorption. Amplify effects. Modulate intensity. Deliver their own unique properties such as calming, sleep support, mood regulation and recovery.
THE FLAVONOIDS: 50+ SILENT PROTECTORS
The Anti-Inflammatories, The Antioxidants, The Defenders
Flavonoids are plant pigments that protect against UV damage, pests, and disease. In your body, they do the same—protecting cells, reducing inflammation, and fighting oxidative stress.
The Powerhouses:
Cannflavins A, B, C – Hemp's Secret Weapon
💊 Benefits: Anti-inflammatory (30x stronger than aspirin) | Pain relief | Neuroprotective

THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT: WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS
Why 400+ Compounds Work Better Than One
Imagine an orchestra. CBD is the lead violin—beautiful on its own. But when you add the cellos (terpenes), the brass (flavonoids), the percussion (minor cannabinoids), and the strings (essential nutrients), you don't just get louder—you get symphonic.
This is the entourage effect.
What science shows:
- Full-spectrum hemp is more effective at lower doses than CBD isolate
- Terpenes increase cannabinoid absorption by up to 400%
- Minor cannabinoids modulate major cannabinoid effects (reducing side effects, enhancing benefits)
- Flavonoids amplify anti-inflammatory effects exponentially
The result:
The whole plant is infinitely more intelligent than any single isolated compound.
